Find experienced babysitters in Marine, IL

I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including experience with twins and in nanny shares. I love to form a bond with the children I work with; I have stayed with most of my nanny families from when their child was a newborn or infant until they began preschool, 2 to 3 years later. I love spending time with kids; they always keep me on my toes! I really enjoy reading books, singing and playing with babies and young children, and taking them out to the park on a nice day. I also incorporate my love of animals and nature in our day, as I love to teach children about the living world around them, and help to bring out their inner scientist. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area just outside of Washington DC; I got my AS at NVCC, before finishing up my BS in Biology at George Mason University. I lived in Portland, OR for over 10 years, before moving to Collinsville, IL in August 2022. In my free time I bike, hike, swim, practice yoga, and cook healthy meals.

I am a nanny with years of experience working with children from the ages of 1 month to 12 years. I enjoy caring for children and bring a considerable skill set to meet the needs of each child. I provide nurturing, compassion, creativity, and problem solving in my care of children. On a personal note, my two kids are grown and I have more time on my hands. With that time, I want to help young families thrive and earn money to surprise my Mom with a large gift.
