Hello parents! My experience includes nannying for infants from the newborn stage through 1 year of age (including twins experience) and being a daycare assistant teacher for kiddos aged 2 to 3 years old. I am also experienced in school-age pickups/dropoffs, homework help, and after-school routine management. Most recently, I have been an after-school elementary youth instructor on-site with the Rockford and Harlem Public School District. My approach with your children is loving and caring as if they are my own while maintaining the rules you set as the parent. The basis of my personalized approach is to ensure your kids still meet their emotional, developmental, and psychological goals as if in the parent's care. My experience caring for children with special needs has also greatly benefited my comfort and confidence in childcare. I myself have a nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities. My care for her has sharpened my attentiveness and understanding of the needs of infants and young children, as well as comfort in activities like bathing, dressing, feeding, or entertaining—and not being afraid of handling messy accidents. I am the oldest child of four, so naturally enjoy caring for others and will feel fulfilled being a helping hand to your family. No job is too big or small, and I often go above and beyond to assist in cooking, housekeeping, or pet care. Please reach out and feel free to ask questions or verbalize any concerns. I’m excited to speak with you! (I am CPR/AED/First Aid Certified and fully vaccinated against COVID-19, preferring an environment in which others are too, however, am comfortable masking at any point and for any period of time.)

Hello! My name is Linda, a 22 year old recent college graduate. I graduated from Elmhurst University with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a minor in Psych. Back in Elmhurst I also worked at an immediate care, meaning I am BLS certified. I used to nanny and babysit for many families back on campus, but am back in Rockford. I love kids and can provide many references. I am great with engaging kids and keeping them active with minimum screen time, as requested by parents. I met so many families back in Elmhurst, many of which I still keep in contact with. Looking to meet a family I can grow with :)

Hello loves I have been babysitting for the past 6-7 years for many different families and would love to care for your little one too! I’m currently in school attending RockValley College for psychology and child development and because I love children so much I feel I learn better about them from being around them! I always have trouble expressing myself and by watching your children I can learn from them, as they learn from me!

I have been providing childcare for over 20 years. I have three children of my own ages 19,13, & 10. I also have 3 nieces & 3 nephews whom I have taken care of many times and we are always together.  They love their "T T Kesh". My home has always been full of children.  I have taken several childcare courses and participated in a number of childcare seminars. I am CPR & 1st Aid certified. I hold a certificate in Special Care Training. In 2000, I became a license exempt childcare provider in my home because I wanted to be home with my children. I've cared for 6 children at one time. Currently, I work as an Early Childhood Teacher Paraprofessional at Fairview Early Childhood Center. Along with my lead teacher, I am responsible for 20 students per am, pm, and afternoon bussing schedule.

I grew up always wanting to be a teacher, as soon as I was able to get a job as a sitter I did, mainly watching my nephew from the time he was a newborn until I had to move(6 years). I’m currently a paraprofessional, for the past 4 years, I’ve worked mainly with 3rd-4th graders. With that being said I have quite the amount of energy, passion and patience for helping kids grow and learn more things! I try to be as interactive with the kids as possible whether with games, activities, crafts, etc. While I am working on getting re-certified, I have been CPR and First-aid certified in the past. I also have experience with changing diapers, working on potty training, staying on top of nap/sleep schedules, cooking meals and taking care of a variety of different pets.

Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m 25 years old with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve cared for little ones through nannying, babysitting, and supporting family members with young kids—including currently helping care for my 1-year-old niece. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally. I’m patient, reliable, and love being hands-on—whether that means planning engaging activities, helping with routines, or supporting milestones like potty training or early language development. I also understand the importance of clear communication and building strong, trusting relationships with parents. I am looking to connect with a family that values warmth, consistency, and genuine care. I’d love to bring my experience and enthusiasm to a new role!
