Hi parents! I've spent many years working with children of all ages. I've nannied infants from newborn to age 1 (including twins), worked as a daycare assistant teacher for 2 to 3 year olds, and most recently helped care for after-school groups of elementary-age kids on-site with the Rockford and Harlem public school districts. I also enjoy helping with school pickups and dropoffs, homework, and after-school routines. I naturally care for your children with the same love I'd give my own, always respecting the rules you set as their parent while supporting their emotional and developmental growth. As the oldest of four and a prior caregiver to my nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities, I bring patience, attentiveness, and an easygoing approach to bathing, dressing, feeding, playtime, and even inevitable messy accidents! I'm happy to pitch in however I can, including cooking, housekeeping, or pet care as time allows. My favorite part of this work is staying with a family long enough to watch the kids grow and become an important part of their lives! Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I'd love to connect!

Paloma was timely, flexible, and caring with my infant (11m/o) and toddler (2.5 y/o). She put both my infant and toddler to sleep, and managed two at the same time. She provided text and picture updates and even captured a few notes that she left behind on the counter. I'd recommend!

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! My name is Amorin, I live in the downtown beloit area and I am a seasonal farmworker as the head chef at Kinnikinnick Farms. I have two sons (ages 2 and 5) that me and the father of my children split custody with. His days are wed-friday so those days work best for me to care for your child earlier then 9 am. I have CPR/Heimlich and First Aid certification and I love all fur babies so I would have no problem working in a household with animals.

Amorin did a fantastic job watching my 3 year old son. She was very conscious of his food allergies, yet still made sure he was fed nutritiously and stayed active. My little guy loved being with her.

I love watching children because it’s such a fun experience watching them grow and learn. I’ve been watching children from ages 0-13 since I was 13 years old. I’ve babysat them during the day, taken them to events, watched them overnight, etc. I can change diapers, do hands on activities, help potty training, with homework, transport, speak English and Spanish. I also love animals and have experience working with all kinds of different ones!
