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.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Addy as our children’s driver, and she’s been absolutely wonderful! She is reliable, punctual, and always ensures that our kids feel safe and comfortable during the rides. Her communication is excellent, and she’s been flexible when we’ve needed adjustments to the schedule. Addy’s calm and kind demeanor has been a huge help in making the school commute a stress-free part of our day. I highly recommend her!

Jessica was very nice, my son told me he really liked reading with her. She was professional and curteous. Very polite young lady. My only problem is now that others read this they may steal her away from us; we would love to work with her again and again. Thanx So Much Jessica! You Rock!

Im 21 years old and I am applying for this job because I love children so much. I grew up watching all my siblings and cousins from birth until they have reached adolescence stage. I am the second oldest of 4 and I've watched my little siblings.I cook , do laundry, clean, help them with homework, supervise for the activities they do. For infant/toddler babies, I would change pampers, feed and play with them. I've gone to North Technical High School for Early Childcare and I've created activities and then supervised the children. For the children whom I worked with were ages from 2 to 5 years old. I also served them snack and make sure they were safe. I made lesson plans for the following subjects math, science, language, gross motor, music, and art. I think you should know that I am certified to do first aid and CPR
