I have been in the field of Child Care and Early Childhood Education for over 15 years. After graduating from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor's Degree in Child Development, I began my career as an Early Childhood Educator. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years. Working with children brings me so much joy. I’m passionate about early childhood education and truly believe the early years are the most important for sparking a lifelong love of learning, creativity, exploration, and play. I am also a proud mom of two wonderful children, ages 6 and 3. I’m currently seeking a position with a family who would welcome my 3-year-old to accompany me on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. She is a playful, kind, and sociable little girl who loves being around other children. With my professional experience as an educator and my personal experience as a mother, I offer a nurturing, dependable, and engaging environment for the children in my care. I strive to ensure your child always feels safe, respected, and loved while supporting their growth and development every step of the way. If you feel I could be a good fit for your family, I would love the opportunity to speak with you further.

Hi! I’m a responsible and energetic sitter with over 3 years of childcare experience working with children of all ages, from infants to older kids. I’m comfortable handling a wide range of responsibilities, including diaper changes, meal prep, and bedtime routines. I’m CPR certified and a trained lifeguard, so safety is always my top priority. I also teach swim lessons, which has helped me develop strong supervision skills and the ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation. I love staying active and engaged with kids and can also help with schoolwork, making learning fun and manageable. In addition to childcare, I can cook, drive to activities or errands, and help with kids’ hair if needed. I’m about to graduate high school and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive.

My name is Diana Simms. I am 27 years old. I live in the Plainfield area. I have been babysitting/nannying for more than 10 years. I would drive kids to activities and sports, make dinner, light house cleaning, pet care, long term/overnight care and more. I graduated nursing school so I am CPR certified. I also have my own car.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and being part of their growth. Every day is different—from helping with homework to creating fun activities—and it’s really rewarding to build a bond with a child and be someone they feel safe and comfortable with. I take pride in creating a positive, nurturing environment where they can learn, laugh, and just be themselves. I’ve had several years of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens. I’ve worked with my aunt at her licensed at home daycare, which insisted of daily routines such as educational activities aswell as fun I’ve also helped with light meal prep and homework support. Each experience has taught me something new about patience, communication, and understanding children’s unique needs. I’m great at keeping kids engaged with creative activities, structured routines, and positive discipline when needed. I’m also very dependable, organized, and calm under pressure—which I’ve found is really important when juggling the energy and unpredictability that comes with childcare.
