Hello. I have been in the childcare field for over 28 years specializing in providing the best care for your child/children while parents are working and/or attending school. I provide "hands-on" and nuture as I feel this is very important. I have specialized training in the fields of asthma, special needs, child abuse, sexual abuse, cpr/first aid certification as well as Child Development. I work with children who have speech impairments, learning disabilities as well as teaching pre-school for chidren getting ready for kindergarden. I provide transportation to schools - District 3 (Beach Park Schools) and District 6 (Zion Schools) if needed. I provide back-up care, sick care as well as vacation/summer care. Nothing is more rewarding then having one of your daycare children comeup to you at the end of the day and say "I love you Miss Jan - your the best" with a hug/kiss. It makes my job so rewarding. I have had children from newborn to middle school who often bring up things that had happened (potty training, that special birthday party, stickers for good deeds) which often makes me feel that all my work has made this child excel in life and its a wonderful feeling.

I used Erica as a night nanny for my infant twins. From 2 weeks till 6 weeks. She was absolutely amazing. She knew how to care for my babies in a nurturing, comfortable way! She also had bottles cleaned and prepared for me by the time i woke up in the mornings. She is very reliable and trustworthy. We had to part ways due to us moving out of state. We even offered to have her come with us because she was that great with them! Alissa

Hi! I graduated from Drake University with a BS in psychology and I also have an associates degree in criminal justice. I currently live in Vernon Hills with my 3 year old daughter and our two dogs. I LOVE to cook healthy and colorful meals. I am CPR and CPI certified, and have experience with autism and special needs. I work for TrueNorth full time during the school year as an RBT, and also work part time as a program assistant for NSSRA and an autism services clinic as an RBT. I am currently looking for summer or weekend work, but have some flexibility to fill in for last minute needs during the week. I have over 20 years experience in childcare, 13 of which I worked as a nanny. I have a long history with multiple families in the area as a nanny, working overnights, filling in when caregivers are on vacation, and working weekends, and can provide multiple references. I love arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, and playing games. If you have any questions, feel free to message me!

Katie was able to fill-in at the last minute when our other sitter called-in sick. She arrived early, listened attentively and I came home to a cleaner house than the one I left. She was great and our son keeps talking about Katie!

Pricila is a rare find. She is a wonderful person who is extremely competent at what she does. She is very patient, understanding, and kind to the littles (1-3). Our kids LOVE her and got excited when she came around. She effortlessly worked with our autistic son and was able to communicate with him and help him out when he was struggling. We'd hire Pricila again in a heartbeat.

Mary Ann was great! My wife and I both work and have long commutes. She would pick up my daughter and 2 nephews from elementary school and take them back to my home in Gurnee. You could tell she loved the kids. She was mostly prompt, very flexible and always respectful. I would recommend her to any working parents who need some extra help.

I recently completed my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and Spanish. My current goals include beginning grad school to complete a Master's in Speech Pathology. I have worked with kiddos of all ages since high school, and each one has taught me something new. I love working with kids because each one has always reminded me that I can learn just as much from them as they can from me, and they hold a special place in my heart. My most recent role was as a first-grade teacher, but I have experience working with all ages from infants to teenagers. I am so excited to connect with new families!

Currently working full time for a family with an infant, and looking to pick up extra work on the weekends or even date nights during the week. I have experience caring for multiple children, twins, newborns, and school aged children. I’m learning how to help with daily routines and working side by side with therapists for special needs children. I do have experience with caring for multiple children at once, including twins. I love doing outdoor and indoor activities; hand painting, coloring, and reading books are a normal part of our day. My days are full of different ideas to keep creative little minds going. Having raised 2 daughters of my own, I learned that having a fun day is most important!! I became a Certified Nurse Assistant in 2005, and worked as a Patient Care Tech for about 3 years, and I am CPR certified. My experience as a Nanny includes a variety of tasks in addition to childcare, including: light housekeeping, transportation to/from school and activities, cooking, and running errands. I am extremely reliable, never calling off work, and always on time. I am also very flexible with my schedule, and can start early or stay late on short notice. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have reliable transportation. Happy to provide detailed resume and current references upon request. Diane M
