Zaina H., Child Care in Elgin, IL 60120 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.

Hello Families! My name is Shelly. I am a mature woman with 2 adult children of my own and I am also "mom" to 4 animals: 2 dogs and 2 cats... I live in Bartlett and am currently a committed nanny providing care services to two families M-Friday day times. I am available and currently offering my child care and pet care services on evenings and weekends. After we get to know each other and we have established and built a mutually trusted relationship I am open for overnight care needs on weekends as long as it would not conflict with my current commitments to my weekday families. Sometimes busy moms and dads can use a bit of help evenings. Lets not forget couples ALSO need a night out to keep connected!!! LET ME HELP!!! I am active person and encourage outside play time that fosters fun, imaginative, and healthy lifestyle habits -weather permitting of course as apposed to encouraging non stop screen time . I can help with light meal prep and feeding for your kiddo's. I'm also a chronic tidy upper, but unless agreed upon in advance., actual house cleaning and laundry are not a part of my standard sitting services. I am a non smoker. I have a recent, reliable vehicle and spotless driving record. I can help with running errands and sports activity drop offs and pick ups. I will supervise homework but new math not my strong suit (haha) I can provide verifiable & recent references. Contact me and lets get to know each others. I am CPR and First aid certified and have a great sense of humor! Thank you and kind regards. Shelly.
