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 :)

Hi! My name is Kate, and I bring 22 years of hands-on caregiving experience to every family I work with. Caring for others isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to teens, as well as families with pets who need attentive, loving care while their owners are away. I’m known for being reliable, calm, patient, and deeply attentive, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment where children and pets feel comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for. I understand that trust is everything when inviting someone into your home. I treat every family with respect, communicate clearly, and follow routines and preferences carefully. Whether it’s playtime, homework help, bedtime routines, medication reminders, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I approach each responsibility with professionalism and heart.

Hi! I'm Emilee, and I've been a career nanny for over 11 years now. In my years providing personalized in-home childcare I've worked with several wonderful families, with children ranging from newborns all the way up to 8 years old. I genuinely find something exciting about every age group! I've worked with work-from-home and stay-at-home parents, and truly find that dynamic enjoyable. When I'm not working with kiddos, I spend my time crafting, baking, and traveling with my husband and 8 year old Wheaten terrier, Finn. I am currently only seeking opportunities on a very part-time and/or occasional basis.

Currently a Nanny of a 14 year old boy with Down syndrome. I’ve been with him for the past 3 years. Prior to him I watched a girl when she was 4-6 years old. I’ve enjoyed making connections not only with children but also their families. I LOVE taking kids on outings and don’t mind helping with household tasks! Although, I am a current Nanny, I’m looking to work more hours to build up my savings to get a home. I’m an unmarried 27 years old. I went to City First Leadership College for 4 years for ministry training and so if you appreciate a faith based care taker or simply someone with high morals, I’m your gal!
