Jan S., Child Care in Gifford, IL 61847 with 10 years of paid experience

Let me start by saying that I am available immediately. I am retired and find I have way too much time on my hands.  I wanted to do something to fill some of the time so I decided I would like to start watching children for people that need a dependable and caring person while they work outside of the home.  I know for a fact that it is a huge relief just knowing when you work outside of the home and you have someone there that is watching over your little ones that is dependable and caring -- that can mean everything.  I have raised 2 daughters and have cared for my 6 grandchildren throughout their years of growing.  When I'm not caring for your children I like to be with my grandchildren as much as possible and go to their sporting events. Spending time with family is very important to me. My preference would probably be to care for children 3 and over. I look forward to being able to come into your home and care for your children while they are in my care. I will do my best to be someone they look forward to seeing when I'm there. .

Jan is a life saver! I was in need of a last minute babysitter and she came to save the day. She was great with the kids, playing games and reading stories. My kids really enjoyed their time with her. I would highly recommend her!

Aqsa F., Child Care in Gifford, IL 61847 with 0 years of paid experience

I'm a neuroscience student at the University of Illinois with a genuine love for working with kids. Growing up helping care for my younger siblings taught me patience, adaptability, and how to really connect with children at their level. I've also worked as a one-on-one tutor, which sharpened my ability to stay calm, adapt to different personalities, and support growth at someone else's pace. I have ADHD myself which makes me especially empathetic and thoughtful with kids who experience the world differently. I'm warm, reliable, and genuinely fun to be around. I'm currently working toward my CPR and First Aid certification and am excited to bring my background and enthusiasm to your family. I would like to add that I do not have a car but I do have a valid drivers license!
