I have been in childcare for many years and in many different settings, including daycares, private households as a full time nanny, and of course countless date-night/occasional families. I am CPR certified for infants and adults, and am currently in school for education. I love working with children because I enjoy watching their curious nature flourish and having my part in helping them learn and grow. I have experience with all ages, as well as experience with potty training, sleep training, etc. All of my different experience has helped me become the caregiver I am today, and I look forward to growing and learning even more.

Leah was great, my kids are iffy on babysitters to begin with and both absolutely loved her. She was in communication from the time of booking to the day of the appointment and was very easy to work with. We will definitely book Leah again!

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 :)

My long term goal is to be a preschool teacher, therefore in high school I had the opportunity to observe and participate in a preschool program at South East elementary school. In my experience I assisted the children with their daily routines and responsibilities. Helping foster their independence was one of the best parts of my job. I loved seeing them smile when they accomplished something. My interests include, animals, music, kids,singing dancing, and biking. I'm a very outgoing person, I'm a recent graduate of Sycamore High school and I hope to obtain an opportunity to further my career goals.

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.

Hello. I raised two beautiful children, and during that time was employed for just over three years in childcare. Once my children were older I worked as a Mechanical Engineer then retired early. I am ready to begin childcare again. I am fun-loving, caring and calm. I was a tutor for two years in college, so I could easily step in with homework help. I LOVE babies.
