Leah W., Child Care in Kirkland, IL 60146 with 12 years of paid experience

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.

Sharon F., Child Care in Kirkland, IL 60146 with 30 years of paid experience

I am a part-time nanny in the city of Naperville, IL. I care for two pre-school & elementary school aged girls as a live-out nanny and am looking for full-time position. I organize play by setting up play-dates, taking the girls to the park, and making sure they have plenty of opportunities to enjoy fun crafts at home. I prepare healthy meals, load dishes for clean-up afterward, and make sure the girls are clean, happy, healthy, and safe. They enjoy me and we always find ways to have fun. Their toys are always picked up and laundry done by the end of the day. They have been schooled in good manners, and poor behavior is addressed, and if need be, time-outs are given for discipline. As the kids grow and learn occasions for discipline grow more and more infrequent. Learning and being presented with the challenges of trying new things are an on-going experience. Our days are full and fun and pass quickly the girls are well-rested and pleasant and enjoy our group endeavors but are also given much-needed individual attention.

Averi C., Child Care in Kirkland, IL 60146 with 5 years of paid experience

Being a sitter can make you feel a sense of fulfillment by providing care and support while building a positive relationship with the children and their families. It’s a job where you can be creative, active, and make a meaningful impact on young lives. Growing up as the oldest coming from a big family you take on a lot of responsibilities and skills like communication, patience, understanding of child development stances, adaptability, problem solving, safety awareness, the availability to stay calm under pressure, and being able to foster a child’s social, emotional, and intellectual growth through engaging activities.

Alana L., Child Care in Kirkland, IL 60146 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello everyone! My name is Alana. I am currently looking to branch out and engage with what I am really passionate with. Growing up, I was the oldest sibling and was constantly surrounded by younger cousins, and I helped take care of them and watch them. This ultimately made me realize just how much I love being around kids and watching them grow and evolve. I love spending time with kids and getting to know them and finding out their little quirks and how each of their personalities differ. It warms my heart being around kiddos and knowing on some level I can positively impact their lives and lend a hand to the families.
