Hello parents! My experience includes nannying for infants from the newborn stage through 1 year of age (including twins experience) and being a daycare assistant teacher for kiddos aged 2 to 3 years old. I am also experienced in school-age pickups/dropoffs, homework help, and after-school routine management. Most recently, I have been an after-school elementary youth instructor on-site with the Rockford and Harlem Public School District. My approach with your children is loving and caring as if they are my own while maintaining the rules you set as the parent. The basis of my personalized approach is to ensure your kids still meet their emotional, developmental, and psychological goals as if in the parent's care. My experience caring for children with special needs has also greatly benefited my comfort and confidence in childcare. I myself have a nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities. My care for her has sharpened my attentiveness and understanding of the needs of infants and young children, as well as comfort in activities like bathing, dressing, feeding, or entertaining—and not being afraid of handling messy accidents. I am the oldest child of four, so naturally enjoy caring for others and will feel fulfilled being a helping hand to your family. No job is too big or small, and I often go above and beyond to assist in cooking, housekeeping, or pet care. Please reach out and feel free to ask questions or verbalize any concerns. I’m excited to speak with you! (I am CPR/AED/First Aid Certified and fully vaccinated against COVID-19, preferring an environment in which others are too, however, am comfortable masking at any point and for any period of time.)

Paloma was timely, flexible, and caring with my infant (11m/o) and toddler (2.5 y/o). She put both my infant and toddler to sleep, and managed two at the same time. She provided text and picture updates and even captured a few notes that she left behind on the counter. I'd recommend!

We felt comfortable with Allison right away. She always comes on time, with a smile, ready to care for our busy, active 8,6 and 3 year old. She does crafts, movies, games with kids. They always look forward to seeing her. She is patient, fun, dependable and committed to providing safe care. Allison is flexible and creative. Any family would be lucky to have her watch their kids.

Hello! My name is Amorin, I live in the downtown beloit area and I am a seasonal farmworker as the head chef at Kinnikinnick Farms. I have two sons (ages 2 and 5) that me and the father of my children split custody with. His days are wed-friday so those days work best for me to care for your child earlier then 9 am. I have CPR/Heimlich and First Aid certification and I love all fur babies so I would have no problem working in a household with animals.

Amorin did a fantastic job watching my 3 year old son. She was very conscious of his food allergies, yet still made sure he was fed nutritiously and stayed active. My little guy loved being with her.

Tess has been so attentive, warm, and caring with my 5-month-old daughter! She asked questions about how to best soothe her in different situations that were so thoughtful. She has been detail-oriented and I trust her around our dog too. My daughter loves her and has quickly warmed up to her each time she was here.

Hello loves I have been babysitting for the past 6-7 years for many different families and would love to care for your little one too! I’m currently in school attending RockValley College for psychology and child development and because I love children so much I feel I learn better about them from being around them! I always have trouble expressing myself and by watching your children I can learn from them, as they learn from me!

Hello! My name is Lisa,I have been working with children for over 20 years, 15 as a full time private nanny. I am CPR and first aid certified, have taken many early childhood education college courses (CDA), and have a clean driving record. I am also fully vaccinated. I am married without children of my own, so I can be very flexible with my schedule as long as it's full time. I have worked in Caledonia, St. Charles, Wilmette Palatine,Wheeling,Arlington Heights, and currently in Inverness. I have fantastic references from many former employers (as their full time nanny) who can assure you that I am never late, always early. Being a nanny is not just a job to me,it's my career,and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy working closely with parents to provide the best care possible for their children. My goals are to meet the physical, emotional, educational, and social needs for the children to thrive and be happy. I love indoor play (art projects, pretend play,dancing,ect.) And activities outside of the home. Parks,library,classes,Gymborree, and any other activities that sound fun and/or educational. I have a lot of experience, and I'm game for pretty much anything! I have experience with ages 2 months to 12 years, and that includes watching siblings of different ages. The family that I am currently working for has twins. My 3rd set of twins! I have been with this family for almost 5 years and the girls are going off to full time school in August. I have always had a commute to work, which I'm fine with. I have never chosen a family to work for based upon where they live. I am fortunate that I have always followed my instincts and chosen to work for families who I, and the families,believe is the perfect fit. I would love the opportunity to chat and hear more about your family and share more about myself with you! Thank you for your time, Lisa Feel free to call me at 630-779-1431
