Find local child care providers in Morris, IL

Hello! I'm Taryn, a 21-year-old senior at Lincoln Memorial University with an exercise science major and a psychology minor. I'm on a pre-doctoral track for occupational therapy, and my dream is to be a pediatric occupational therapist. I'm trying to find a part—or full-time nanny job for this summer, and I'm always open to babysitting on an as-needed basis. With 8+ years of babysitting experience, I've worked at an after-school daycare program, as full-time nanny the past few summers, and as a regular babysitter for local families during the school year. My experience spans from infants to 6th graders, including children with special needs including autism, non-verbal communication, and a range of behavioral challenges. I have a unique perspective on special needs care due to my close relationship with my 10 year old brother. He was fostered and adopted as a newborn and is currently diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder, ADHD, and a generalized anxiety disorder. With trauma and drug exposure in utero he was diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder and ADHD. I prioritize creating a positive, nurturing environment for every child in my care. My experience has equipped me with the skills to handle a wide range of situations, including severe behavioral outbursts, with patience and understanding. I'm available during most afternoons/evenings, and during the weekends, and I'm always happy to meet with families before committing, to make sure we're good fit! Please don't hesitate to reach out - I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos!
