Find experienced child care providers in Normal, IL

Hi, my name is Sarah. I have been working with children in various ways for several years now. My background is in elementary education with an ESL endorsement. However, I've worked in an early education center, first, as a preschool teacher, and then a toddler teacher. I have also worked as a child entertainer at Great Wolf Lodge. I am currently going to ISU for communication sciences and disorders with the goal of being a speech therapist. With my education and experience, I know different ways to help your kiddos grow. I can help children work on their regular math and reading, and I can also help to advance their social and emotional health. I have worked with all ages, so I am excited to potentially get to help more children grow and develop. That is my passion. I am hoping to find a family who can be flexible with my school schedule. I am also available for night and weekend care. Please contact me with any questions.

Good Day! My name is Deidre and I have worked as a Spanish Teacher and Tutor since 2005 for Chicago Public Schools through Children's Second Language in Matteson, IL and even privately for my own company named "Hablamos".

During my undergraduate studies, I worked with children who needed support in every way, and that experience deeply shaped my love for caregiving. It showed me how children are pure in love, mind, and spirit, and how meaningful it is to be part of their growth. All of my undergraduate internships and jobs were focused on working with children—caring for them, showing compassion, engaging in play, and supporting them through important emotional and developmental moments. Here in the United States, during my first year I worked as a nanny for two children, which gave me hands-on experience in daily care and routine management. After that, I transitioned to a position caring for an elderly person, which strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to provide attentive, individualized care. I consider myself responsible, patient, and dedicated, and I enjoy creating a safe and warm environment for those I care for. -Always work with a digital planner so that everyone has the correct information. - I can support you with any extra activities you may need. - Different activities for your little ones' development. --- 1.Punctuality 2.Willingness to adopt new routines 3.Teamwork 4.Communication and constant monitoring of plans. 5.
