Paloma F., Child Care in Pecatonica, IL 61063 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi parents! I've spent many years working with children of all ages. I've nannied infants from newborn to age 1 (including twins), worked as a daycare assistant teacher for 2 to 3 year olds, and most recently helped care for after-school groups of elementary-age kids on-site with the Rockford and Harlem public school districts. I also enjoy helping with school pickups and dropoffs, homework, and after-school routines. I naturally care for your children with the same love I'd give my own, always respecting the rules you set as their parent while supporting their emotional and developmental growth. As the oldest of four and a prior caregiver to my nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities, I bring patience, attentiveness, and an easygoing approach to bathing, dressing, feeding, playtime, and even inevitable messy accidents! I'm happy to pitch in however I can, including cooking, housekeeping, or pet care as time allows. My favorite part of this work is staying with a family long enough to watch the kids grow and become an important part of their lives! Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I'd love to connect!

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!

I am an older sister of 6 much younger siblings and have raised them practically up to the point until I moved out of my parents house. I had multiple child care jobs while in high school. I am able to work with kids who have special needs, especially autism, and kids who have diabetes if needed. (Can’t afford enough money to do the website background checks but I promise I’m all clear)

Hi! My name is Jamesia, and I am a passionate Early Childhood Education professional who truly loves working with children. I earned my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education in March 2026 and am currently pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education with a focus in Leadership at Rasmussen University. I began my bachelor’s program in April 2026 and am expected to graduate in September 2027. I currently work as a Preschool Teacher with the City of Rockford and have nearly a year of professional experience in Early Childhood Education. I have also gained experience working with elementary-aged children, including teaching third grade. What I love most about working with children is watching them grow and discover who they are. I enjoy supporting their social, emotional, and cognitive development, encouraging their curiosity, and watching their personalities come to life. I believe every child deserves patience, understanding, encouragement, and a safe environment where they can learn and be themselves. I am CPR and First Aid trained and DCFS cleared. I take the responsibility of caring for children seriously and strive to provide families with dependable, nurturing, and professional care. I would love the opportunity to care for your child and provide them with the same patience, attention, and genuine care that I bring to my classroom every day. ❤️

I love watching children because it’s such a fun experience watching them grow and learn. I’ve been watching children from ages 0-13 since I was 13 years old. I’ve babysat them during the day, taken them to events, watched them overnight, etc. I can change diapers, do hands on activities, help potty training, with homework, transport, speak English and Spanish. I also love animals and have experience working with all kinds of different ones!
