Zeffyn H., Child Care in Pekin, IL 61554 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Zeffyn! I’m a 28 year old trans man who loves working with children & making a difference in their lives positively. I would love to work for a family who is lgbtq+ friendly as that is part of my identity. I have had several years of experience with kids & absolutely love the time I’ve had working with them. Being neurodivergent as well has helped me connect with kiddos on a deeper level & understand how they’re feeling when it’s harder to navigate!

Lydia E., Child Care in Pekin, IL 61554 with 9 years of paid experience

For nearly a decade, I've been nurturing young minds and creating positive experiences for children. My passion stems from a genuine love for fostering their growth and helping them feel safe and confident. I'm patient, creative, and approachable, which allows me to connect with children easily. I have some college experience and Early Child Development Coursework. I am also trained in CPR. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities that make learning fun. I prioritize clear communication with you, using your preferred method, whether it's verbal updates or regular texts. I'm comfortable following your household rules and happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time. I'm eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family, creating a supportive and joyful environment for your little one to thrive.

Hi, my name is Liv. I'm 22 yrs old & have over 6 years of experience in childcare. Throughout this time, I've worked as both a babysitter & nanny for children ranging in age from newborn-12 yrs old. In high school, I completed a two-hour childcare course. After high school I also completed many certificate courses working at the YWCA, and since then, I've gained hands-on experience with a variety of responsibilities including meal preparation, transportation, outdoor play, light housekeeping, diaper changes & homeschooling. I also have experience working with children who require additional support, including a child with cerebral palsy. I truly enjoy working with children & would be happy to share more about my background. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Brittany W., Child Care in Pekin, IL 61554 with 20 years of paid experience

Hi families, I was born and raised in Peoria. I have over 20 years of childcare experience, and I have been a full time nanny and household manager for the last 15+ years. I have worked all over the country for several families - caring for children ages ranging from newborn up to 13 years. Now that I have a daughter of my own, my husband and I have relocated to raise her where we grew up. Since she was born, I have taken her to my nanny jobs with me. All of them have been great fit for both families and socially & developmentally beneficial for the kids. L is 4, and I would love to find another family with a child around the same age. However, I am open to all ages. When she isn’t in preschool part-time, we love going on adventures. We have memberships to the zoo, playhouse, Wildlife Prairie Park, and country club. We love going to tumbling open gym, story time, and parks. We go for nature walks and play outside as much as we can when the weather allows for it. I have wonderful references and a resume I am happy to send per your request. We are excited about finding our next family to work with.
