Find experienced child care providers in Poplar Grove, IL

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.)

Hello! My name is Linda, a 22 year old recent college graduate. I graduated from Elmhurst University with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a minor in Psych. Back in Elmhurst I also worked at an immediate care, meaning I am BLS certified. I used to nanny and babysit for many families back on campus, but am back in Rockford. I love kids and can provide many references. I am great with engaging kids and keeping them active with minimum screen time, as requested by parents. I met so many families back in Elmhurst, many of which I still keep in contact with. Looking to meet a family I can grow with :)

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!

I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents in both therapeutic and educational settings. From my time as a Behavior Specialist and Applied Behavior Analysis Technician, I’ve helped kids develop social skills, manage emotions, and thrive in structured and creative activities. I’m trained in safety and crisis intervention, and I always prioritize creating a secure, nurturing environment. Beyond safety, I love making time with kids fun! Whether it’s playing games, exploring crafts, reading together, or helping with homework, I enjoy engaging children in ways that spark curiosity and joy. My background in social work and psychology gives me a unique perspective to understand and respond to each child’s needs with patience and care. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and genuinely excited to spend time with your kids, I’d love to meet you and your family!
