I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years.

I love spending time with kids; they always keep me on my toes! I really enjoy reading books, singing and playing with babies and young children, and taking them out to the park on a nice day. I also incorporate my love of animals and nature in our day, as I love to teach children about the living world around them, and help to bring out their inner scientist. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area just outside of Washington DC; I got my AS at NVCC, before finishing up my BS in Biology at George Mason University. I lived in Portland, OR for over 10 years, before moving to Collinsville, IL in August 2022. In my free time I bike, hike, swim, practice yoga, and cook healthy meals.

Hi! My name is Jacinta, and I recently graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Louisville. I’m passionate about child development, emotional well-being, and creating safe, supportive environments where children can grow and thrive. I have 5 years of experience working at the Child Development Center on Fort Knox, where I cared for children of various ages while supporting their social, emotional, and developmental needs. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, structure, communication, and compassionate care. Families would describe me as dependable, calm, nurturing, and attentive. I genuinely enjoy building positive connections with children while making sure they feel safe, engaged, and cared for. Whether it’s helping with routines, creative activities, homework, or simply being a supportive presence, I strive to create a warm and trustworthy environment for every family I work with.

Hi families! 💕 As of now, I’m available for overnights Mon-Sun, late evenings, & Sat-Sun mornings. I’m also available for date nights & occasional babysitting. I’m so excited to connect with you! I’m currently a substitute teacher & absolutely love working w/kids—helping them learn, grow & have fun in a safe, caring environment. I bring patience, creativity & a positive attitude every day, whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside or learning something new. I’d love to support a family looking for an overnight/late evening nanny, babysitter or someone to call for date nights. I’m dependable, engaging & genuinely invested in children’s well-being. I’m lovable, energetic & love to have fun! I have a 10 yr old myself who brings me so much joy & happiness, so I know the ins & outs of caring for kids. I currently substitute when teachers call off, which allows me to work my own schedule, but I’m looking for stability—something FT or PT in the same field. I’m looking to be your perfect nanny since I already have advanced experience. I’d love to spend my time watching, caring for & teaching kids. I have experience watching 2 kids over the summer until they got older, & I can provide their family as a reference. I also love helping the elderly in my community & volunteering. I took a Child Development class in high school in 2013. After graduating, I worked as a Direct Support Professional & Personal Care Attendant helping individuals w/disabilities. Throughout the yrs, I’ve earned Mandt Training, CPR & First Aid, Substitute Teaching & Med Level 1. These certificates are currently active & I can provide proof. Caring for kids & adults isn’t just a job to me—it’s my passion. ❤️ When I was younger, I participated in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I graduated from the program & currently volunteer. I’ve also kept a connection w/my mentor, who was my Big Sister when I was younger. She is now a lawyer & can provide a great professional character reference for me. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, I’d be so happy to chat more! 😊
