Find experienced child care providers in Saint Jacob, IL

I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including experience with twins and in nanny shares. I love to form a bond with the children I work with; I have stayed with most of my nanny families from when their child was a newborn or infant until they began preschool, 2 to 3 years later. 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.

Hello! I've been work with kids since I was about 12 years old and in professional childcare for about 2 years now. I've worked as a teacher's assistant in two facilities, one elementary/middle school (Hanrahan Elementary), one preschool/infant care (Little Sunshines Playhouse), and a week-long stay-away summer camp with high schoolers (Kids Across America). I'm CPR certified through the American Heart Association and have put those skills to use before. I've also owned pets (cats, dogs, and fish), so I'm more than willing to work with kids and animals! Alongside my prior experience, I'm in the process of getting my education degree/teaching license! Lastly, for your kids with special health needs, I have experience in special needs children and specific medication administration as I have a chronic illness as well! Thank you for your consideration!

Hi, I'm Kalen. I'm new to the area and seeking my next babysitting / nanny opportunity with a wonderful family. I'm a kind, compassionate, and caring person as being the middle child of my siblings, caregiving has always been a part of my day-to-day. So, naturally, I turned to childcare as a profession at the age of 16 as my background caring for infants, toddlers, and youth started when I worked at a daycare . I upgraded to working with private families during the time of being pregnant and finishing my degree at SIUE in criminal since graduation, I’ve been looking for full time employment as babysitting is a side job even though I really enjoy working with children but as some jobs don’t come with benefits with a child I most definitely need benefits. I've been working in childcare for the last 12 years while as in my free time, I enjoy spending time with my son traveling or going to local parks doing activities to keep us busy . I'm looking forward to finding the next family that I'll be working with long-term. It's important that we both feel we're the right match for one another, so I appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio. I hope we connect soon!
