Hello. I have been in the childcare field for over 28 years specializing in providing the best care for your child/children while parents are working and/or attending school. I provide "hands-on" and nuture as I feel this is very important. I have specialized training in the fields of asthma, special needs, child abuse, sexual abuse, cpr/first aid certification as well as Child Development. I work with children who have speech impairments, learning disabilities as well as teaching pre-school for chidren getting ready for kindergarden. I provide transportation to schools - District 3 (Beach Park Schools) and District 6 (Zion Schools) if needed. I provide back-up care, sick care as well as vacation/summer care. Nothing is more rewarding then having one of your daycare children comeup to you at the end of the day and say "I love you Miss Jan - your the best" with a hug/kiss. It makes my job so rewarding. I have had children from newborn to middle school who often bring up things that had happened (potty training, that special birthday party, stickers for good deeds) which often makes me feel that all my work has made this child excel in life and its a wonderful feeling.

I have a passion for working with children and animals! I have been working with kids (babysitting and being a nanny) since I was 11! I was a preschool teacher for 6 years and am CPR/First Aid Certified. I have done volunteer work in an elementary school with working with the special need children and I also went to school for Vet Assisting and became a certified Vet Assistant! I absolutely LOVE being a nanny and enjoy going to the park, library, and doing fun activities like arts and crafts! I have also been a housekeeper and I have worked at doggie daycare so I am more than happy to watch animals and do some housekeeping as well. I am a positive, happy go lucky, reliable, and upbeat person who will always show up on time and with a smile on my face! :) I can send my resume and references separately.

Brandi is one of the most kind, loving, positive, and trustworthy people we have ever had in our son’s life. Our son can be shy around new people, but he warmed up to her immediately. She has a special gift for making children feel safe, loved, and valued. Her energy is calm, joyful, and uplifting. She consistently went above and beyond in caring for him, helping him learn new things, grow, and have fun every day. We always appreciated her excellent communication and professionalism. She is pure sunshine and made a huge impact on our son’s growth and self-confidence.

Mary Ann was great! My wife and I both work and have long commutes. She would pick up my daughter and 2 nephews from elementary school and take them back to my home in Gurnee. You could tell she loved the kids. She was mostly prompt, very flexible and always respectful. I would recommend her to any working parents who need some extra help.

Pricila is a rare find. She is a wonderful person who is extremely competent at what she does. She is very patient, understanding, and kind to the littles (1-3). Our kids LOVE her and got excited when she came around. She effortlessly worked with our autistic son and was able to communicate with him and help him out when he was struggling. We'd hire Pricila again in a heartbeat.

My name is Pamela Coats, I go by Pam. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. Your job stood out to me because it sounds like your child or children are one of my favorite ages to work with (believe or not!) and your schedule works great for me. I available on short notice if need. I maintain my First Aid skills. I also have a very good driving record. In addition to child care, I’m able to do light housekeeping and laundry. There would be very little TV or Computer time. As we would go for walks, do art and crafts and other fun activities. For baby’s we would have time on the floor doing many baby activities. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family. Thank You

Pam was truly a blessing to my family! She watched my 5 month old and 21 month old about 10 times, sometimes at our house and sometimes at hers. Her husband helped too, and they treated my kids like family. She was patient, engaging, and proactive in creating positive habits. She didn't just watch them, she bonded so much that my toddler adored her and didn't want to leave! Pam gave them her whole heart, was available last minute, and so supportive of me as a mom. She remembered everything and I was so thankful to find her. I highly recommend her!

Hello my name is Kayli Morales . I’m from Waukegan IL.I love working with kids and watching them grow . Being able to watch every mile stone makes me happy . I have 2 years of working in a daycare . I’m a lead teacher right now but I want to make more money for daily expenses . Also I want to have 1 on 1 with kids . I am CPR certified and first aid . I’m bilingual- Spanish and English. I have always had a gift to work with kids . Working with kids don’t feel like a Job to me . I was always stuck to taking care of my siblings friends kids or my cousin. Right now where I work I normally have 7 2 year old in one class room. I’m good at having a schedule since I know kids thrive when they knows what’s coming next . When my kids are having a breakdown I love to get at there eye level and figure out what’s wrong and talk through it . That seems to work really good with the kids at the daycare. I’m also really creative I love doing art work and being able to explore new things and discover. Kids love anything this is new to them . For more question you may have please don’t hesitate to contact me . Hope you have a great day . God bless you
