Find experienced nannies in Byron, 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.)

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am a nanny of 4 years who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, nurturing, and dependable. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging environment where kids can thrive, and parents feel confident that their children are well cared for. I pay close attention to each child’s personalities, and I try my best to find ways to make everyday activities fun and meaningful. Cleaning up might sound like a lot of work, but a game of Simon Says, or a toy scavenger hunt is always an easy way to make helping out fun! In addition to keeping your children safe and having fun, I know consistency is a valuable part of a healthy upbringing. Reliability is very important to me—I show up on time, stay organized, and communicate clearly so families know they can always count on me. My goal is to be not only a babysitter but a positive, trusted part of your family’s daily life.

I’m a mom of three with over ten years of experience in childcare, caregiving, senior support, pet care, and household assistance. I previously owned and operated an in-home daycare, where I cared for children from infancy through school age, including children with developmental delays and sensory sensitivities. I focus on creating calm routines, engaging activities, and a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported and understood. I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, sensory activities, and helping with homework or early learning. I’m comfortable preparing meals, maintaining schedules, and supporting busy family routines. In addition to my professional childcare experience, I bring extensive hands-on experience supporting children ages 0–12 with autism and developmental delays, which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and understanding of individualized care. I’m currently pursuing a dual licensure degree in Special and Elementary Education, further supporting my passion for inclusive, people-centered care. I’ve also worked as a caregiver in a group home supporting men and women over age 50 with developmental and physical disabilities. My experience includes personal care, meals, medication reminders, companionship, and supervised community outings. I value dignity, consistency, and meaningful connection in senior care. I’m very comfortable with pets and household environments. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, have experience with fish and birds, and currently care for a bearded dragon. I’m comfortable with large pets, shedding animals, and following specific care instructions, and I’m open to learning care routines for other pets. I also provide light household support including cleaning, laundry, dishes, simple meal prep, errands, and organization, and can bring basic cleaning supplies if needed.
