Find experienced nannies in Deerfield, IL

I have 7 years of experience working as a full time nanny and many more years of being a babysitter. I can help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Meal Preparation. I am currently a full time caregiver for an incredible 4yr old girl with Cerebral Palsy and CVI. She is non verbal and not independently mobile. I pick her up from school and transport her home with her wheelchair and participate in her weekly in home therapies (PT 2x week, OT, ST). I also administer medication. Previously I was a full time nanny for an 19-month-old with HIE. When I started he had a nasal gastric feeding tube and I participated in his weekly in home PT, OT, ST, DT appointments. Working with children, especially those who are medically complex, is my purpose and passion in life. I also am currently babysitting for seven families in the area.

I have many years of experience with children in a wide range of settings, including many years of babysitting for families in their homes, working as a summer camp counselor, as an assistant teacher in a daycare, and volunteering in two elementary schools. I raised my own son and I occasionally watch my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. In the past year and a half I have watched a 2.5 year old boy, an infant girl from age 3 to 6 months, a baby boy from 7 to 10 months, and an 8 year old girl. I completed a pediatric first aid and CPR class in November 2023. When I am watching children I do not use my cell phone (other than in case of emergency or if I need to schedule an appointment) as I want to give the kids my undivided attention. I especially enjoy reading to children, doing art projects together, and taking nature walks. I am very energetic, and on days when I am not babysitting, I typically take 4 - 5 mile walks along the lake. I am very happy to provide professional and personal references. Among the parents from whom I can provide references are a neonatologist, a professor of psychology, a nurse, and an elementary schoolteacher. As a caregiver, I am highly reliable, kind, warm, and fun. I love both kids and dogs. My schedule is typically very flexible, and I can often make myself available for last-minute requests. Thank you. Rosanne

I love caring for children and helping them become kind, honest, and healthy individuals. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have worked with children with special needs such as autism, ADHD, wheelchair users, non-verbal communication, and bathroom assistance. I have extensive experience with trauma-informed care for children. During my work at domestic violence shelters, I helped them process their changes in environment and other major life adjustments. I will tidy up and perform some light housework. You will always come home to a calm, clean environment, so all you will need to do is relax.
