Find local nannies in Elgin, IL

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.

I have 2 years experiance in a day care setting and 5 months of live-in nanny experiance for premature autistic twins. I have an 9 year old and a neuro divergent 4 year old, but am comfortable with all ages. Please ask for more details of availability

Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Carla and I am 28 years old with over 10 years of experience in the childcare field. I started off teaching kids skate school at my local ice rink and babysitting younger cousins as a teenager. After completing my bachelor’s degree at the University of Illinois, I took a job as assistant director of an afterschool program for kids ages 5-9 who have been through trauma. The program focused on academic support, social-emotional skill building and gardening/outdoor education. I stayed there for several years and found the work incredibly rewarding. Since then, I have worked as a tutor in an elementary and middle school and as a full time nanny to my wonderful friend’s infant. I am currently looking into going back to school for pediatric nursing and have some free time. I am comfortable around pets, preparing meals, doing light housekeeping and offering homework help.
