Michelle C., Nanny in Elwood, IL 60421 with 30 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Michelle. I come from a very large and involved family and have been caring for both children and seniors for most of my life. I enjoy caring for others and believe in a strong support system at home. I prefer to get out and allow kids to learn and experience life first hand through adventures and activities rather than through a screen all of the time. I am college educated, CPR /First Aid Certified and look forward to getting to know you, your family, and how I can make life simpler for you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your time and have a great day!!

Michelle was a great help to our family! She was extremely kind and truly loved my kids. She was very good at sending updates during the day especially when she had to pick up/drop off the kids. I knew they were safe in her care :)

Venus T., Nanny in Elwood, IL 60421 with 9 years of paid experience

I love kids, I think this is the best quality in a person that you should look for. Kids are a delight. I have 8 nieces and 3 nephews, this is where my desire to take care of kids came from. They grow up so fast that you can't get enough of their nature. Being here, I am hoping to embrace a family in need and to be able to help raise a child. I am a yogi therefore very calm & patient. I am reliable, organize, passionate, caring, trustworthy and have a lot of love to share. Safety is my priority. Thanks for the time, may this be the beginning of a lifetime friendship. Have a wonderful day.

Kristy M., Nanny in Elwood, IL 60421 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello my name is Kristy, I am a caring reliable person, Childcare has always been my passion ever since I can remember. I have been nannying for about 3 years and also have been babysitting children since the age of fourteen! I am a reliable, active nanny and love to find new ways to get the children up and involved. I have experience with all ages of children ranging from newborn-preteen. My past position was caring for a newborn girl as well as a toddler and a preschooler part time, and a 11 year old boy and a 13 year old girl. I like helping children learn and watching them grow. I am a very social person, and very kind hearted. I attended Joliet Junior College for 2 years and plan to take more childcare classes to further my career as a child care provider by getting my CDA (Child Development Associate) I am looking for a family that I can work with long term. Please email me with any questions that you have. References available upon requested. Thanks for taking time and looking over my profile

We only got to talk on the phone with Kristy, but she left a very positive impression! She seems like a very sweet young lady, and would be a good fit for someone looking. :)

Brooklynn S.

Brooklynn S., Nanny in Elwood, IL 60421 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello, My name is Brooklynn. I'm 19 years old and I'm currently enrolled in college to become a child psychiatric nurse. My hobbies include: reading, exploring and just in general learning new things. My passion for children developed around age 16 when I would babysit my younger cousins and the neighborhood children throughout the whole summer. When I turned 18 the first thing I did was apply at a daycare as an assistant teacher and here I am a year later still pursuing a career involving children. One of the greatest treasures I have experienced from working with children is that not only do we as adults teach children certain life skills, but they also teach us. Through children I have learned the beauty of forgiving, being happy no matter the circumstance and that the smallest gesture can mean the most when it is done with a pure heart. I hope to depart all of these attributes into children I will be caring for in the future. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to learn a little about me. God bless you and have a nice rest of your day.
