Looking for LaGrange or a touching suburb of LaGrange. A combination of 18 years of childcare experience babysitting and full-time nanny jobs, short and long-term from infants to teenagers, singles to multiples, high-functioning to special needs. I have maintained continued relationships with the families I have worked for over the years, becoming a part of each other's lives as they mature, whether it be to still provide childcare occasionally or to mentor them and participate in their family activities as they grow. Many of the families, in addition to providing childcare, have found my other skills very helpful in maintaining a comprehensive family life and running the home. These include but are not limited to home organization and cleaning, decorating/renovations, nutrition/meal planning and prep, pantry clean outs, event planning and hosting, house sitting, and other concierge-type services. I'm everyone's "go-to" for just about anything. I have many references for childcare Read more and my other skills from many families I am happy to provide. I am educated (BA in English Lit) and a professional that has a flex working schedule. No children, so I am available to dedicate my time and attention to yours. My strengths as a childcare provider are patience, understanding, nurturing, respectful, responsible and caring. My goals are to always make a child feel loved, safe, heard and understood while still enforcing the rules of your home. Teaching respect, responsibility and accountability while still having fun are the primary focus. Many of the children and parents in my life refer to me as a "grown-up kid" which is a compliment in that I am playful, active and love to laugh and be silly with them while still being a responsible and authoritative "grown-up." I am happy to always help with homework and school projects and attend classroom and school events. I drive a 2016 8 passenger SUV and am a safe and reliable driver. I am happy to provide transportation for all childcare and family needs. Childcare, transportation, and concierge services $25/hr if payroll. $20 if cash. Available immediately. Current position I have until end of school year is 5:30-8:30am (yes that's early!) in LaGrange so I can start at your house as early as 9 or slightly before. Monday through Thursday availability until 5/5:30. Can stay later on Wednesday evenings. Available for date night every other Friday night until as late as you want. No weekends mostly. Let me know what you need!
