Hello! My name is Linda, a 22 year old recent college graduate. I graduated from Elmhurst University with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a minor in Psych. Back in Elmhurst I also worked at an immediate care, meaning I am BLS certified. I used to nanny and babysit for many families back on campus, but am back in Rockford. I love kids and can provide many references. I am great with engaging kids and keeping them active with minimum screen time, as requested by parents. I met so many families back in Elmhurst, many of which I still keep in contact with. Looking to meet a family I can grow with :)

I have several years of professional childcare experience, most recently serving in a manager-level nanny role where I oversaw both child development and household coordination. In this position, I directed personalized care for a family of four, ensuring the children’s safety while actively supporting their developmental growth and positive behavioral outcomes. I collaborated closely with the parents to design individualized development plans and tracked daily routines including sleep schedules, diaper changes, and activities through the Baby Connect app to maintain clear and consistent communication. In addition to childcare responsibilities, I helped improve overall household operations by implementing efficient management systems, coordinating meal planning and schedules, and transporting the children to and from medical appointments. Earlier in my nanny career, I also provided full-time care for a 3-month-old infant, where I focused on strengthening fine and gross motor skills through age-appropriate activities and incorporated physical therapy exercises based on PT orders, while closely monitoring developmental milestones and providing daily progress updates to the parents.

Hi! I'm Emilee, and I've been a career nanny for over 11 years now. In my years providing personalized in-home childcare I've worked with several wonderful families, with children ranging from newborns all the way up to 8 years old. I genuinely find something exciting about every age group! I've worked with work-from-home and stay-at-home parents, and truly find that dynamic enjoyable. When I'm not working with kiddos, I spend my time crafting, baking, and traveling with my husband and 8 year old Wheaten terrier, Finn. I am currently only seeking opportunities on a very part-time and/or occasional basis.

6 Year experienced nanny with wonderful references and background looking for long term nanny position. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my bio and consider me for the opportunity! Compassionate, nurturing, experienced caregiver looking for my next long term family. I've been working in childcare for 6+ years and have a passion for taking care of others. I have worked with ages 3 months and older, from large families to small. I have my RBT license which gives a back round of child psychology, and I worked with autistic children for over a year. Having that experience helps me exceed in communication and guidance. I have 1 years experience as an elderly caretaker. I also have my CPR certification, and clean driving record and no criminal record of any kind. I would describe myself as a very gentle, patient, and nurturing person. I am down to earth, loving, and creative. I am extremely hands on with learning, activities, and getting out in nature. I would love to help with household things as well. I am a very vibrant and social person, and I enjoy being silly, spending time outside, and finding new and fun ways to both play and teach. I'm all hands on deck when it comes to playtime and activities and introducing new crafts, puzzles, games, and ways to stimulate the mind and teach at the same time. I also enjoy and encourage field trips and am extremely comfortable and experienced with transporting to and from activities or classes! I am excited to join your team and help your little ones grow! (animals welcomed, I have 2 great danes so nothing is too much, trust me!) I just graduated Esthetics school and am really looking for a 2-4 day a week position to commit to while I build clients, currently working at a local salon 2 days a week. I have amazing references that I can offer to confirm my credibility and offer the references from the families I worked for long term. And I appreciate being given a chance after having done this for many many years! Thank you
