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 :)

Hi! I'm Claudette, a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 4 years of hands-on childcare experience. I previously led the K–1st grade classroom at the Rockford Boys and Girls Club, where I created engaging, safe, and nurturing environments for young learners. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve successfully potty trained over three children. I believe in building real connections with the kids I care for—not just supervising them, but genuinely sharing in their day. My goal is always to create a space where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn and grow. Whether we're diving into a fun craft, exploring outdoors, or working through a new skill, I bring patience, joy, and structure to every moment.

Hi, I am a 21 year old female who needs a little extra money. I graduated in 2022 and I passed all my Childhood Education classes. I also did a preschool/early childhood class. I worked at the Boys and Girls Club for 2 years. Now I am working at a School as a GPA (Someone who watches the kids at lunch and recess).I have babysat for many occasions for friends and family.I am CPR Certified and able to handle emergency situations. I am responsible. I have a clean criminal background. I am usually a very positive person, always laughing and smiling. I am patient and I am able to accommodate for different children in figuring out what they need/want and figuring out what works best for them. I can engage in any activity that the child enjoys for example board/video games, art projects, freeze dance, kicking a soccer ball around, etc. I am a great listener and empathetic. I am experienced with babies and able to learning what needs to be done. I am good at communicating with parents about what is going on and updates, especially if there is an emergency situation. I can be a little quiet and shy at first but once I feel comfortable I am able to express my concerns/ questions/ thoughts. I have a drivers license and a car. I am able to work with the parents and whatever they need me to do what that is how they feel they need to discipline or want me to clean the house, etc. I’m all about making both the parents and children in my care feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am willing to negotiate how much you can pay me an hour, but would prefer $20 or more.

I am an experienced preschool teacher looking for a change of pace. After teaching large classes the past decade I am looking to spend time working with a smaller group of children from my home in hopes to be able to spend more time with my family and less time commuting. I am first aid and cpr certified, credentialed to teach children through the CDA counsel, and have up to date food handler courses in my file. The bulk of my experience working with children are ages 6 weeks to 5 years, but I am open to spending time with school age children and helping with homework. I enjoy all things art, science, sensory and phonics and look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience in a new format. If you feel this would be a good fit for your family I would love to chat.
