Lisa S., Nanny in Garden Prairie, IL 61038 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Lisa,I have been working with children for over 20 years, 15 as a full time private nanny. I am CPR and first aid certified, have taken many early childhood education college courses (CDA), and have a clean driving record. I am also fully vaccinated. I am married without children of my own, so I can be very flexible with my schedule as long as it's full time. I have worked in Caledonia, St. Charles, Wilmette Palatine,Wheeling,Arlington Heights, and currently in Inverness. I have fantastic references from many former employers (as their full time nanny) who can assure you that I am never late, always early. Being a nanny is not just a job to me,it's my career,and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy working closely with parents to provide the best care possible for their children. My goals are to meet the physical, emotional, educational, and social needs for the children to thrive and be happy. I love indoor play (art projects, pretend play,dancing,ect.) And activities outside of the home. Parks,library,classes,Gymborree, and any other activities that sound fun and/or educational. I have a lot of experience, and I'm game for pretty much anything! I have experience with ages 2 months to 12 years, and that includes watching siblings of different ages. The family that I am currently working for has twins. My 3rd set of twins! I have been with this family for almost 5 years and the girls are going off to full time school in August. I have always had a commute to work, which I'm fine with. I have never chosen a family to work for based upon where they live. I am fortunate that I have always followed my instincts and chosen to work for families who I, and the families,believe is the perfect fit. I would love the opportunity to chat and hear more about your family and share more about myself with you! Thank you for your time, Lisa Feel free to call me at 630-779-1431

Linda L., Nanny in Garden Prairie, IL 61038 with 4 years of paid experience

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 :)

Karen P., Nanny in Garden Prairie, IL 61038 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello. I raised two beautiful children, and during that time was employed for just over three years in childcare. Once my children were older I worked as a Mechanical Engineer then retired early. I am ready to begin childcare again. I am fun-loving, caring and calm. I was a tutor for two years in college, so I could easily step in with homework help. I LOVE babies.

Brittany K., Nanny in Garden Prairie, IL 61038 with 10 years of paid experience

As long as I can remember, I've always been around kids. I became a mother's helper at a young age, and started babysitting around 5th grade. That seems like forever ago! I continued to babysit regularly through high school. After college, I was a nanny for a couple of years. I now work at a Day Care Center. I'm a fun, energetic person who loves kids! I am back in school for my Early Childhood Education certification (which I will earn December 2015). My schedule will change slightly until then as a new semester begins, but outside of that, I am very flexible. I am First Aid Certified, and with the expected ECE certification in fall, I will be CPR Certified too! :)

Taylor H., Nanny in Garden Prairie, IL 61038 with 15 years of paid experience

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.
