I have experience caring for children of all ages—from babies to teenagers. I’m a calm, patient, and reliable person who enjoys spending time with kids, supporting their routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve helped with a variety of tasks like meal prep, playtime, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping things organized. I try to adapt to each child’s needs, whether they need more attention, encouragement, or just someone to have fun with. I also have basic knowledge of first aid and try to stay alert and responsible at all times. I know how important communication with parents is, and I always do my best to follow their instructions and keep them informed. Taking care of kids is something I truly enjoy, and I always aim to create a positive and respectful environment where they can feel comfortable and happy.

Hi Parents! My name is Janely Barrera I am 24 years old, and I live in Round Lake, IL. I’m a mom of two young boys, ages 5 and a one year old (he turns 2 in October). I graduated from Lake Forest High School and have experience in early childhood education through the tech campus program. I also completed a job-shadowing experience at a daycare near the hospital in Lake Forest. Additionally, I have gained valuable experience caring for my nieces and nephews, as well as from my own experiences as a mom. I also have experiences with any pets I have two cats and a dog at home ☺️ I took a break from my education to focus on being a full-time mom, but earlier this year, I graduated from esthetician school at Tricoci University of Beauty to get my state license and pursue my dream and also make everyone feel beautiful around me. I am eager to gain experience as a babysitter or nanny for families as a second full time job. Currently, I work part-time at Chick-fil-A in Crystal Lake, usually four evenings a week, from 5PM to 10 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 8am-5pm. I am available in the mornings and evenings Wednesdays and Thursdays and Saturday in the evening, Sundays I'm available morning till 5pm. If its okay with some parents My 5 year old and my one year old will be coming along with me some days until I get my one year old situated with daycare at the moment, he will start first week of August and my 5 year old until he starts kindergarten on August 14☺️ I have experience caring for children aged 0-10 years, with a particular focus on infants and toddlers aged 2-5. I am currently working on obtaining my CPR and First Aid certification. I have my own car and maintain a clean driving record. My skills include meal preparation, diaper changes, giving baths, playtime, engaging activities, sleep strategies, and organization. I am attentive to detail, patient, and enjoy building connections with children of all personalities. I will care for them like they are my own babies!

Hi everyone! My name is Jane and I am currently seeking a full-time nannying position. I have had the pleasure of working with kids for over a cumulative of 10 years first as a babysitter then as a coach and now to nanny. My main philosophy when it comes to kids is to love them the way they want and need to be loved. Whether that be through constant celebration of their daily wins or simply living in the moment with them through imaginative play, I am able and willing to love unconditionally. When it comes to educational growth, I like focusing on three core dimensions- Physical Activity, Cognitive Functioning and Emotional Awareness. I would be honored with the chance to meet and work with your family!
