Meet Maureen

  • Comfortable with pets

First and most importantly to help put your mind at ease, I am a mom of 3(ages 30, 27 & 24) and I know how hard it is to find someone you trust implicitly to care for your own children. --I am currently available for a variety of childcare, pet care, house sitting/taking in mail, errand running. I also can provide respite care for seniors or adults/children with special needs. --I am very dependable and patient. I love working with children and watching them play and grow as well as guiding them along with the parents in all aspects of their learning and development. --I have worked in a few daycare centers as Infant/Toddler Lead Teacher thru the years while raising my children, as well as I have also run my own home daycare business, both PT & FT, on & off from approximately 1992 thru 2010. I have had a profile on sittercity for many Read more years and have worked for some wonderful families who remain references of mine still today. I have over 40 years experience as a childcare provider/nanny. --I have my Associates in ECE. I am CPR certified. I have a safe and insured car that will fit up to 3 children in the back seat. --I have experience with children who have Autism, ADHD, separation anxiety, selective mutism, Batten disease, more severe learning disorders,cerebral palsy, g-tube feedings and non-verbal children. I would feel completely comfortable working with a child that has any special needs as long as you train me and show me anything needed. --I prefer to work within 20 minutes or so of Oak Park, IL... but No Chicago jobs please. —-I don’t accept jobs for just before or just after school hours. I need to work full time so prefer jobs 6+ hours. Thank you for reading my profile and good luck with all your childcare needs. If you think I can be a helpful addition to your family, please send me a message and we can arrange a time to meet! Maureen

Maureen exceeded my expectations. She took an interest in what the kids wanted to do for the day. She fed my children healthy meals and took them on bike rides. They went to the park, to the pool, and to the splash park. She took them on a nature walk and they made a craft project out of their findings. My kids have really enjoyed their week with her. I would highly recommend her, and I am picky. We will be calling her again.
