Find experienced nannies in Park Ridge, IL

Hello families! I'm Norma, a dedicated and nurturing nanny with over 20 years of experience in providing exceptional care to children aged 0-15. I am leaving my current nanny family of twin girls that I've cared for about 2 years, as they are moving to another state. Previously, I cared for 2 children for 6 years. We departed due to full time school enrollment. I've helped families with schedules, sleep training, drop offs, and potty training. With my daycare/preschool child development knowledge, I have also helped the children transition to a school setting, like teaching them their alphabet to teach them how to write their names. I also taught them spanish as I am bilingual. I am passionate about creating a safe and stimulating environment where children can thrive. My approach is warm, patient, and attentive, ensuring each child’s unique needs are met with love and understanding while also making learning fun. I started babysitting at 15. During high school, I volunteered at Christopher House pre-school as a teacher's aide for about 20 students. It was during this time that I fell in love with childhood development. I found it so rewarding learning all the fundamental elements to prepare children for kindergarten. During my first two years of college, I was lucky enough to work as a teacher's assistant and later as Head Teacher at a pre-school and daycare while also working alongside occupational and physical therapists during my time there. With the vast knowledge I acquired in a daycare setting (from learning the feeding schedule for a newborn, putting down a toddler, to teaching five year olds their abc's), I decided to move on to being a nanny. I went from following a curriculum to a more personalized schedule. Hopefully, you will consider me to provide care for your little one. Thank you for your time. Please feel free to reach out to me via sittercity messenger for any more questions. I'm comfortable with animals, but unfortunately, I'm highly allergic to cats.

Hi, I’m Valerie — a caregiver with over 25 years of professional childcare experience, offering calm, attentive, and emotionally intelligent care for children and families. I currently run a childcare program for children ages infant–6 years at Lakeview Presbyterian Church in Lakeview and am an educator with Irving Park Homeschool Group. My work centers on creating safe, nurturing, and thoughtfully structured environments where children feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. My approach is rooted in conscious parenting principles: emotional attunement, respectful communication, clear and loving boundaries, and supporting children’s nervous systems so they feel safe to explore, learn, and grow. I pay close attention not only to physical safety, but also to children’s emotional and psychological well-being — the details that truly set high-quality care apart. In my personal life, I’m a homeschooling mother of two pre-teens and an organizer of educational experiences for a homeschool community of approximately 60 families. Managing group dynamics, individual needs, and smooth transitions is second nature to me. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers bringing a grounded, confident presence to those tender early years. I also enjoy incorporating creative projects, imaginative play, and hands-on learning into the day in a way that feels natural and fun. I’m also very comfortable in homes with pets and consider furry family members an extra bonus. Families who work with me are typically looking for reliable, thoughtful, high-trust care and value experience, professionalism, and emotional intelligence. If that sounds like what you’re seeking, I’d love to connect. Warmly, Valerie
