Claire D., Nanny in Saint Jacob, IL 62281 with 17 years of paid experience

I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including experience with twins and in nanny shares. I love to form a bond with the children I work with; I have stayed with most of my nanny families from when their child was a newborn or infant until they began preschool, 2 to 3 years later. I love spending time with kids; they always keep me on my toes! I really enjoy reading books, singing and playing with babies and young children, and taking them out to the park on a nice day. I also incorporate my love of animals and nature in our day, as I love to teach children about the living world around them, and help to bring out their inner scientist. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area just outside of Washington DC; I got my AS at NVCC, before finishing up my BS in Biology at George Mason University. I lived in Portland, OR for over 10 years, before moving to Collinsville, IL in August 2022. In my free time I bike, hike, swim, practice yoga, and cook healthy meals.

Haleigh S., Nanny in Saint Jacob, IL 62281 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! I've been work with kids since I was about 12 years old and in professional childcare for about 2 years now. I've worked as a teacher's assistant in two facilities, one elementary/middle school (Hanrahan Elementary), one preschool/infant care (Little Sunshines Playhouse), and a week-long stay-away summer camp with high schoolers (Kids Across America). I'm CPR certified through the American Heart Association and have put those skills to use before. I've also owned pets (cats, dogs, and fish), so I'm more than willing to work with kids and animals! Alongside my prior experience, I'm in the process of getting my education degree/teaching license! Lastly, for your kids with special health needs, I have experience in special needs children and specific medication administration as I have a chronic illness as well! Thank you for your consideration!

Casey H., Nanny in Saint Jacob, IL 62281 with 14 years of paid experience

I’m currently a paraprofessional in a K–2 self-contained special education classroom, and I truly love what I do. I’ve been in this role for the past two years, supporting students with diverse learning and developmental needs in a structured, nurturing environment. In addition to my classroom experience, I’ve been babysitting for over 14 years, caring for children from newborns to teenagers. During high school, I also nannied for the same family for three consecutive summers, building a strong, lasting relationship with both the children and their parents. I currently work for a school district during the school year and am looking for a summer nanny position where I can continue supporting children’s growth and development. I’m experienced with toileting and diapering, creating engaging and age-appropriate activities, meal prep, and light housekeeping. I’m also a licensed, reliable driver with experience safely transporting children. I love creating fun, meaningful moments with kids—whether that’s making them laugh, helping them learn something new, or guiding them through problem-solving. Working with children has always been my passion, and I’m currently pursuing my certification in Special Education at the elementary level. I’m happy to provide references and answer any questions—feel free to reach out!

Caring for children isn’t just a job for me its something I truly love 💕 I enjoy creating a safe, happy space where kids can learn, play, and just be themselves. Watching them grow, learn new things, and build confidence every day means everything to me. Being a sitter allows me to support families while giving each child the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I love building strong bonds with the kids and becoming someone they feel comfortable, safe, and happy around. Every day is different, full of smiles, learning moments, and little milestones and that’s what makes it so special to me
