Find local nannies in Shorewood, IL

I have been babysitting for 20+ years along with nannying jobs throughout that time. I have always enjoyed playing with and caring for children. I am a mother to my almost 3 year old son, who loves playing with other kids while also having a good understanding of taking turns and using gentle play. I've been a cheerleading and dance coach as well as tumbling instructor for 15 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in dance, and I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with children and adolescents. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Illinois for 5 years in practice. I work part time as a telehealth therapist in the evenings and on Thursdays and Fridays. I have Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays reserved for at-home one on one time with my son, but we are looking for more kids and laughter to fill our home on those days. I like to keep the little ones in my care active and engaged while at the same time respectfully reinforcing guidelines and specific instructions that are set by each family. Some additional information on how I care for babies, toddlers, and children: I am great with finding creative activities to do indoors on rainy days but LOVE outdoor activities for when it is nice outside! We live walking distance from a park and have a secure wagon with seatbelts. I am truly fascinated in the development of children both cognitively and emotionally. I enjoy interacting with them as they learn and experience new things! I can also prepare nutritious meals and snacks in our smoke-free, pet-free home.

Hello! My name is Katie. I've been in child care for over 10 years. Children have taught me more about myself than I could ever imagine and I can only hope that I've returned the favor. I love working with children because they make me happy but they also keep me on my toes! Obviously it's not always sunshine and rainbows but the challenges that are met with this occupation are ones that I'm proud to take on. Message me for more details of my past and current experiences!

I became a Nanny because I absolutely love children of all ages! I come from a family of 9 children, and at the age of 5, I became an Aunt. Ever since then, I was raised babysitting all my nieces and nephews, which there were a lot of! I eventually had 3 children of my own, and between between all 3 of them, they have blessed me with 6 grandchildren ranging in ages from 6 months to 12 years old. I am very reliable, honest, loyal, trust worthy and I will care for any children as if they were my own. I love being able to teach children, regardless of what it is. I am a very creative person and I enjoy doing many things with children. If you’re interested about learning more about me, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you

Besides giving your child the attention he/she needs & meeting your expectations, I enjoy being in their world. I tend to narrate my actions so baby is always hearing my voice. Playing, reading, engaging in learning activities with them. Keeping children on track with milestones, and communicating any concerns I have with you regarding your child.

Hi! My name is Chelsey, and I’m a nurturing, creative, and experienced childcare provider with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and over five years of experience working with young children in classrooms, daycare centers, and as a nanny.
