We had the pleasure of employing Judy and we are writing without reservation to share with you that Judy’s loving nature, character, and attentiveness are outstanding qualities she possesses in her role as a Nanny. Judy was a full time Nanny for us from January 5, 2011 to January 3, 2012. Judy is a trustworthy and extremely responsible person. She was entrusted to care for our daughter on a full time basis from 4 months to 16 months of age. As a U.S. Navy Family Physician, my schedule is extremely demanding, and my husband was very busy as a full time graduate student. Judy demonstrated the utmost punctuality and flexibility. We would provide a tentative schedule each month and she would arrive on time or early. Inevitably, my job would keep me late at the hospital and Judy was willing to support our family by staying past her scheduled time on short notice. In addition, I would take overnight call in the hospital, and Judy would work until 9pm at times awaiting my husband’s arrival home to take over childcare. She embodied the work ethic “Semper Gumby” meaning “always flexible”. As an employee, Judy always communicated clearly both verbally and in writing. Judy utilized written tools and logs to assist in her routine job functions. We interacted daily with Judy and her communication style was very positive. Any issues requiring discussion were well thought out, and her clear communication helped us to become better employers. Judy demonstrated the ability to be proactive and resourceful. She found different ways to entertain and teach our daughter. We could depend on Judy to ensure a warm, loving, and supportive environment at all times. Dependable and supportive, she became a part of our family. Her cooperative efforts to help us raise our daughter over the past year made it possible for me to focus on work and to come home to a calm and controlled environment. We wholeheartedly recommend Judy for a Nanny position. Judy was accommodating and eager to assist us. Judy’s professionalism, caring and dedication are evident and we give her our strongest recommendation

Jhayla M., Nanny in Smithton, IL 62285 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Jhayla, and I’m 25 years old. I’ve always had a passion for working with children and helping them learn and grow. I currently work as a paraprofessional at an elementary school and at La Petite Academy, where I work with infants and young children. I’m also in school studying Early Childhood Education because my goal is to build a lifelong career working with children. As a paraprofessional, I support children in the classroom by assisting with learning activities, meals, bathroom breaks, transitions, and encouraging positive behavior while creating a safe and supportive environment. At La Petite Academy, I care for infants and toddlers by changing diapers, preparing bottles, feeding, following nap schedules, supervising playtime, and planning age-appropriate activities that help support their development. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve also babysat children of different ages, so I’m comfortable caring for infants through school-age children. I’m patient, dependable, nurturing, and always put children’s safety first. I love building strong relationships with children and their families and helping every child feel safe, loved, and confident. I’m looking for an evening and weekend childcare position because I truly enjoy working with children and would love to spend my extra time doing something I’m passionate about while providing dependable, high-quality care for families.

Jhayla worked for us for about two years until we relocated. She was so amazing. She loved on my kids like they were hers. She was always reliable and kind. I never had to worry about a mess when I got home or the children being crazy. I highly recommend her. You won’t regret it.

Hi, I’m Fae and I have spent the last 8 years caring for children as a nanny, daycare teacher, and babysitter. Over the past couple years I’ve been building my own small babysitting and petsitting business, Faecare! Most of my experience is with infants, though I’ve cared for children up to age 12. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, can pass a background check, dependable, patient, and passionate about creating a calm, loving environment where kids can learn through play, nature, books, music, and everyday exploration. I am not afraid of a little mess!

Jill A., Nanny in Smithton, IL 62285 with 0 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m a stay at home mom to 4 kids, ages 23, 20, 18, and 14. With just one left at home these days and busy in high school, I’m excited to lend a hand to busy families. I find joy in working with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. My experiences with my own 4 kids, my friends’ kids, many playgroups and activities over the years, and volunteering with all ages in our church community have really shown me that my passion is working with little ones to learn and enjoy their days. I’m a light hearted, laid back mom who likes to keep things playful and fun. I can run a tight ship, but it doesn’t need to be boring or punitive. My bachelors degrees are in math and math-secondary education. I taught high school math for 2 years before having my first son and deciding to be a stay at home mom. I’d love to lean into a new career helping young families with the day to day life that comes with raising little ones. Can’t wait to meet your family!

Angela C., Nanny in Smithton, IL 62285 with 20 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves working with children and believes every child deserves to feel safe, encouraged, and valued. I have training in both babysitting and nannying, as well as experience as a teaching assistant, which has helped me develop patience, organization, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. I enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and simply enjoy being kids. One of my favorite parts of childcare is investing in the next generation. Whether we’re reading stories, playing games, making crafts, spending time outdoors, or homework help. I strive to make each day meaningful while encouraging confidence, kindness, and curiosity. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, well cared for, and having fun.
