Find experienced nannies in South Roxana, IL

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.

My name is Crystal. I am 40 years young with lots of time in childcare. I have two grown young men both looking into being in the arts. One loves music and making sounds. The other a graphic arts designer. As high schooler, I took Child Development because I've always loved children. I would say I want ten however, I was only able to have two.

I recently graduated college this May with a Bachelors of Social Work. My goal is to work with children, and possibly highschool/college students in the future, to provide guidance and empowerment through any issues, but I’d rather gain more work experience before I begin my career. I have younger siblings that have disabilities and suffer from past abusive situations, so I have lots of experience with different kids needing different approaches of care that is right for them. As for professional experience, I’ve been a babysitter for two families within the last seven months providing care for two children who are 1 and 5. I'm patient, compassionate, empathetic, understanding, mindful, ambitious, and observant. I have good communication and time-management skills. I also have certifications in CPR and First Aid training, and I’m fully vaccinated. All these important skills will make me a great caregiver for your children.
