I used Erica as a night nanny for my infant twins. From 2 weeks till 6 weeks. She was absolutely amazing. She knew how to care for my babies in a nurturing, comfortable way! She also had bottles cleaned and prepared for me by the time i woke up in the mornings. She is very reliable and trustworthy. We had to part ways due to us moving out of state. We even offered to have her come with us because she was that great with them! Alissa

I recently completed my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and Spanish. My current goals include beginning grad school to complete a Master's in Speech Pathology. I have worked with kiddos of all ages since high school, and each one has taught me something new. I love working with kids because each one has always reminded me that I can learn just as much from them as they can from me, and they hold a special place in my heart. My most recent role was as a first-grade teacher, but I have experience working with all ages from infants to teenagers. I am so excited to connect with new families!

Mary Ann was great! My wife and I both work and have long commutes. She would pick up my daughter and 2 nephews from elementary school and take them back to my home in Gurnee. You could tell she loved the kids. She was mostly prompt, very flexible and always respectful. I would recommend her to any working parents who need some extra help.

Maggie worked with us as a night nanny for our 3–4 month old baby. She is responsible, experienced, hardworking, and genuinely caring. You can really tell how much she cares about babies from the thoughtful way she looks after them and how much attention she pays to small details. She follows instructions well while also using her own judgment and being flexible when needed. I always felt very reassured leaving our baby in her care overnight. We would definitely recommend her!

Pricila is a rare find. She is a wonderful person who is extremely competent at what she does. She is very patient, understanding, and kind to the littles (1-3). Our kids LOVE her and got excited when she came around. She effortlessly worked with our autistic son and was able to communicate with him and help him out when he was struggling. We'd hire Pricila again in a heartbeat.

Currently working full time for a family with an infant, and looking to pick up extra work on the weekends or even date nights during the week. I have experience caring for multiple children, twins, newborns, and school aged children. I’m learning how to help with daily routines and working side by side with therapists for special needs children. I do have experience with caring for multiple children at once, including twins. I love doing outdoor and indoor activities; hand painting, coloring, and reading books are a normal part of our day. My days are full of different ideas to keep creative little minds going. Having raised 2 daughters of my own, I learned that having a fun day is most important!! I became a Certified Nurse Assistant in 2005, and worked as a Patient Care Tech for about 3 years, and I am CPR certified. My experience as a Nanny includes a variety of tasks in addition to childcare, including: light housekeeping, transportation to/from school and activities, cooking, and running errands. I am extremely reliable, never calling off work, and always on time. I am also very flexible with my schedule, and can start early or stay late on short notice. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have reliable transportation. Happy to provide detailed resume and current references upon request. Diane M

I've done childcare for most of my life and had been a nanny for more than 17 yrs. I've watched twins, preemies, and kids with physical ailments. I have a 17yr. old daughter and a 12 yr. old son. I'm really looking for a great overall position where I'm wearing many hats. I am currently looking for PT work Mondays, Wed. and Fridays. I can do occasional work or help out because you are in a bind with babysitting, driving, House Managing, Personal Assistant, organizing or anything along those lines. I am naturally caring, and I am a Mom ( and everyone tells me I'm a good mom) so I am sure I would have a lot to contribute or suggest if ever your looking for input! I have many verifiable references and a perfect driving record and great credit (which for some reason people ask about) and have been married to the love of my life for 22 yrs (together for 29). I have a lot to offer and would love to share my resume with you!
