I have a passion for working with children and animals! I have been working with kids (babysitting and being a nanny) since I was 11! I was a preschool teacher for 6 years and am CPR/First Aid Certified. I have done volunteer work in an elementary school with working with the special need children and I also went to school for Vet Assisting and became a certified Vet Assistant! I absolutely LOVE being a nanny and enjoy going to the park, library, and doing fun activities like arts and crafts! I have also been a housekeeper and I have worked at doggie daycare so I am more than happy to watch animals and do some housekeeping as well. I am a positive, happy go lucky, reliable, and upbeat person who will always show up on time and with a smile on my face! :) I can send my resume and references separately.

Amanda M.
Brandi is one of the most kind, loving, positive, and trustworthy people we have ever had in our son’s life. Our son can be shy around new people, but he warmed up to her immediately. She has a special gift for making children feel safe, loved, and valued. Her energy is calm, joyful, and uplifting. She consistently went above and beyond in caring for him, helping him learn new things, grow, and have fun every day. We always appreciated her excellent communication and professionalism. She is pure sunshine and made a huge impact on our son’s growth and self-confidence.

Kass is great she is very reliable and caring. Never called off always on time. She took care of my 5 and 6 year old and they love her. I knew my kids were in good hands when she was there.

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.

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!

Hello! I have been caring for children for over 10 years and have loved every second of it. During that time, I’ve worked with multiple families caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I was also a live-in nanny for two years for a family with three children, ranging in age from 2 weeks to 10 years old. I am a very active person and enjoy going on walks, exploring new nature preserves, and spending time outdoors. I also love singing, dancing, drawing, playing games, and finding fun, engaging activities that help children learn and enjoy themselves. I strive to create a safe, caring, and positive environment where children feel supported while having fun. I hope I can be a great match for you and your family!

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.

My name is Pamela Coats, I go by Pam. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. Your job stood out to me because it sounds like your child or children are one of my favorite ages to work with (believe or not!) and your schedule works great for me. I available on short notice if need. I maintain my First Aid skills. I also have a very good driving record. In addition to child care, I’m able to do light housekeeping and laundry. There would be very little TV or Computer time. As we would go for walks, do art and crafts and other fun activities. For baby’s we would have time on the floor doing many baby activities. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family. Thank You

Pam was truly a blessing to my family! She watched my 5 month old and 21 month old about 10 times, sometimes at our house and sometimes at hers. Her husband helped too, and they treated my kids like family. She was patient, engaging, and proactive in creating positive habits. She didn't just watch them, she bonded so much that my toddler adored her and didn't want to leave! Pam gave them her whole heart, was available last minute, and so supportive of me as a mom. She remembered everything and I was so thankful to find her. I highly recommend her!
