Hello, I’m Pam a Career Nanny with over 37+ years experience. Babies are my passion! I just finished a short term contract and I’m looking for a new family to help their child grow and meet all of their developmental milestones. I like to stay up to date with continuing education classes and currently I’m studying online to be an L&D Doula/Postpartum Doula. As a nurturing, reliable, and trustworthy Night Nanny with over 3 decades of experience, my role during the night is to ensure your newborn receives the best care while you get some well-deserved rest. Here’s what I do: 1. Feeding and Burping: I carefully prepare and feed bottles or assist with breastfeeding, ensuring your baby is well-fed and properly burped afterward. 2. Diaper Changes: I handle all diaper changes throughout the night, keeping your baby clean and comfortable. 3. Sleep Training: I work on establishing healthy sleep Read more routines and soothing your baby back to sleep when they wake up. 4. Monitoring Health: I vigilantly monitor your baby for any signs of illness or distress, ensuring they are safe and sound. 5. Parental Support: I’m here to answer any questions you have and offer guidance on newborn care, giving you peace of mind. With my nurturing approach and commitment to reliability and trustworthiness, I help you get the rest you need, knowing your baby is in expert hands. I’m comfortable working for HNW/HP Families. I have experience with multiples and singletons from newborns to teenagers. I’m a former Kindergarten Reading Specialist and I’ve also been a Tutor for Elementary through High School students. I’m a Widow and Mom to two amazing miracles. My 23 yo son, just graduated with a degree in Integrated Health Sciences from University Illinois Chicago and my 19yo daughter is studying Culinary Arts. I’ve always loved children and was nicknamed the baby soother by my family and friends many years ago. No matter where I go children just seem to feel at ease with me. I like to plan age appropriate seasonal crafts and activities and make sure that your child/children are outside in the fresh air (weather permitting) and socializing with other children. Whether at the many local libraries, parks, Children Museums, Zoos & Splash Pads (with your Family Membership) If you are interested in knowing more please reach out to me through messenger or you can call or text me at (815)325-1187.I look forward to hearing from you soon. Pam
