"I can’t say enough good things about Jess! She is patient, goes above and beyond every day, and is constantly coming up with new ways to keep our boys (3 years, 2 years - not an easy task!) engaged throughout the day! She has become to be an extension of our own family and are so thankful to have been able to call her part of our “village.” Any family who is seeking a nanny would be lucky to hire Jess!"

"Jessica has been with our family for 6 years. We moved out of the area or else she would still be with us. She had been a great asset to our family and our 2 kids absolutely adore her. Jess always goes above and beyond for our kids and family and is already greatly missed. She is always playing games and doing activities with our kids which is important to us. I can not recommend Jessica enough. Please feel free to contact me at any time. I would be more then happy to speak with future employers."

"To Whom It May Concern,
It is with great pleasure that I write this reference for our exceptional nanny, Jessica Holt, who has been an integral part of our family for the past six years. Throughout her tenure with us, she has consistently demonstrated her exceptional childcare skills, unwavering dedication, and utmost professionalism.
Jessica has played a pivotal role in raising both our daughter and son, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the love, care, and guidance she has provided them during their formative years. Her commitment to their overall well-being and development has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Jessica has truly become an extended member of our family, and we are forever grateful for the love, support, and care she has provided our children. I highly recommend Jessica as a nanny."

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have nannied for multiple families. I was with my last family for over 6 years. I have worked with families that have twins/triplets. Every family I have worked with had an infant/newborn. I also worked at a daycare as a teacher in the 2-3 year old room. I have a 6 year old boy, and a 2 year old girl.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love doing crafts and projects with kids. Arts and crafts can be done with kids of all ages and abilities. I enjoy planning projects centered around each childs interests and different occasions throughout the year. I also love to get outside or create active games as much as possible. I think any type of interactive play (playdoh, legos, pretend play) is always fun!
The most important part about being a nanny...
I love seeing kids learn and grow and develop their personalities. I love being a part of that process and having a positive impact on them. Children also bring so much joy and laughter. I have created lifelong bonds with some of the kids and families that I've worked with, and that means everything to me.
My experience with special needs children...
My experience with special needs children and babies is wide-ranging. My first experience was with a triplet born with cerebral palsy, then a 4 year old with down syndrome that I worked closely with at a daycare (this is where I first began to learn ASL.) I have worked with children with severe dietary restrictions/allergies (including my own children.) I have experience with premature newborns, and NICU babies (also my daughter)

My name is Elle, I’m 22 years old and I just graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies - Child Development. I began college with an Elementary Education degree. For my first 3 years I took education and teach classes along with clinicals in elementary classrooms. I switched my major because I’d like to go into social work to ultimately work with DCFS one day. I participated in the Early Childhood program at Palatine High School where I got to be apart of the Pirate Pete Preschool from 19’-22’.
I’ve babysat kids and worked summer camps since I was around 15. Some of my favorite things to do with the kiddos is arts + crafts, going outside, the park, the pool, board games, dress up, video games, make up/ self care, playing with dolls or cars and so much more! I’m high energy but I can also wind down and relax with the kids. I’m open to over nights depending on the day as well!
