More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes tutoring two elementary school students after school for about a year, where I helped them stay on track with homework and built a consistent routine for learning. I’ve also volunteered with younger kids ages 3–5 at School of Rock, where I helped introduce them to music and guided them through fun, beginner activities. Additionally, during high school I led choir sectionals, which meant organizing small groups, helping students practice their parts, and keeping everyone focused and engaged. These experiences taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and attentive while supporting kids in both structured and creative environments.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
ivities I enjoy doing with children include arts and crafts, music, games, and spending time outside. I love finding creative ways to keep kids engaged, whether that’s doing a small craft project, playing board games, going to the park, or making music together. I also enjoy helping with homework or reading, and I try to create a fun, positive environment where kids can learn, be creative, and feel comfortable.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment for the children. I think it’s important for kids to feel comfortable, listened to, and encouraged while they learn and grow. Building trust with both the children and the parents is also really important, and I always try to be responsible, patient, and attentive so everyone feels confident that the kids are in good hands.

Part-Time Nanny Available in De Kalb, IL: kElise R.
Hello, my name is Keira Ramirez. I am 20 years old and currently a student at NIU. I have been working with children aged newborn-13 years over the last 8 years of my life through babysitting, children gyms, coaching soccer, and even being a teacher at a local daycare from my home town. I am teacher qualified for daycare aged children, have my infant toddler credential, CPR and first aid certified, have my food handlers permit, and an overall passion for working with children. I have plenty of experience working with children with special needs including those with anger outburst and children with ASD. Over the last year I was the head teacher of the infant room at the daycare I worked at where I really worked on developing many skills with the children in my care, such as speech, fine motor, singing, dancing, and learning abilities. Building a strong connection with the children and families in my care is the most rewarding part of the job for me and I hope to continue to do that!
