A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Grace, and I have over 4.5 years of full-time nanny experience caring for children from infancy through early childhood. I spent 3.5 years with my first nanny family and 8 months with my most recent family, caring for three children of different ages, including an infant.

My childcare approach combines gentle parenting, clear boundaries, and positive discipline. I love creating Montessori-inspired activities, doing arts and crafts, encouraging imaginative play, and exploring outdoors. I believe play and connecting with nature are essential to children’s growth and development.

I also have experience with children’s meal preparation, light child-related housekeeping, maintaining routines, and creating safe, nurturing environments. I value open communication and building trusting relationships with parents. In the future, I hope to become a foster parent. Being a nanny is rewarding because I love helping children feel loved, confident, and supported as they grow!

A little bit about me

Hello families! I am on the search for a new family come August-the current family I work for is amazing but their needs have changed. I’m a mom of 2 and former preschool/kindergarten prep teacher turned full time nanny. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I have amazing references from parents I can provide as well. I am looking for a nanny/sitter position that would be flexible for the hours I’m looking for. I have over 17yrs experience as well! I am creative, patient and kind. I validate a child’s feelings and help them not only feel heard but understand their emotions and how to properly express them. I don’t just play-I teach. Every motion I make, every experience I have-has an academic twist on things. I follow the child’s lead. I have many great years of understanding how the child’s mind works that I can help them not only be confident in academics, but themselves and their emotions. Please feel free to reach out . Looking for South Naperville/Plainfield/Oswego areas

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kirsten. I am 32 years old with 15+ years of childcare experience. I am currently seeking a live-in nanny position. I have a master's degree in social work and have been employed in the mental health field since 2018, where I've had the pleasure of working with youth as both a play therapist and a crisis counselor (my current role).

While I love the work that I do, I truly miss the joys of working with children in the more intimate and non-clinical setting that nannying offers. Prior to becoming a social worker, I had the opportunity to nanny for several amazing families with children ranging from ages 0-14.

My goal as a caregiver is to create an environment where children feel safe, loved, and comfortable being themselves. I enjoy doing arts & crafts, board games, imaginative play, and outdoor activities with the kids in my care. In my free time, I love to read and paint. I am more than happy to provide references and look forward to hearing from you!
