More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have 16 years of experience working with children. My first childcare position was as a nanny to an infant turned preschooler girl for 3 years. When she started preschool, I started college at Northern Illinois University. In college, I was a night time nanny to a 2 year old boy, and babysat for various children ages 0-12, while attending classes during the day. I received my bachelors degree in Elementary Education and went on to teach kindergarten for 2 years. I realized I preferred nannying, so I nannied for a wonderful family, 2 children, until 2020/lockdown prevented that, so I went back to teaching (3rd and 4th grade), which is what I have been doing for the last 3.5 years.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love working with kids. I like making connections and providing them with a nurturing presence while parents are away. A typical day for your child in my care would include lots of play, learning activities, time outside (weather permitting), music, and movement; along with regular care, such as meals, bottle feeding, diapering, baths, naps if needed. I am also available to transport kids to various activities, like swimming lessons, gymnastics, story time, etc. Additionally, I can help with light cleaning for the household.
The most important part about being a nanny...
Being tender, gentle, caring, and fun!
My experience with special needs children...
I cared for an infant-age 2 boy with Down syndrome. I also cared for a 3-4 year old boy with cerebral palsy.
The most important part about being a nanny...
When the first little girl I nannied for called me her best friend!

Full-Time Nanny Available in Plainfield, IL: Payton M.
Hello there! I am a graduate student getting my master’s in elementary education! I am currently a substitute teacher and I am looking for a summer job. I love working with children and have experience caring for multiple children. I have worked with all ages! Children have a unique outlook on life and their innocence and joy is something many adults need more of in their lives. I studied environmental science at Loyola, and although I do not have a degree in childhood education, I believe in learning in nature and through the world around us. I think of children as my equal, not my subordinate. I think fun and playtime are very important for children and can be educational and fun. I am willing to do light housework, cook, carpool, and take the children on exciting outings. Not only is nannying a job, but it is an exciting part of my day and something I look forward to. I would love to meet you and talk more about my skills and how they align with your family's needs!
