"Kristina Nannied for my twin girls. She took care of them from newborn till 2 years old. She is very hands on. She taught my girls their numbers , letters , alphabet and colors. She was like family to us. She kept my house very neat and clean. She took my children on outings like the pool, library, park district classes and walks in the neighborhood. She was such a blessing to our family.."

"Kristina is energetic (always outside with the kids and/or actively playing or teaching them things), responsible and very caring. She treated my two sons (Jake who was 3 and is now 12 years old and Andrew who was 5 and is now 15 years old) like her own. Time and time again she went above and beyond to ensure their safety, learning and happiness. One of my sons is allergic to peanuts, pollen, and cats, and so she quickly became knowledgeable about how to keep him safe, how to use an epi pen and to learn the symptoms of a reaction. She did have to call me twice when she noticed redness or hives. Both times were luckily mild reactions and she administered Benadryl and watched him closely, constantly keeping me informed. This put me at ease that she could handle any situation. All in all - I would recommend Kristina to anyone looking to hire a sweet, considerate, responsible and compassionate caregiver in whatever capacity you needed her. She will shine in anything you ask her to do!"

Babysitter Available in Joliet, IL: Juniper H.
Hello,
I have been working in childcare and education for over a decade. I believe that compassionate, attuned caregiving is essential for kids to create healthy, secure attachments, which is one of the most important things they need in order to thrive. I also believe that play is important and am especially passionate about play-based and self-directed learning. However, if you're attached to more traditional schooling, I can offer homework help and tutoring of all sorts. I love getting on the floor and playing, spending time outside (especially in the woods), networking with other families and community, and going on adventures (whether it's a day trip to the beach, going to the library, hiking, museums, scavenger hunts, you name it!). I'm all about meeting kids where they're at, attuning to their needs as a whole person with unique interests, sensitivities, passions, and quirks. I have experience with kids from ages 0-teenage and am willing to do light housework.
