A little bit about me

Hi there!
I’m Tammy, soon to be an empty nester and looking for a little extra work to keep me busy.
I’m always taking take care of someone, whether it’s a baby, to an adult. I e always been a nurturing person who puts others needs before myself.
Started at the age of 10 babysitting my cousins, eventually it led to watching other kids and I knew that’s what I wanted to do. Help others. I still do!
While raising my first daughter, I wound up opening up my own daycare. There I helped raise 6 children who are now grown adults with children of their own. I would not have changed a single thing about my decision to open my daycare up.
I also had my own housecleaning business, so both parties combined just motivated me to continue helping others. We need more kindness in this world.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being empathetic. Listening to the child, listen to the parents. Finding a common balance so their child can grow.
Being attentive, and understanding. Even at a young age, children absorb more than us adults realize. Always need to be quick on your toes too!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Getting a hug! How can you say no to receiving a hug from a child? You just can’t! Melts your heart and my problems are no longer there.
I love interacting with kids. Their innocence is pure and the joy on their faces as they experience new things. Oh such a good feeling!

Grace T. - Seeking Work in Champaign

Live-In Part-Time Nanny Available in Champaign, IL: Grace T.

my name is Grace , and I wanted to share a little about myself. I’ve had a lot of experience working with kids through different opportunities. In my child development class, I got to spend time with preschoolers and learn more about helping and connecting with children. I also worked with the YMCA’s Y on the Fly program, where we worked with kids ages 9–12 in different communities. We planned activities, served lunch, and took them swimming, which was really fun and taught me a lot.I’ve also worked as a lifeguard, so I learned responsibility and how to stay calm in different situations. On top of that, I help take care of my siblings, which has helped me become really patient and good with child care overall. I enjoy working with kids and being someone they can look up to and feel comfortable around.
