A little bit about me

Hi!

The kids I take care of call me Miss Brenda, this came from my time as a preschool teacher, before becoming a nanny which i have been doing for over 18 years now. I have experience with preemies, twins(2 sets) children ages 6 weeks up to the age of 14 years old. As a nanny I have been responsible for the daily care of multiple children, duties including...meals, formula and breastfed babies, diaper changing, baths, medications, potty training, doctor visits, trips to and from school, crafts, groceries for the household, dishes, children's laundry and much more.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and my four dogs. I love antiques, gardening, old cars and movies.
I find being a nanny both rewarding and challenging each day.
I have references upon request and a letter of recommendation also.
Please feel free to reach out.
The schedule, hours and beginning date can vary. Also will run a background on request.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I was a preschool teacher at the Belvidere Park for 2 years. I also taught a 2 year old class called creative learning for almost 2 years. And worked a program called mom and dad date night at the park district. I taught an after school program called Mad Science for a year and a half. I also worked as a elementary noon-aide for 2 and a half years.

I can provide you with three references from families I have worked for and also a letter of recommendation from a family.

I do not smoke, I have a reliable vehicle and a safe driving record.

As a teenager I was enrolled in a preschool assisted program and helped in teaching preschoolers for one of my high school credits.

I also babysat as a teenager from the time I was 13 years old and continued to do so until the time I was 18 years old.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Going to the park, going to the library, going to the zoo, making crafts, going for walks, doing themes for the day, coloring, painting, stickers, reading, scavenger hunts, playing games, baking, play-doh, bubbles, making forts, Legos, puzzles. Making special lunches. Playing sports, making gifts for parents, making holiday crafts, having movie day and pajama day. Anything kids! 😊 To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world. -Dr. Seuss

The most important part about being a nanny...

Knowing that the kids are safe and having fun. And knowing that you are making a difference in their everyday lives. Being a nanny has always been a rewarding career for me, I couldn't have picked a more rewarding career other than being a full-time teacher but this has given me an opportunity to meet many different families and become a close part of their lives.

My experience with special needs children...

When I was in high school I took a child education course and I had the opportunity to do the semester at the special needs school for the semester it was the most rewarding time. I also took care of our neighbor girl that had down syndrome before and after school for 2 years during the school year ( when our children were in 3rd and 4th grade).

The most important part about being a nanny...

Getting a frame for xmas with a picture of myself with rhe kids I was taking care of and the frame said "best nanny ever." During Kindergarten a few years ago the young boy that I had taken care of during Co-vid and had taught him all of his preschool and Kindergarten skills was moved from Kindergarten reading to first grade reading that made me feel very proud that his parents and I had worked hard to get him ready for school.
