The most important part about being a nanny...
Patience – kids need time, space, and gentle guidance.
• Safety – always making sure children are protected and cared for.
• Reliability – families count on you to be consistent and dependable.
• Engagement – not just “watching,” but playing, teaching, and interacting.
• Flexibility – rolling with the unexpected (because kids are unpredictable!).
• Communication – keeping parents updated and working as a team.
• Nurturing – showing genuine care, compassion, and kindness.

My experience with special needs children...
I’ve also had the rewarding experience of working with autistic children, which taught me how much patience, understanding, and creativity go into supporting kids with unique needs. I value creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where children feel cared for, and I bring that same nurturing energy into every family I support.

Live-In Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Aurora, IL: Kirsten R.
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!
