More About Me

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

I have worked in various childcare and education settings including, Mother's helper, Nanny, Babysitter, Daycare teacher and Special Ed Parapro in self-contained classroom and in a integrated classroom.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love creating engaging, fun, and educational experiences for the children in my care. Whether it's a trip to the park, nature walks, or simple backyard play, I encourage fresh air and movement with games like tag, scavenger hunts, and obstacle courses. I enjoy encouraging creativity w/ painting, coloring, DIY crafts, and seasonal projects that allow kids to express themselves. I love sharing stories with children and exploring their favorite books. I incorporate interactive learning through puzzles, flashcards, and simple science experiments to spark curiosity. Singing songs, listening to music, and dancing around are great ways to add joy and energy to the day! Preparing simple, kid-friendly recipes together teaches valuable skills while making delicious treats. Whether it's LEGO, blocks, or STEM-focused experiments, encourage problem-solving and creativity.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. A great nanny is more than just a caregiver—they become a trusted guide, role model, and source of comfort for the child.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children with special needs including neurodivergent, physically impaired and children with behavioral and /or emotional needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is when a child recalls an activity have done together or place, we visited together and want to do it or go again.

Kelly S. - Seeking Work in Oak Forest

Full-Time Nanny Available in Oak Forest, IL: Kelly S.

Hello! Growing up i’ve always dreamed of being a mom and taking care of kids. I never had any younger siblings growing up so i’ve always naturally just wanted to be around kids. I started off taking a child care class in high school where we created mini lessons to help the kids advance with english, writing, math, using their fine and gross motor skills. I enjoy being with kids because nothing is better and more rewarding than watching a child learn and be so excited when they understand what’s going on around them. I feel like the most important time in someone life is their childhood and knowing that i can make the best impact and give them the best care possible gives me comfort. I look forward any opportunities in the future!
