More About Me

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

I worked as a Primary Care Giver. In this role I attended to the cognitive, social/emotional, health, and physical care of children ages 24-36 months. I communicated effectively with parents daily regarding child’s development, behavior, and activities. In addition, I demonstrated knowledge and competency of child development, and generated and executed lesson plans.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children are crafts I discover on Pinterest, cooking/baking together, playing board games, puzzles, coloring, reading, etc. I think physical activity is also very important so I enjoy taking walks or trips to the park for play time.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think the most important part about being a nanny is the child's well being. It's a privilege to be an essential part in the child's/family's life. Watching a child grow both mentally, and physically is a wonderful feeling.

My experience with special needs children...

I interned at a day care/learning center that specialized in children with autism or related special needs. While interning I created curriculum for the children, and cared for their well being which included changing diapers, feeding, and cleaning. I also was in charge of Marketing the center via Social Media.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment would have to be a trip to the beach while I was nannying in the city (Chicago). The children had such a fun time playing in the sand and in the water.

Kirsten R. - Seeking Work in Aurora

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!
Mt W. - Seeking Work in Aurora

Live-In Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Aurora, IL: Mt W.

Hello! I have been working with the same family since the baby was born, he is now 4 years old! I have a large family myself, and grew up taking care of my siblings a lot! I lived with my nephew when he was first born until he was a little over one, just to help my sister out! I’ve done various small babysitting jobs since I was 13, but once it became a consistent thing, I started taking CPR knowledge and First Aid training serious. The family I’ve worked for for the last 4 years decided to put their child in school, so they no longer needed my services, unless it was occasional date nights:). I look forward to finding a new family to grow in!

Kim A. - Seeking Work in Aurora

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Aurora, IL: Kim A.

Starting my search for the fall💗💗💗💗

Hi ! My name is Kim and I am 39 years old. My passion in life is truly working with children. I am an experienced child care provider. I worked in a child care setting for 8 years and as a nanny for over 8 years. I have worked with children from newborn to school aged children. I have gone through special training while working in child care to gain more knowledge of young children. I was also CDA certified. At the moment that has laps, i am looking to take it over over again. I am also CPR certified and AED certified. I am a fun-loving, warmhearted person who loves kids.

Part of my past positions consisted of taking the children to sports, light cleaning, cooking, homework, arts and crafts, field trips, among other things that would come up. I feel with the time I have spent working with children, there is not much that I don' t know how to handle when it comes to children.

What I am seeking is a full time / part time.

I don't want to take up to much of your time. I am going to let you know up front that I a one year old daughter that I would have to bring with. I promise you won’t be disappointed. You would love Savannah and I. You will love us just as much as we would love. I have excellent reference.

Thank you Kim A💗💗💗💗
