Additional comments Dear neighbor, many years ago, I briefly cared for my own grandmother in her home (no pills/ meds at the time) before she was diagnosed with dementia and incontinence and put in a nursing home. And in recent years briefly did the same for my best guy friends 90 yrs.old adoptive veteran grandfather, (he was wheelchair bound most of the time) I had helped with almost everything; cooking, cleaning, driving him places, bathing, dressing including wound care/ dressing and pills/ meds including injecting insulin. My best guy friend's father had trained me himself because he was retired and had already done this work for many years before for their family friend. I have also done child care for a year for a single parent family with multiple children (7), from infant to teenager, was quite a challenge. I don't smoke, i live in Joliet, have a pleasant personality and am easygoing and fun to be around! I totally understand if you want to meet me in person first before making any decisions. can't wait to hear from you! Thanks for your time and consideration. All the best!

Jessica M. - Seeking Work in Joliet

Full-Time Babysitter Available in Joliet, IL: Jessica M.

Hello! My name is Jessica. I am 25 years old & currently a therapist for autistic children. I took on this position and realized nannying is where my heart is. I used to be a full time nanny to an infant, toddler now! I was also a dual language nanny & spoke to the child in polish per families request. Unfortunately, the family I was nannying for relocated to Miami (& of course would love to recommend me) so I took on the RBT position. I am looking for a full time position. After graduating college I became a daycare teacher and have years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I taught a class of 15 children. I traveled with my past nanny family to different states for work as needed so I'm definitely flexible on hours etc.! I have an exceptional ability to create special connections with children. I am looking at becoming an integral role in another child's life while creating and experiencing their milestones.

Emily K. - Seeking Work in Joliet

Emily, a Nanny for Hire in Joliet, IL 60431

Through out the years I would like to say I have become extremely knowledgeable when it comes to children. I began babysitting when I was about 13 and took a babysitting class at the local park district. Throughout middle school and high school I babysat for a few families regularly and have had experience with children of all ages. I have also helped my sister out tremendously with her two children since they were both infants. Children love to have fun and I strongly believe in incorporating fun in with daily learning activities. I am a mother of who is now a two-year-old little girl and she teaches me new things daily. She has changed my life so much and has made it that much more worth living! There is no feeling better than knowing you have made a difference in a child’s life.
