Full-Time Nanny Available in Joliet, IL: Emma A.

Hi! I’m Emma. I’m 23 years old and have always enjoyed spending time with kids. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where they can play, learn, and just be themselves.

Juniper H. - Seeking Work in Joliet

Babysitter Available in Joliet, IL: Juniper H.

Hello,
I have been working in childcare and education for over a decade. I believe that compassionate, attuned caregiving is essential for kids to create healthy, secure attachments, which is one of the most important things they need in order to thrive. I also believe that play is important and am especially passionate about play-based and self-directed learning. However, if you're attached to more traditional schooling, I can offer homework help and tutoring of all sorts. I love getting on the floor and playing, spending time outside (especially in the woods), networking with other families and community, and going on adventures (whether it's a day trip to the beach, going to the library, hiking, museums, scavenger hunts, you name it!). I'm all about meeting kids where they're at, attuning to their needs as a whole person with unique interests, sensitivities, passions, and quirks. I have experience with kids from ages 0-teenage and am willing to do light housework.
