More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
My love for caring for children started early—as a big sister eight years older, I naturally stepped into a nurturing role. Babysitting from age 13 to 17 came easily, and by 22, I became a full-time stay-at-home mom. I also loved volunteering in the church nursery while raising my own little ones, deepening my passion for working with children in all stages of development.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love getting creative with crafts, diving into a good book, and sparking imagination through play—my granddaughter and I recently created an “art museum” for her toys! I also enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring nature and encouraging curiosity through hands-on learning.
The most important part about being a nanny...
If I were hiring a nanny, I’d say the most important thing is finding someone who truly cares—someone who’s present, patient, and intentional. Being a nanny is more than just watching children; it’s about creating a safe, loving environment where they can grow, feel secure, and be themselves. It also means taking the time to understand the why behind a child’s behavior and responding with empathy and positive solutions. Trust, consistency, and genuine connection are what make the biggest difference in a child’s life!
My experience with special needs children...
I have 15 years of hands-on experience with special needs, as my son has Down syndrome and is truly a joy. His growth and independence are a reflection of the dedication and love I’ve poured into raising him. My passion for research and advocacy has guided me every step of the way, and I’m proud of the capable, kind young man he’s becoming.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite nanny experiences was caring for a newborn baby girl. I cherished every moment—rocking her, comforting her, taking peaceful walks, and watching her grow and begin to smile. It was such a joy to be part of those early milestones and offer her gentle, loving care.

Full-Time Nanny Available in Oswego, IL: Linda A.
Hello my name is Linda and have been blessed with my 3 children. I’ve been happily married for 8 years to the most amazing man. Our three kids are in college and are wonderful human beings. I’ve loved children my whole life. If there was a baby in the room everyone knew I’d be heading in that direction. Although I love children my journey took me a different route which was financing. I worked in this field for 20+ years until I was diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s when my company let me go. After that heart break my husband said do what you love the best and that’s children. So I started back in childcare with a facility that unfortunately closed due to 9/11. They had to close since they were located on the aviation property for security purposes. After that I’ve worked with families that I’ve still stayed connected to my little loves. I cherish my moments with them and just love to teach, care and love my little loves.
