Find an after school nanny in Darien, IL

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am currently a sophomore at Miami University double majoring in psychology and piano performance. Not only do I have experience being a full-time nanny over the summer to two wonderful girls, I also have significant experience with babysitting children ages 0-16. These experiences have truly fostered my love for children and I am extremely passionate about creating a safe, stimulating, and of course fun environment for kids of all age ranges, genders, backgrounds, etc. I have a very lively, bubbly personality which allows me to connect with kids and keep up with them when it comes down to play time. I also pride myself in my patience and my ability to remain calm in stressful situations, especially when resolving conflict. I am CPR certified and first-aid trained which is a skill I have sharpened through my years of work as a lifeguard. Overall, I really love to be a safe space for kids to be their authentic self and aim to create a supportive and fun environment both for the kids and for the parents as well.

I am an empty nester and almost of Senior Citizen age. My 5 grown children are 31, 27, 24, 23, 20 and one grandchild 14. I have 10 plus years in healthcare experience that included office, hospital and call center. I love kids and pets and they seem to be put quickly at ease with me. I am rather structured but love to be creative and fun.

Hi! I’m Journie! 💕 I’m a college student, athlete, and future teacher who loves staying active and spending time with kids. I played basketball at Morton College and have wrestled since sixth grade, including competing in freestyle wrestling at Fargo and receiving a wrestling scholarship. Outside of sports, I love being outdoors, exploring nature, reading, and singing. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education because I hope to become a teacher one day. I’ve been working with children for almost three years as a kids counselor at my local park district. I spent two years with the Mavericks program, working with K–3rd graders, and this year I work with Trailblazers, working with 3rd–6th graders. I help supervise kids, organize activities, play sports like basketball and soccer, and even help run sports programs at the park district. I’m energetic, patient, responsible, and love creating a safe and fun environment where kids can be themselves!

I am a mother of four. They are all grown up now, but I’ve had a lifetime of caring for children and children have remained my passion. Outside of my own, I come from a large family, and I have cared for kids of friends’ as well. I’m looking to care for a couple of children from my home in Westchester. I’m understanding and knowledgeable of the growth and fundamental stages of children from infant through school age. I look forward to connecting with you and building a thriving relationship that focuses on the concern and wellbeing of your family.
