Marci 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Matteson, IL

Hi, I'm Marci! I bring nurture, patience, reliability, and a fun-loving demeanor. I enjoy going for walks, organizational projects, spending time with family, and exploring the city. I welcome collaboration, open communication, and friendly demeanors of all. I nanny part-time during the day. I help foster environments and routines for children and families. My favorite part of the job is building connections with the children. I've cared for children from infant to preteen, however my care of focus has centered around children age 2 and younger. My experience is in elementary education, tutoring/homework help, private care, and live-out nanny. I create and foster consistent routines of learning and development through age-appropriate activities. Parents choose me as I’m direct in approach, proactive in planning, and prepared to jump in for a smooth transition for everyone. Children thrive in my care because I am attentive, patient, consistent, and use firm, but gentle boundaries. Safety is my focus. Spaces used are maintained. References available at request.

“Marci helped us out when we needed childcare last minute. We traveled into town and both myself and my husband needed to work which is tough with a highly active jet lagged baby. Marci was lovely she even had a few of her own things to amuse our son. She was great about communication and safety. I would 100% book her again. ”

Booked by 1 family in Matteson, IL

I am a prek sped teacher and willing to work with special needs children or many at once but price may increase for multiples not special needs special prices. However, I want to have clear expectations. I am ell certified and almost a learning behavior specialist. I love art outdoors science and sports! I love to teach through hands on methods and do not raise my voice to children unless an emergency. If this happens, I’ll explain why to the child and tell you. I’m comfortable with many little ones. Thanks!

I’m patient, kind, and easy going. I’d gladly uphold any parenting guidelines or dietary guidance/restrictions that are preferred. I’m also happy to cook simple/healthy meals. Happy to help with homework when necessary.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
