Hi - My name is Nancy and I've been working with kids since I was 19 and love it. I started by helping my aunt, she used to babysit from home and I really enjoyed helping her. I have two big boys now, one of 19 years old and the other one of 14 years old. Over the last few years, I've worked on babysitting for date nights and on my days off. Primarily with infants and toddlers, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, I like to play with them, reading, singing, and for older kids I like to do some crafting too.

Caring and reliable childcare provider with over 2 years of experience supporting children across different ages and personalities. I create a warm, structured environment where kids feel safe, engaged, and excited to learn. With a background in teaching and activity planning, I love organizing creative play, outdoor time, and educational moments that support each child’s development. I’m patient, proactive, and attentive to routines, safety, and emotional well-being—making sure both children and parents feel confident and at ease.

10+ years of childcare experience in daycare and early learning settings. Patient, reliable, and nurturing caregiver skilled in routines, potty training, educational activities, and creating a safe, fun environment. Comfortable with infants through school-age children. I value communication, consistency, and helping children feel comfortable and supported.

I am a recent college graduate with my most recent experience being with children ages 2-3. I have always loved working with children and find myself being able to connect with children of all ages very quickly. I am reliable, organized, and very patient. I attended Purdue University and majored in elementary education. I student taught 7 out of 8 semesters, working with students in grades Kindergarten-5th grade!

Hello! My name is Taryn, I’m 20 and I am very passionate about working with children (and I love pets!). I currently attend the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and I’m hoping to find a family that is looking for a nanny/frequent sitter. I’m currently in Knoxville TN, but will be in Darien IL during the summer and other breaks. I’m a sophomore and I’m studying to become a pediatric occupational therapist. I have a deep understanding of child development and the importance of fostering a positive and nurturing environment for children. I am committed to providing high-quality care that promotes growth, development, and learning for all the children I work with. I also have a younger brother who has autism and intermittent explosive disorder. I have spent countless hours working with him, learning about his needs and how to provide the best possible care for him. I have developed the patience, empathy, and the skills that are necessary to provide excellent care for children with a wide range of unique needs. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, and I worked at an after school daycare program at the Lagrange Highlands Elementary/Middle school with kindergarten-Middle schoolers for a year, before going to college. This past summer I was a full-time nanny for an 11 year old girl with some special needs, where I would drive her to her activities, ride bikes, swim, paint, bake desserts, make slime, and do other fun actives with. I also made her meals, walked their two dogs, and did various chores/maintenance cleaning each day. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about leaving your children with a nanny/sitter, and I am more than happy to stop by to meet you and your kiddos before being hired. Thank you for considering me as your nanny. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family!
