Find nannies in Downers Grove, IL

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!

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of children. My calm and patient demeanor creates a serene environment for your little ones. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates and adhering to their preferred method of contact. While I'm comfortable enforcing household rules, my approach focuses on teaching and guiding rather than strict discipline. From outdoor adventures to educational games, I love engaging children in diverse activities that foster their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With my unwavering commitment to nurturing young minds, I'm excited to embark on this journey alongside you and your family.
