Find nannies in Waterloo, IL

If you need tutoring, special education support, or behavior support — let me help! If you need a calm adult who can support the entire family, from behavior plans, to deescalating arguments with children, transitions, and general emotional support- I'm here! I have a Bachelor's degree in Special Education and hold a Special Education K-12 license, with over 10 years of experience working with children and young adults from 6 weeks to 21 years old. I started working with children in high school through early childhood education classes and built my career from there — working in Montessori and Waldorf school settings, as a Special Education teacher, and most recently as a behavior specialist working across school, family, and clinical settings with children, teens, and adults. Working with children is my passion, and I have a particular love for supporting kids who are navigating behavior challenges. I've worked extensively with ADHD, ASD, SPD, and a wide range of cognitive and learning differences. I believe deeply in positive behavior supports and lead with social-emotional learning in everything I do — helping kids not just manage their behavior, but actually understand themselves better. I also bring over 13 years of experience supporting families directly in their homes, so I understand the full picture — not just the child, but the whole family system. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I'm happy to connect you with references right away!

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.

I’m here to make things easier for both kids and parents!

Hi, I'm Caroline and I am 23 years old! I am originally from the Chicago suburbs, but I graduated from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor's Degree in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences in 2024. I will be staying in St. Louis for the next couple years to pursue my Master's in Speech Language Pathology at SLU! I have been babysitting for almost 10 years and I have experience working with ages 6 months to 14. I have experience working with individuals with special needs both through babysitting and in my graduate program. I have nannied for the same family for the past few summers back in Chicago and am looking to continue babysitting in St. Louis! Some activities that I have done in the past include arts and crafts, games, outdoor activities, cooking, baking, and help with homework. I can also speak Spanish conversationally and I have a car to drive children to different activities, appointments, etc. I love interacting with children and can't wait to meet you and your family!

I come from a big family in the US so I've spent a lot of time around my nieces and nephews helping to wrangle, watch, and love on them. I have a naturally calm and playful spirit, I pick up on the energy and mood of the child and also adults so I can adjust to their needs. I'm strong and active so I can handle a lot and I value effective communication so we can understand one another and make sure we'll all on the same page. I love entertaining kids with various activities--mind, body, and spirit!
