I am DCFS licensed and a CPR/First Aid certified child care home. Does your child deserve the love and attention I can give? After having my own children in home day care and never feeling completely comfortable, I opened my home to families as a day care provider. I am an extension of your family. My house is a second home to your child. Your child will eventually feel as comfortable in my home as he is in yours. As a DFCS licensed home you can expect a completely safe, secure and monitored environment for your child. DCFS makes unannounced visits several times a year. They check everything! Not just the obvious outlet covers. They check my well water, inside toys, all my play equipment, even for dips in the yard a child could trip on. I believe you should never put your child in a home that is not licensed. I am continually educating myself in child development, special needs and nutrition. Now down to what's really important. I am a wife (19 happy years) and a mother of two. My home is located at the end of a dead end street, with a fenced in one acre yard, blocks from Anderson School. My favorite thing to do is see my day care family's children smile when they learn new things that they are capable of doing. There is no joy greater than seeing a child accomplish new things. I teach ABC's, numbers, shapes, colors, and always have a science project going. We keep busy with games, crafts, art, and hands on discovery. My daycare children do not want to go home at the end of the day. I love what I do.

871 High Street Elgin, IL

My name is Kathryn Miller and an experienced babysitter/nanny and mother. I am looking for a stable, long-term nanny position with a child near the age of my own (born early March, 2017). I would also be amenable to care in my home for a lower rate. I am also happy to take a part-time position if hours and compensation are adequate for my own budget. I strongly believe based on both my education and mother's intuition that babies and young toddlers benefit from a more home-like setting with more cuddles and a less rigid schedule. I do believe in encouraging an age-appropriate measure of independent play, but I also believe that, if possible, it's better to pick up a baby before they become too upset. In my care, babies receive frequent diaper changes, age appropriate exercise, sensory play, time outside when weather allows, music time, book time, silly baby games, cuddling, and Spanish time. I also take care of oral hygiene if with them a full day, and I make sure they get the rest they need. I can give baths once in a while if you're busy (or after a diaper explosion). I also keep a record of your child's day so you know how their day went. If care is in my home: Field Trips to the Gail Borden library are taken regularly year round. Field trips that require an extra measure of safety are taken when I have assistance from my husband or mother (a registered nurse). Examples would be: the swimming pool, nature centers, and seasonal outings. (I take care of expenses.) If care is in your home, I'm happy to go to your local library/pool, with parents responsible for any extra expenses. Additional information regarding myself: *I hold a Bachelor's Degree from Elmhurst College with a focus on Education. *I am CPR &amp; First Aid Certified: adults and children. *Three years experience as a live-out nanny for child from age 1-4 (Reference information provided to serious inquirers). *Non-smoking. *Experience as a teacher's aide, ages 3-18, in school settings in the USA and Ecuador. Experience with younger children/babies in church nursery. *Fluent in the Spanish language via schooling in the United States, and Ecuador service trips with Habitat for Humanity through my church, and a semester abroad through the International Service Learning Program. *I've taken coursework in nutrition as a part of my education curriculum. Foods are always fresh and healthy-sugary treats are reserved for special occasions only.

Miss Mindy's Daycare has 2 immediate spots available. If you are looking for an educational, fun, loving environment for your child/children you have found the right place. Miss Mindy's Daycare is my in-home daycare ran by me Mindy Swanson. I am an early childhood educator with 10+ years of experience. I have experience teaching and caring for children ages birth to 5+ years old. Children have always been a major part of my life. As a teen my main job was babysitting and couldn't wait for the day I'd have my own children. I got married and was a stay at home mom for our 2 children until my youngest started Kindergarten. It was after helping in their classrooms that I realized I was meant to be an early childhood teacher and went back to school and got my degree. I taught at King of Glory Lutheran Preschool were both my children had attended, for 7 years, then worked for The Learning Tree in Elgin as a lead Pre-K teacher for 3 years. A few years ago I felt I was called to teach and care for children out of my home. It has been wonderful watching the children I care for grow and flourish. One of the best things about my business is the lifelong relationships I have made with the families I have cared for. My family loves having the children in our home, they bring us great joy. My husband Jeff and I have two children who aren't so little anymore. My son is 20 and attends Elgin Community College and my daughter is 17 and is a Senior in High School. Both will be going away to school in the fall. Having the children in our home has taught our kids about the growth and development of young children. It's awesome to watch our kids play and interact with the children. I look at it as practice for when they have their own families someday. The children I care for not only have fun while they are here but they are also learning. I teach using developmentally appropriate activities. I believe in hands-on activities where children can explore and be curious, coming up with their own questions about the theme we are learning about. We work on social and emotional skills, then as they get older we move onto colors, letters, numbers, and counting etc. Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack are provided daily. The children also have a napping schedule, 2-5-year-olds take a 2-hour nap in the afternoon and infants are as needed. Please contact me if you are looking for a fun and educational environment for your child/children.

Welcome to Mulberry Farm Daycare! We operate our daycare in my charming 120 yr old farm house. The daycare sits on a pretty 1.3 acre lot, where a canopy of tree's cover most of the yard. We are conveniently located next to La Fox train station, just west of the Millcreek Elementary School. We are also in close proximity to the Kaneland School District. My name is Shelley Ost and I run this small daycare from my home. I am a certified in home daycare provider and a 200 hr registered children's yoga teacher. I am British and I have been in the US for about sixteen years. Our daily schedule consists many things. We cover Kindergarten readiness preparation, such as practicing hand writing, using scissors, number/letter recognition etc. We also have unstructured play time which is essential for social and emotional development for school. We bake, paint, garden, dig in the mud, use the sand and water tables, and play many outside games so the children get a good amount of physical activity and fresh air. We gather the chicken eggs, look after the animals and have many teddy bear picnics. Arts and crafts are a favorite of the children and we love creating new things every day. We are a special little daycare. We have very small numbers of children here and we like to create a warm and nurturing atmosphere. The children become an extension of our family, and the families become our friends. We keep goats, chickens, ducks, two small dogs and a cat. The children help take care of the animals, and &quot;farm life&quot; is interwoven in to our daily schedule. Caring for the animals provides countless opportunities for the children to learn about life, nature, health etc. Being outside is very important to us, and we spend as much time out in nature as the weather allows. Due to a few of my daycare children starting preschool, I currently have two openings. These spots are available for children aged two and above. If you would like to schedule a tour, or talk to the parents of the children I watch, please let me know. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or if you are interested in taking one of these spots, they will go fast.

I am 46 yrs. old and a mother of 4 children ranging in ages from 6 to 26. I am also a Registered Nurse. Since my youngest is now in school full-time, I've decided to return to the workforce full-time. Before nursing school, I was a nanny for several years. The last few years I've babysat for friends part-time and as needed and I loved it! I really enjoy nursing but I love watching children more, so I've decided to open up a daycare in my home. I believe in lots of love, learning and fun. Our day would include circle time, songs, reading/learning time, free play, crafts, meals/snacks etc. Space is limited as I believe in lots of individual attention. Part-time, full-time and before and after school care is available for all ages. Meals provided. Excellent references available.
