I have been babysitting/nannying since I was 12 years old. I babysat my neighbor's 2 children when they were 3 months-13 years of age. I also babysat my aunt's 2 children along side with them so I am more than capable of taking care of more than 2 children! In my recent position, I have been a nanny for 5 years in which unfortunately has to come to an end due to her going to full time kindergarten. She was 3 months when I started. I am a very positive, outgoing person who loves to be outside whenever possible. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, taking children to museums, zoo, library, parks, and other activities that seem fit for them. I am comfortable taking care of all sorts of pets as well. Looking for a long term position to start a new chapter with a loving family!

We were lucky enough to have Linnea as our nanny for 5+ years. She took care of our daughter since she was only 3 months old and helped raise her through all the major milestones. She was always on top of all her responsibilities as well as taking the initiative to seek out development activities, crafts, and fun outings. Linnea is a reliable, caring, and compassionate person and I'd recommend her to any family.

My name is Stephanie. I am 34 years old and have over 10 + years of experience working with infants and small children. In high school I took Child Development/ Childcare classes and also went to Wilco which is an educational facility in which I took the Preschool Program. I also worked for 3 different families who were so great. In my most recent nanny position I took care of an 8 wk. old boy and a 2 yr. old girl. Before that I took care of a 1-year-old little girl and then before that I took care of 2 boys ages 6 mo. and 6 yrs. I always made sure they had fun and learned through play. I love doing arts and crafts, pretend play, playing outside, etc. For infants I will make sure they are doing age appropriate activities to make sure they meet every milestone in their development. I will treat your child/children as if they were my own and I am very reliable. If you are looking for a fun reliable compassionate person to watch your child/children please message me.

Stephanie was amazing! We were so grateful to have her. She was so attentive to our 2yo girl and infant boy. She spent 100% of her time completely focused and interacting with our children without any distractions. Always followed my requests and ensured they were happy and well cared for. She read to them, sang songs, taught them games, did puzzles and played make believe. Engaged in all age appropriate learning activities and had the patience of a saint. We would definitely rehire her in the future if our needs change.

I have an 8-year-old sister, and she makes me love kids even more. I like to do arts and crafts, singing and dancing, making fun meals, and always having a good time! I also like pets, and I will do any housework that needs to be done!

Hi, I'm Sam And Love Taking Care Of Kids!

(6)
Hello, I'm Sam! I am 24 and will be moving back to Illinois from San Diego on May 7th! I was born and raised in Illinois and have lived in Plainfield for 22 years. I was in San Diego for a year while my husband was finishing his career as a Marine. I am looking for something short term, probably up to 6 months or something for the summer. I am the third child of three and I come from a very close and loving family. My family took care of foster children for 16 years. I am experienced in taking care of newborns-preteens. We have had children in our home who have had learning disabilities and some children who have had emotional and behavioral issues. We have had 3 foster children in our home at once before. My parents are both retired teachers so I know how to have the best interest of the kids in mind. I am a very positive and outgoing person and love to have fun! I am also fully vaccinated! I hope I can help and to hear from you soon!

Sam is AMAZING! She has been nannying for our daughter full-time for the past 9 months (since our daughter was 6 months old). Our daughter adores her and runs over to greet her every morning and we adore her too. She is always on time, friendly, and has great integrity. You can tell she truly loves spending time with children and laughs and plays with our daughter non-stop. Additionally, she is so easy to be around we are so sad she is moving. If you're ever in need of a nanny or sitter hire her immediately before someone else does!

I would consider myself a very experienced nanny and babysitter. I have 7 years of experience. I enjoy what I do and I have loved every family and child I worked with. The different ages I have worked with are newborns, infants, toddlers, preschool and kindergarten, over the years. I have countless learning experiences and I have become very comfortable in this work field. To me it has become less of a job and more of a passion. I honestly love what I do; there is nothing better than seeing a child learn and grow in their own individual way. On top of having my own two boys it makes it more joyfully to do my work and better understanding of other parents .

I've also watched more than one child at a time. I love Disney, games, singing, dancing and being with family. I spent the last 5 years working in a daycare.. from 2013-9/2019 & although I loved what I did there, it's time for a change in pace. I am CPR & First Aid certified & have my own transportation. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you! At this time, I will be staying home to do remote learning with my two school aged children.
