I have been a child care provider in my home in excess of 16 years. I have an associate's degree in Child Care and Development and have worked both in child care centers in addition to being a provider in my home. I have two children, ages 16 and 14. I am currently working with the children that I care for teaching them some basic sign language that I have learned to help with their communication development. One thing that I take pride in providing is the use of a child care app called Brightwheel so that you can stay tuned in to what your child is doing while they are in my care. Some of the information included on this app are diaper changes, foods, drinks and naps. We love to go for walks around the block, a drive to the library, trips to the nearby neighborhood park, water play on hot days and lots of fun age appropriate activities! As your care provider, I want to work in conjunction with you to help your child along in their development in any way that I can. I am hoping to form a long term relationship with your family. I do appreciate a family that is flexible should I need to run my children to a school activity before or after school, allowing their child to join us in the car. (I can give you advance notice to these outings most of the time) We are a non-smoking family with a friendly dog named Maddie (a Beagle that keeps to herself most of the day and is great with the children), and I would love to hear from you! PLEASE NOTE: My current availability is for a part time or potentially full-time spot for either an infant or a young toddler starting after May 1st. I am open to taking on a full-time child between the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 or 4:45 p.m. with some flexibility in the exact times. These hours allow me to be available for my own children's extra curricular activities. Thank you for taking the time out to read more about me, I look forward to hearing from you if my availability suits your needs!

Hello! My name is Pam and I would love to meet your part-time (recurring) or occasional back-up child-care needs in my Plainfield home on any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday! Most in-home child-care providers will accept only full-time, M-F children, but I am unique, and I specialize in PART-time care. At only $5 - $10 per hour (per child), you will find my rates extremely competitive. For multiple children and meal arrangements, my overall pricing is negotiable. As a long-time married Mom of two girls (16 & 21), and with 15 years of child care experience, I have created a clean, bright, happy, baby-proof / child-friendly environment for the kids to learn and grow in. I am fondly called "Miss Pam" and have lots of TLC and one-on-one time to offer your little ones! I have a high sense of integrity and am very easy-going and reliable with a clear background check. Most of my 'children' are long-term and have stayed with me for several years. It's fun watching them grow and learn and develop! I've cared for infants, twins, toddlers, and older children over the years. My 'parents' (references) would be pleased to vouch for my integrity and give you their thoughts on my style and the quality of care I've provided for their children. Please see my numerous referrals within my Care.com profile My home is a *non-crowded*, safe, spacious environment for the kids to play in with lots of activities to keep them busy. On nice days, we enjoy the back yard and large play-area outside. Other times, we read books, play with play-doh, do puzzles, color, listen to music, or work on our ABC and learning crafts etc. I have quiet rooms for napping and am happy to maintain any schedule that you prefer. Having worked full-time for many years, I understand the struggle and constant balancing act that a working parent faces. Nothing is more important than finding the right person to provide quality care for your children. I am happy to be that 'right person' who will treat them with kindness and love, and provide good structure and an enjoyable, stimulating environment where they can interact, play and grow. If you'd like to get acquainted and put a face with a name, or come by for a visit and check out my home, etc., please feel free to contact me via text or phone at 815-258-5858 or through Care.com. I would love to meet you and your family!

Each activity will be geared towards your child's individual needs and interests. Delaney Tot Spot will provide nutritious meals and snacks for all children. The children will have plenty of outdoor play time in our backyard play set. We will incorporate fun and educational field trips as well!

Woodland Adventures School is a In-Home Daycare that provides the best childcare for your little adventurers. Providing a natural space for children to run, explore, jump, and most importantly to play. I tell all the parents to think of their favorite childhood memory; most would say that it was a wonderful memory that took place outdoors! My favorite childhood memory is taking woodland hikes with my parents. We would go off the path every hike, and I remember feeling this overwhelming excitement that we're about to go on a new adventure today. I want to share that feeling with my little adventurers with every session. We have our "Home Base" in Aurora, 50 miles west of Chicago. We spend most of our days at Home Base, but we do take daily adventures! We have a wonderful studio for the children to create and play through appealing setup craft stations. Our playroom studio is setup in a Montessori and Reggio approach. We are currently set to open in March, but we are enrolling now! We will keep everyone updated on the progress of our studio, you can follow our social media for updates as well! We are open Monday - Friday 7am-5pm Ages 2-5 years of age classroom

My name is Katie! I reside in Plainfield near Caton Farm and Route 59. I have been working with young children since I was for almost 10 years now. I started with babysitting here an there, then worked my way up to nannying and working with children of all ages everyday of the week. I did that until I started working retail to get some more experience. After going to college and switching my major numerous times, I realized I am chasing something that I won't be happy with. All the majors I tried pursuing did deal with children and/or families. One being an ob/gyn ultrasound tech, another being a nurse in a pediatric office. Well, I am truly happy when I am surrounded by kids and their innocence, all while teaching their pure minds. I am truly happiest when I am working hands on with children and doing that consistently, not just part of the time and the rest of the time doing paperwork. That is why I have decided to open up my own daycare, that I am excited to take very long term:) This is my passion so it will not seem like a job for me, which I am most excited for because that has been what has made me unhappy with my other jobs over the years. I dreaded going to work everyday because it felt too much like a job and a job I didn't really want to do. My philosophy is I lead by example and am a pure believer in letting children learn by experience with some guidance. From my own experience, children thrive best in that environment. They learn from doing things themselves and figuring out what works and what doesn't. Obviously they cant do that all on their own so that is where the supervision and guidance comes into play! I am big into making children feel comfortable so I can assure we will develop a family like bond and they will not want to leave Miss Katies house;) I will treat them as one of their own. They will have equal amounts of fun with playing just like children should but also have that learning time and structure that should always be implemented. I am one that loves being organized so there will definitely be a routine that the kids will fall into. I also provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks. They will have all the necessities, everything imaginable from outdoor things to indoor toys and I keep collecting more! My hours are M-F 7-5. You will not feel like you are dropping your kids off at a typical daycare. I look forward to speaking and gaining more family!

When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Oswego, IL, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Oswego, IL may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit.
