Miss Pam Of Plainfield - In-home Care's Photo

Miss Pam Of Plainfield - In-home Care

23229 W Leach Drive Plainfield, IL

8 mi

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!

My name is Jill Johnson and I'm extremely excited and grateful to hopefully work with you and your loved ones this year. My goal is to provide childcare for families of teachers or those with a schedule compatible with the school year. My passion for early childhood education began as a love for Social Work. I graduated from Southern Illinois University in 2006 with a Bachelors. Following that, I worked briefly at Aunt Martha's in Joliet, focusing on advocating for runaway youths. I put my career on hold once our family started growing. My husband, Jared, is a Firefighter/Paramedic with the city of Naperville, as well as a CPR instructor, and all around handy-guy. We have four children: Son, 12, and daughters, 10, 8, and 5, who will be in half day Kindergarten. When our youngest started preschool, we took a tour of the new facility and I just fell in love the creative vibes, the open spaces, the excitement and curiosity in the faces of the students. It hit me like that- I need to be part of this world, advocating and exploring with our youngest people. I attended JJC to complete my Early Childhood hours and further DCFS required online courses through Gateways. In addition, I became CPR/First Aid certified. My best training (aside from parenting my own kids) came from teaching my amazing preschoolers. Under the wing of my director, I gained a world of insight. I also relish in communicating with the student's families about progress and what works best for their child. The child, however, is the greatest teacher. I believe in individuality regarding intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development. Each child should always feel safe, comfortable, and trust their caregiver. I strive to see the child as they are and use what makes them them to navigate learning and growth. I see myself as someone always willing to communicate, the successes or concerns, so please know I am here for your family, approach me without hesitation. When your child(ren) is in my care, I take it to heart the same way as my own children. I am here to protect, nourish, create moments of joy, and instill a love of learning through play.

I provide full-time/part-time daycare in my home for infants and very young children (ages 6 weeks -2 years old). I have been providing daycare in my home for the past 12 years caring for children from infants to elementary school aged -including infant twins. I myself have a teenage daughter and son who have both babysat for family and friends. I did work at a public daycare center last year primarily in the infant room. I will take care of no more than 3 infants/children on any given day. I really enjoy taking care of babies and know that parents struggle with leaving their very young children in the care of others. I am here to work with you to make the transition to daycare as stress free and comfortable as possible. Your baby will be taken care of in an environment that is safe, secure, and happy. Feeding, diapering and napping schedules will be followed to your desires or I will work with you to figure one out. I have a room setup as a nursery in my home with many baby items. Please call to talk to me or set up an interview 630-254-6134. I am so excited to have a few babies to care for.

My name is Kyrstin and I currently hold a bachelor's degree in Physical Education for grades k-12. I just moved to Plainfield with my husband and my two boys, who are 4 and 2. I am certified in first aid and CPR for infants and adults and I also hold an in-home child care license through DCFS. I offer an educational and loving environment for all children. I am just getting my daycare started and currently have two full-time openings. Because I have my two children, I only plan on having 2 other children full-time and possibly 1 child part-time. I feel that keeping my daycare small is necessary to give all children plenty of one-on-one time and attention. If you feel my daycare could fit your needs, please don't hesitate to contact me!

I am a stay-at-home mom to a fantastic 5-year-old little boy. I have 5 years experience with multiple children, infancy through 7 years old. I am very fortunate to be working with such terrific families! I provide full, engaging, educational and sincere care, not TV care. From tummy and explore time up through early grade school years, I provide both fun and structure. Getting all of the children engaged in activities and tired and happy by end of the day is a bonus for us all! I keep you well informed of your child's activities with a daily take home sheet. These are your children. I don't want you to miss out on sharing their wonderful day! We have a very impressive and safe playroom set up for all ages, as well as endless outside activities, art projects for all ages and games, games and more games. We love the 'packaged' but really love to make up our own too! Age appropriate sport games, bounce house, obstacle courses (they help create!)- our days have plenty of movement time. We have daily workbook times and each child has time in the day for their 'own' time too. Show and tell days are clear favorites too! Story time is a huge part of our days and it is not uncommon to enjoy little 'skits' acting out what we have read. We have no shortage of engaging activities or imagination for everyone! Every day is different within that constant 'structure' of a day - and each day zips by faster than any of us can imagine! I am also able to provide local transportation, if needed, and have a perfect driving record that I would be happy to supply. I build relationships with your children. I'm not just a 'babysitter'. We all look forward to seeing one another and creating memories to take home and share with you. I will be happy to supply all of my references upon request -you won't be disappointed!
