Hi families! I'm Holly, a 26-year-old professional nanny with a degree in Early Childhood and Special Education from Lewis University. After graduating during the COVID era, I found my passion in nannying and decided to make it my career. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and years of hands-on experience caring for children, especially newborns to age 4. That said, I'm open to caring for older children as well! I especially love working with first-time parents and supporting little ones during their earliest stages (0-12 months). Watching them grow and hit milestones is something I genuinely cherish. I'm creative, organized, and love outdoor play and activities when the weather allows. I'm currently working full-time with a wonderful family and am now available for occasional date nights and weekend babysitting. If you're looking for someone nurturing, dependable, and experienced, I'd love to chat. Feel free to reach out anytime!
We have had the pleasure of working with Holly for a temporary nanny share position that will be ending 3/28/2025. We couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided for our two little ones. My child was 3 months old, and the other baby was 5 months when she started working for our families. Holly is truly wonderful with both babies and has a natural ability to care for them, engage with them, and keep them safe and happy. She brings a calm, nurturing energy to her role, and is willing to help with tasks around the house like folding baby laundry, washing bottles, disinfecting toys, and tidying the play areas. We appreciate how she tailors her care to suit both babies’ developmental stages—ensuring that my son receives the gentleness and attention needed, while also engaging the 5-month-old with more interactive activities. Her communication has been excellent, keeping us updated regularly on how the babies are doing, their moods, milestones, and any concerns she has. It is clear that she genuinely cares about the babies and their well-being. Although this was a temporary arrangement as we are transitioning our son to daycare at 6 months, we are sad to see her go. If we ever find ourselves in need of childcare again, we would absolutely reach out to Holly without hesitation. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, nurturing, and skilled nanny.
