- BS Degree in Human and Educational Services from Illinois State University - Native English speaker - Travel-Ready (Domestic or International) - Valid Driver's License and Spotless Driving Record - CPR & First Aid Certified I am a nurturing, playful, active and creative individual with a passion for helping children grow and learn. I love to keep children engaged with educational play. I am motivated, take initiative and have a team player mentality within the home. I started my childcare career early, as a "mother's helper" babysitter in 7th grade and evolved into nannying part time in high school. Since then I have professionally attended to newborns-17 years in a range of experiences: nanny (up to 5 children, special needs, full time, part time), babysitting, Sunday school teacher, preschool and daycare volunteer, junior high & high school special education field experience, and work at the Children's Discovery Museum. Available mid June for full time position.

"When is JoJo coming back again? We miss her and want her to come play with us." These are the questions and comments I have heard repeatedly from my children since Jordan moved away with her family two years ago. Jordan is a very responsible and thoughtful young woman who cared for my five children for over 5 years. She was always punctual and ready to take the reins from me the minute she walked in the door. I could count on her to of course take care of the kids' physical needs (i.e. bathe, dress, feed, etc.), but also to engage them in activities. She would take them on outings to the park, library and pool. She played board games, cards and endless hours of hide-and-seek with them...even decorated gingerbread houses one year! Jordan also cared for my youngest son for multiple days while my husband and I vacationed with the older children out-of-state. I was very comfortable leaving him with her for an extended period of time...that is how very much I trusted her.
