My name is Christine. I am a mom of six children and I home schooled all of them. I am a licensed daycare located in Elgin, west of Randall Rd. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I also teach a full preschool curriculum during school year, piano, and have circle time with the little ones singing and playing little instruments. We do many crafts and read lots of books! We love playing games and spending a lot of time outside playing. I work to help children build self-confidence and self-esteem as a result of positive daily experiences. I want children to feel safe and loved and to be in a family oriented environment in which children can express their creativity, develop social skills, grow intellectually, and build trusting relationships. I have a beautiful big fenced in backyard and I am walking distance to a lovely park. I love children and I love watching them grow and learn. I have many years of experience with infants and multiples.

Kathryn's Nanny/Babysitting Service

871 High Street Elgin, IL

My name is Kathryn Miller and an experienced babysitter/nanny and mother. I am looking for a stable, long-term nanny position with a child near the age of my own (born early March, 2017). I would also be amenable to care in my home for a lower rate. I am also happy to take a part-time position if hours and compensation are adequate for my own budget. I strongly believe based on both my education and mother's intuition that babies and young toddlers benefit from a more home-like setting with more cuddles and a less rigid schedule. I do believe in encouraging an age-appropriate measure of independent play, but I also believe that, if possible, it's better to pick up a baby before they become too upset. In my care, babies receive frequent diaper changes, age appropriate exercise, sensory play, time outside when weather allows, music time, book time, silly baby games, cuddling, and Spanish time. I also take care of oral hygiene if with them a full day, and I make sure they get the rest they need. I can give baths once in a while if you're busy (or after a diaper explosion). I also keep a record of your child's day so you know how their day went. If care is in my home: Field Trips to the Gail Borden library are taken regularly year round. Field trips that require an extra measure of safety are taken when I have assistance from my husband or mother (a registered nurse). Examples would be: the swimming pool, nature centers, and seasonal outings. (I take care of expenses.) If care is in your home, I'm happy to go to your local library/pool, with parents responsible for any extra expenses. Additional information regarding myself: *I hold a Bachelor's Degree from Elmhurst College with a focus on Education. *I am CPR &amp; First Aid Certified: adults and children. *Three years experience as a live-out nanny for child from age 1-4 (Reference information provided to serious inquirers). *Non-smoking. *Experience as a teacher's aide, ages 3-18, in school settings in the USA and Ecuador. Experience with younger children/babies in church nursery. *Fluent in the Spanish language via schooling in the United States, and Ecuador service trips with Habitat for Humanity through my church, and a semester abroad through the International Service Learning Program. *I've taken coursework in nutrition as a part of my education curriculum. Foods are always fresh and healthy-sugary treats are reserved for special occasions only.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Dundee, IL

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Dundee, IL. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift.

You can also check your options in Dundee, IL for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Dundee, IL, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Dundee, IL.
