Hello friends! My name is Izabela but the kids call me Miss Bella. I have been a successful child care provider for over 14 years. I still love what I am doing, and it's my great pleasure to work with kids and watch as they grow smart and learn in a friendly environment. We love to do preschool, crafts, play games, read books, going outside to play and more. I have a beautiful separate room just for daycare and a big fenced yard with a big sand box and lots of toys. You will get lots of photos as my hobby and sometimes part time job is photography. I have 3 kids of my own (2 of them are still in the house) so I truly understand how hard it could be to leave your precious child with a stranger, and because of that I truly believe that we as parents need to be comfortable and communicate daily with each other to keep the best of interest with your child. I am honest and will tell you how it is, and I love to hear from parents their honest opinion or suggestions. We do have a small (16 lbs) dog named Teddy. He is 7 years old and a hypoallergenic dog in addition to being kept separate from the day care kids, he is very friendly. I would love to hear your child care needs. We are open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. As DCFS rules I have background check. Thank you for your interest, Miss Bella :) 815.603.2952

Grow Where You're Planted In-home Daycare

15002 S. Des Plaines Plainfield, IL

< 1 mi

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.

Creating Learning

In terms of childcare I believe that positive reinforcement, creative learning, consistency, patience and a sense of humor are fundamental. I am very interactive with the kids I care for and love going out on field trips! Learning through hands-on experience is fun and effective so your little one will always be engaged when here. Open Mon-Fri 6 a.m.-5 p.m. I have a Bachelors degree from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. My rates are negotiable as are my hours. The occasional weekend and date-night can be done with notice. I am only able to care for 1-2 children at once in order to provide the best possible care and individualized attention that I feel is necessary for successful child development. My home is located in a great neighborhood within walking distance from biking/walking trails, several parks, fishing ponds, and a clubhouse with volleyball, basketball, tennis courts and both a regular and baby pool. In my yard I have a fun castle playground, trampoline and outdoor toys. I have an inflatable "water-park" that I use in the summer. Indoors I have every toy and game you can imagine including a playroom with an arts and crafts area. Besides taking your little one out; I also enjoy baking, creating, playing games and reading with kids. I have a reliable family vehicle with an 8 person capacity. I have both personal and professional experience with special needs that spans most of my life including a camp counselor for children with special needs. This experience includes Sensory Input/Diet, ASD, PDD, Picture Exchange System, ADD/ADHD, OCD, Mental Illness, Communication and Developmental Delays as well as Sign Language. Plus I have three kids of my own, two of which are school age. Alec-2, Arianna-8 and Anthony-13 who has Asperger's Syndrome (very high-functioning). If you are looking for a friendly, fun and engaging home environment where your child will get plenty of one on one attention than please contact me. I am open to all questions and look forward to getting to know you and your little one.
