Hi! I'm Dee, 38 and will be entering my 7th year in infant care. I'm a member of the Newborn Care Specialist Association, as well as a Postpartum Doula (trained through DONA International). I offer both day or overnight contracts for newborn care or full postpartum support up to the 1st birthday. I have 10 years of experience as a clinical healthcare professional (Certified Nurse's Aide from 2008 to 2018), with over 10, 000 hours of professional infant care alone since 2021, totaling 15 years of care for over 500 patients/families, including 18 months as nursery staff. Experience includes preemies, twins, low birth weight, reflux, RSV, COVID-19, torticollis, tongue ties, sleep training and cesarean recovery. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED and Bloodborne Pathogen certified, with vaccines current for COVID-19, flu, Tdap, and chickenpox. I am searchable in the Illinois Healthcare Worker Registry by first name and last initial! References available per request. Next full-time availability: Oct 2026
Dee has been our full time nanny for our now 11-month old for the past 6+ months and it will leave such a hole in our family when we say goodbye to move out of state. Dee is reliable, loving, observant, funny, flexible and smart. She's a good communicator, always thoughtful and collaborative with even our quirkiest requests and our daughter just adores her. Dee has really become a part of our family and the smile that comes on our daughter's face when Dee arrives (and sings the good morning song) every day is exactly what I'd hoped for from a nanny relationship. We'll be sad to lose her and know any family would be incredibly lucky to have their children in her care.
