Home Daycares in Barrington

I opened Jane’s Family Child Care five years ago when my two kids were in different schools and their schedules were really hard to figure out with the job I had. I love children, and this allowed me to help parents who needed good care while also having the schedule I needed for my own family. Now, my passion for early childhood development continues to grow, inspiring me to provide quality care for the children. My family also has grown so much because the children in my program feel like family to me. I have always loved kids, and running my program has given me a special opportunity to watch so many kids learn and grow. When they have individual breakthroughs and they show tremendous personal growth, it makes me so proud!

I started working with children in a home child care program in 2007, and I have been working as a teacher in various daycare programs ever since. I love to work with kids, and it has always been my dream to open my own program. I have so much experience to share with children. It’s so exciting that now I do it in a program that I design and direct. Working with children is incredibly rewarding for me because every child is different. When they’re little, I love to watch them start talking and walking. When they’re a little older, I love to teach them and see their progress as they learn shapes and numbers. I have helped so many children work through their individual challenges and achieve personal gains. I love to see them happy when they’re learning.

Children are just so fun to work with! It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow and come into their own personalities. When he was younger, my nephew had a hard time expressing himself and sharing his feelings. We are quite close and spent a lot of time one-on-one working on processing emotions and advocating for oneself. It feels wonderful knowing you’ve helped someone learn these important skills. I’ve always had a passion for working with children. Since I was young, I was the go-to babysitter for families in my neighborhood. For years, I nannied for a big family, and it was a privilege to be around them as they grew up. Kids are so social, and something really remarkable happens when you get a good group of them together in a supportive learning environment. Obviously, I hope to be a source of comfort and guidance for them, but they can also learn so much from one another! Watching them foster friendships and learn to work together is honestly inspiring.

Young children see the world in such an open-minded and inspiring way, and they encourage everyone around them to share that good energy. Their natural curiosity and their desire to connect with one another is beautiful. No matter how many years I spend caregiving or working in preschools, it’s always refreshing. I’ve always been the person who took care of all the kids in my family, so it just comes naturally.
