Meet the Owner
Hi, I’m Vickie!
As a mom of 6 kids and gramma to 6 grandkids (so far! 😊), I started Kid Stuff to fill a gap for quality maternity and children’s resale in the DeKalb area. We opened our doors on August 1, 1999.
I’ve worked with children all my life — from babysitting siblings and cousins, to studying Special Education for the Hearing Impaired at NIU, to being a head teacher and co-owning a private home daycare. Sign language is my second language, and helping families is my first love.
I personally know the features and operation of the baby gear in the shop, so I can help you purchase with confidence.
