Basma has been a wonderful nanny for our infant daughter. She is incredibly caring, trustworthy, and attuned to our baby’s needs. She adapted seamlessly to our schedule and parenting preferences, and her communication has always been proactive and clear - including always giving advance notice for any time off. Basma is respectful, dependable, and a joy to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional infant care.

I have worked as a babysitter since I was in high school and during my holiday breaks from medical school when I’m back in town. I have multiple years of experience and babysat kids all different ages. As well, in the past I was a swim instructor for kids. I enjoy working with kids, I am patient and manage to have good contact with them. Right now I'm studying medical school in Europe, I’m on my 4th year out of 6 years. Through this I know CPR and first aid as well.

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I'd be delighted to work as your caregiver! I recently moved back to Florida to be closer to family permanently. I have years of experience working at Montessori schools and as both a part-time and full-time nanny with children from infants to young adults. I am certified by the American Heart Association Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) Program. From 2013-2014, I worked as a full-time caregiver with a 2.5 - 3-year-old, and as a part-time caregiver with a child from when she was 16 - 24 months, in addition to her brother who was a newborn. From 2018-2019, I worked part-time as a nanny with an infant from when he was a newborn = 6 months old. From 2023-2024, I took care of another infant from when she was 1 - 8 months old, part-time. From 2025-2026, I also worked part-time as a caregiver with an infant from when she was a newborn - 8 months. In 2024, I earned my PhD in English from Northwestern University and taught as an Adjunct Professor of English at St. Xavier University in Chicago, IL throughout last semester. In 2011, I graduated from Cornell Universtiy, where I double-majored in English and Spanish, so I thoroughly enjoy reading and would be happy to promote a creative, literary environment. In addition, I am a big fan of the outdoors and sports, so I'd be happy to engage interatively, as a caregiver, as well! I truly enjoy working with children, and I would love to help in any way I can. I am a non-smoker and very responsible. Please feel free to message me here. Thank you, Jessica

Jessica is an absolute treasure! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about newborn/infant care she was incredibly receptive to our care plan and took direction with the highest level of respect and understanding. Another aspect that my wife and I appreciated about Jessica was her communication and punctuality. We were sad to move cities for work otherwise, we would have continued to employ her! 10/10

Hi! I’m an experienced, reliable babysitter with 10+ years of professional nanny experience and 2 years as a German Au Pair living with an American family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged, and I’m comfortable managing multiple kids at once. I can help with everything from diaper changes and bedtime routines to homework, meal prep, and fun activities. I’m calm, organized, and happy to tidy up so you can come home to a smooth, settled house. As a parent myself, I understand how important trust is. My goal is simple: happy kids and relaxed parents

I adore Mona. Our family has known her for about 5 years now. Our daughters are best friends (from ages 5 to 9 currently), and I am so glad for that. We trust Mona - she’s smart, caring, generous, thoughtful and intentional. She believes in teaching and allowing kids age appropriate independence. She recognizes and meets kids where they are but also has a lot of fun. Mona is reliable, responsible and a great communicator - she drives my kids to school and takes them on fun adventures. She is artistic, loves animals, enjoys the outdoors, loves to garden and cook, and is very involved and active in her daughter’s school. Finally, I witness and observe how Mona is raising her own daughter. Not only am I incredibly grateful that my kids get the benefit of Mona’s huge heart and genuine care, but I too have grown as a parent from knowing her.

Hi! My name is Chloe Coss I am currently a senior at Prairie Ridge and I am 100% going to McHenry county college next year I plan on getting my associates in forensics and photography and moving to Orlando and becoming a crime scene investigator. I love children and I've worked around them since I was 13 years old I love going to the gym and I love being around my friends and family. I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I’ve been around children since I was 13, and I find it really rewarding to build connections with them and be someone they feel comfortable with. Whether it’s playing games, helping with routines, or just making them smile, it’s something I truly enjoy doing.I have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I babysat for a family with three kids (ages 3, 5, and 3 months), where I helped with daily care, playtime, and routines. I also worked at Jump Zone as a party host, where I supervised children and made sure they were safe while having fun. Most recently, I worked at 2 Hours of Freedom, where I continued supervising and interacting with kids in an active environment. These experiences helped me learn how to manage groups of children and adapt to different personalities and needs.I have strong communication and patience when working with children, and I’m good at staying calm and responsible in different situations. I’m experienced in supervising kids, keeping them safe, and creating fun activities for them. I’m also very reliable, organized, and comfortable handling multiple children at once. In addition, I stay active and energetic, which helps me keep up with kids and engage with them in a positive way.
