I am a full-time nanny living in Chicago and I also provide babysitting services on occasion. I have been helping with childcare for my family since I was 12 years old, as the eldest of five children, three of whom are active boys. I have always enjoyed watching over children and creating a fun, safe environment for my charges. I have experience with infants, toddlers and preschool children, particularly preschool as I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for my church for six years. I also did one summer as a camp counselor for a sleep-away camp, which put me in charge of 4-8 kids 22/7. Some of my favorite activities are reading, drama and games. Generally I am a fun, easygoing sitter who enjoys playing games with the kids and making sure they have what they need. I tend to be very calm and even tempered, which helps me keep Read more up with high-energy kids.

I only recently met Sarah at an interview to be our nanny, but I was blown away immediately by how well she interacted with our toddler and infant girls. It didnt't work out for us, because of the commute, but she was up front immediately about her concern, and was so professional. She is so kind that she even offered to help us network. Thank you, Sarah, for your kindness, honesty, and extraordinary willingness to help our family! -Kate and Dan

We simply cannot say enough about Sarah and what she has meant to our daughter and family for the past year. Our daughter, now 15 months, has quickly grown up in her care as she has been with her since she was 3 months old. Of Sarah’s strengths—and there are many—her greatest is her creativity and dependability. She was punctual, working around our busy schedule while also ensuring that our daughter’s safety and development was always her primary concern. Our daughter loved going to the parks and pools when it was nice, or playing with arts and crafts in her room when it was rainy. She truly treated our daughter as if she was her own and shared a special bond. In addition to the child care she provided, she also helped with laundry and cleaning tasks, which proved a tremendous, help to us. We deeply regret that we are losing Sarah as our nanny, but Grandma is retiring and looking forward to taking care of her grandchild. We highly recommend Sarah Kindt for the position to which she has applied. We know that your children would love her as much as our daughter has.
