I love working with kids because each one has always reminded me that I can learn just as much from them as they can from me, and they hold a special place in my heart. My most recent role was as a first-grade teacher, but I have experience working with all ages from infants to teenagers. I am so excited to connect with new families!

I've been a nanny/babysitter since I was 18. I'm now 37 years old and I have a 8 year old son. I've always enjoyed interacting with kids and caring for them. I know how hard it is to leave your children with a stranger so I always to make everyone feel comfortable and be that extra hand they count on. I was in the army reserves for a few years and have also worked in a pediatric dental office as an assistant and receptionist. My now ex husband joined the army and so we had to move around a bit but my son and I moved back to the Mundelein area. My mom was also a nanny and so I grew up going to work with her and found my own passion for helping families and followed in her footsteps. All the families we have worked for have become like family and most we still keep in touch after the kids have grown up. My son has been going to work with me since he was 1.5 years old and he loves it. It's like a playdate for him and the other children. He's very social and well mannered. My most recent work was for a family in Lincolshire who had 2 little girls ages 2.5 and 5 when I started. I was with the from Jan 2023-Aug 2024. Prior to them I was with a family in Texas who have 2 little girls. They were ages 2.5 years old and 5 months old when I started. I worked for a year with them. I have other references from Illinois as well. My son used to go to work with me and I was lucky to find families who were kind enough to allow that. Now he is in school all day so its not longer a neccesity but I still would like to find families who wouldnt mind if i needed to for all the random days off of school, however I know it's not for everyone so I would understand and have care for him. I've cared for all ages from 6 weeks old to 14 years. I've also worked in a daycare in the infant room and toddler room. Helping to care for 12-20 kids at once. I enjoy doing crafts with the kids and going outside. I have my own reliable car and am non smoking. I also enjoy taking care of pets so if you have any that's not a problem. I've dogsat for families as well. I've taken care of up to 4 kids at once alone. I also organize so if you need help with that I would love to. Updated availability!! Currently available part time for as needed care and only short term. I'm currently pregnant and due in October. My son starts school august 20 so I'd be available during school hours and if he can come with I can do afternoons after 3pm.

Hi, I’m Jennifer! I live in Crystal Lake and am warm, dependable, patient, and invested in the children I care for. Childcare has been part of my life since age nine, when I began caring for younger relatives, and continued through raising my three children. I have nine years of paid childcare experience: five years at KinderCare, 18 months as a live-in nanny caring for a four-year-old, and over two years providing private-family care for two young brothers. Those years are complemented by decades of hands-on experience with children. I’ve cared for infants through teenagers and enjoy learning each child’s personality, interests, humor, strengths, and challenges. I’ve supported neurodivergent children, including those with autism and ADHD, as well as children needing help with behavior, organization, emotional regulation, or transitions. My approach is patient, clear, and consistent, with room for silliness and fun! I’m comfortable managing transportation, morning and after-school routines, nap schedules, activities, homework reminders, household organization, and changing schedules. I enjoy playtime, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and helping children build confidence and independence. I prepare simple breakfasts, sandwiches, and snacks. Before returning my focus to childcare, I spent nearly nine years at Morgan Stanley, advancing to Operations Manager while supporting high-net-worth clients. That experience strengthened my discretion, confidentiality, organization, communication, judgment, and ability to calmly manage competing priorities—skills valuable in a private home. I’m seeking a long-term position with a family that values trust, open communication, consistency, and connection. I value forming lasting bonds with children while respecting their parents’ preferences, values, privacy, and boundaries. My hours may be flexible depending on location and commute, and I’m available to start immediately. In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, supporting my sons at band and Scout activities, and spending time with family and our dogs. I’m comfortable with pets and have previously been certified in CPR and First Aid.

Great weekend sitter looking to help a family. I am First Aid and CPR certified in infants, children and adults . Along with that I believe in having fun as well as capturing those educational moments with children. I also can do house work and assist with most activities around the house.

Currently working full time for a family with an infant, and looking to pick up extra work on the weekends or even date nights during the week. I have experience caring for multiple children, twins, newborns, and school aged children. I’m learning how to help with daily routines and working side by side with therapists for special needs children. I do have experience with caring for multiple children at once, including twins. I love doing outdoor and indoor activities; hand painting, coloring, and reading books are a normal part of our day. My days are full of different ideas to keep creative little minds going. Having raised 2 daughters of my own, I learned that having a fun day is most important!! I became a Certified Nurse Assistant in 2005, and worked as a Patient Care Tech for about 3 years, and I am CPR certified. My experience as a Nanny includes a variety of tasks in addition to childcare, including: light housekeeping, transportation to/from school and activities, cooking, and running errands. I am extremely reliable, never calling off work, and always on time. I am also very flexible with my schedule, and can start early or stay late on short notice. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have reliable transportation. Happy to provide detailed resume and current references upon request. Diane M
