Hello! My name is Bre Kloski. I am currently a college student at McHenry County College and looking forward to transferring once I am finished in order to pursue a bachelors degree in social work. I work at a daycare teacher during the day and have experience with ages 2 through 12. I also have plenty of babysitting experience, especially given the fact that I grew up with three other siblings. If you would like to know more about me, I would be more than happy to send you a copy of my resume. Thank you!

I am healthy and fit, and love the outdoors. I love to read, play games, sports, go on all kinds of outings with the children and help with homework and more. I I believe it is important to encourage good habits. I also enjoy cooking and baking. I'm clean, neat and honest. I know how important is to seek honest, reliable care for our most important assets, our children. I first started watching children when I was a pre-teen, I have 7 years as a Special Needs Bus Driver and Teaching Assistant and currently over 8 years as a nanny with letters of reference from the families I have worked with that I will bring to interviews, I can also provide the background check that I had run on this site. The last family I worked has made the decision to send the twin to a home daycare school with cousin. My last day is 9/25/25. I was with then 2 years. My overall responsibility as a Professional Nanny is to care for and protect your child/children while they are in my care. As a mother and nanny I understand what your child/children mean to you. look forward to meeting you and your family. Sincerely, Miss Karen Here are some more reviews from families I worked with as a Nanny or Babysitter: Lauren H. Karen was our nanny for 2 years and was a great part of our family. She is reliable, dependable, and great with kids. She created a great schedule of activities for our kids and always kept them busy and learning. She taught them great manners and life skills and has been a great part of our family. Karen cared for our kids, helped with household laundry, helped care for our dog, and ran errands for us. We would highly recommend Karen. Mark D Karen was a great caregiver for our 2 boys (5 and 3). She worked for us fro a few months while our regular daily caretaker was unable to work. Karen was always on time and worked around our schedule changes very well. Our boys liked her very much and she even brought over board games to play with them. We enjoyed our experience with Karen very much. Nov 12th, 2016 Adina Karen was great with our girls, 3 and 1. She was looking for something full time and we had a need for only 23.5 hours. She helped us out for a few days until we found another person. She was reliable, always on time or early.

My name is Vanessa. I am 27 years old, and I am a student at Harper College majoring in Radiologic Technology. I have 10 years of experience with babysitting/nannying. I am currently caring for multiple families on a regular basis, and some on occasions. These jobs include pickup and drop off from school, taking them to and from activities, cooking, and planning activities for them when we have free time. Also- I can provide some light housekeeping. I enjoy taking them to the park when the weather allows it, and to the library. I enjoy being outside, going for walks, and playing sports. I have two small dogs that I love very much. I am fluent in Italian. I think physical activity is essential for living a healthy lifestyle. It is especially important for a child, whether it be playing at the park or playing outside in the yard. I am a healthy person myself, therefore I enjoy cooking healthy meals. I love doing activities with children, such as arts and crafts, or my favorite-coloring and drawing. I also enjoy playing board games and card games. My favorite board game is chess. I believe that playing educational games is a great way to stimulate a child's brain and mind. I am also a very patient and nurturing person and I have great communication with children. I consider myself very responsible. Children are very safe when in my care. I am also CPR certified. I absolutely love children and its a joy to be around them. I can provide multiple references upon request!! Availability: As of right now, I am only available during weekday evenings and weekends (day/night). I also have experience with overnight sitting. In the summer, I am available on Tuesdays, and at 4PM M, W, Th, F. I'll be available weekends as well. Thanks!!

Hi! I’m Charlotte. I’ve been working with kids as long as I can remember and I am extremely passionate about protecting the minds of our future. I believe that it is our responsibility to help guide the next generation and create a space where they feel nurtured and loved so that they grow up into strong and capable individuals. I am a firm believer in the power love has in a persons life and not only do I want to make sure that each child has their needs met, I am big on protecting the love of family with the kids. I am not here to be a mother but an aide. I am very protective of the relationship between a mother and child and it is something I do not wish to hinder but rather strengthen. I have done babysitting for multiple homeschool co-op when I was still in high school. I nannied for a summer while the kids were home from school. On top of working for a couple new moms as a mother’s helper so that they could bond with their baby. My senior year, I started working as a part time nanny/mother’s helper. I had been with the family for four years until they moved this past July. That became full time work after I graduated and included Montessori education, nature studies and homeschooling different subjects. I had four kids spanning from 8yrs to 3 months old. I’m also the oldest of five kids. I currently tutor at a co-op once a week with ages 6-7 and 12+. I used to teach 8-10 as well as work in the nursery. On top of this, I also work occasionally as a certified DSP in HomeBased services but my hours are inconsistent and flexible.
