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.

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 love kids, I’ve worked for Kiddie Academy daycare. I’ve taken child development classes in college.I have been babysitting for a long time. I have a passion for children.I would like to be a pediatrician nurse in the future. I am patient and caring always! I know french, Spanish and English. I was in choir!! I play 7 instruments! My side job is photography. I can provide references of previous babysitting jobs if needed. I was in soccer, lacrosse, cross country and track through highschool and middle school, so with older kiddos I can practice/play with them. With my younger babies/toddler I like to read to them, interact with them, I have also been a speech therapist assistant so I can help with some learning! Aside from that I like to treat all my kiddos with love. As well as I am a mother myself! Thank you!
