Karen R., Babysitter in Woodstock, IL 60098 with 15 years of paid experience

  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.

Karen helped us out with our 6 month old baby, 2 year old toddler, and 3 year old dog. She has a kindhearted and nurturing demeanor, and most importantly, our kids enjoyed playing with her! Looking forward to having her babysit again in the future.

Katie has been our nanny for over five years now. I met Katie because she was the first Sitter at a daycare center in Schaumburg for my son and we loved her and she has taken care of our kids since then and through Covid and has been our weekly Nanny. She is exceptional timely never calls in sick unless absolutely necessary. She always brings activities for the kids to do and during Covid. She was so good at teaching them so I highly recommend Katie. She's amazing.

We are thrilled to share our experience with Ruth, who has been an exceptional caregiver for our toddler son. From the moment she joined us, she has consistently demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and a genuine love for children. Ruth has a remarkable ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and valued. She engages them in creative and educational activities that not only entertain but also contribute to their development. Her patience and understanding are truly commendable, especially when handling the occasional tantrum or two. One of the things we appreciate most about Ruth is her reliability and punctuality. She has always been there when we needed her, often going above and beyond to accommodate our schedules. We will definitely recommend her services if you're looking for a nanny/sitter for your child.

Chloe C., Babysitter in Woodstock, IL 60098 with 4 years of paid experience

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.
