Mona J., Child Care in Carol Stream, IL 60188 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m an experienced, reliable babysitter with 10+ years of professional nanny experience and 2 years as a German Au Pair living with an American family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged, and I’m comfortable managing multiple kids at once. I can help with everything from diaper changes and bedtime routines to homework, meal prep, and fun activities. I’m calm, organized, and happy to tidy up so you can come home to a smooth, settled house. As a parent myself, I understand how important trust is. My goal is simple: happy kids and relaxed parents

I adore Mona. Our family has known her for about 5 years now. Our daughters are best friends (from ages 5 to 9 currently), and I am so glad for that. We trust Mona - she’s smart, caring, generous, thoughtful and intentional. She believes in teaching and allowing kids age appropriate independence. She recognizes and meets kids where they are but also has a lot of fun. Mona is reliable, responsible and a great communicator - she drives my kids to school and takes them on fun adventures. She is artistic, loves animals, enjoys the outdoors, loves to garden and cook, and is very involved and active in her daughter’s school. Finally, I witness and observe how Mona is raising her own daughter. Not only am I incredibly grateful that my kids get the benefit of Mona’s huge heart and genuine care, but I too have grown as a parent from knowing her.

Jill P., Child Care in Carol Stream, IL 60188 with 4 years of paid experience

My name is Jill Patel and I would love to be your next helper! I am a rising junior at the university of pittsburgh where I am majoring in neuroscience and child development. A little bit about me is that I love all kinds of animals, I can speak 4 languages fluently (English, Gujarati, Hindi, French), and I love the outdoors. I has lots of experience with kids since I was a nanny for a 2 year old and an 8 month old, and I have been a tennis coach for 4 years. I adore kids of all ages and love to connect with each of them. They bring a fresh perspective to everything and can brighten up any sad day. Working as a tennis coach with children as young as 3 and adults as old as 60, I have picked up a lot of tips and tricks when it comes to working and engaging with children. I believe that my job has really given me an insight on what goes on their little minds and how I can form a relationship with them. So I’ve encountered any and all situations with kids from ad young as infants and up to high schoolers. I like to approach with a more hands-on approach regarding activities, with limited screen time. I always have lots of games, stories, educative learning, and imagery play ready to go!

Jill is phenomenal. She is very attentive to my rambunctious kindergartner, respectful and above all follows through on what she says she will do, even if it’s not super convenient for her. She is kind, intelligent and personable. I definitely recommend her and plan on keeping her on speed dial.

We were lucky to have Delaney as our sitter for over a month. She was reliable, on time, and communicative. She balanced being professional and fun/ friendly naturally. I'd recommend her as a sitter in a heartbeat.

Micaela  G., Child Care in Carol Stream, IL 60188 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi there! For as long as I can remember, working with children has forever been a part of me. Before covid, I was a special needs swim instructor for 4 years and this was the beginning of my journey. Since then, I have been a nanny for 3 families - each had a year contract. I am experienced in infant care as well as special needs, multiples, and twins. I used to be a lifeguard trainer so I have knowledge in cpr and first aid and I am certified. I recently became a person trainer and have proof of CPR certification upon request. I have scored “expert” in early childhood development assessments. Lastly, I am a kid at heart, so I’ll love any opportunity to help a family that I can be a part of :)

Micaela was our nanny for about a year and a half, caring for our three young boys, ages 5, 3, and 2. She initially joined our family as a temporary nanny while we were transitioning between childcare arrangements, but we quickly grew to love her so much that we brought her on full time. She is truly one of the kindest, most hardworking, respectful, and genuinely caring people I have ever met. The only reason we stopped using her was because I made the decision to stay home full time with our children. Even now, we continue to stay in touch with her because she became such an important part of our family. Professionally, Micaela was exceptional. She was consistently reliable and never once arrived late. Every day, she showed up with enthusiasm, patience, and genuine joy for caring for our energetic boys. She handled challenging situations with a calm and steady presence, always bringing warmth and positivity into our home. I never once questioned her ability to manage whatever the day brought, and she was always flexible and accommodating whenever unexpected work situations came up for us. We love Micaela dearly and truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Sherry D., Child Care in Carol Stream, IL 60188 with 10 years of paid experience

I have been a stay at home Mom for our boy's entire lives. They are now grown men, and I have become a Grandma. I really enjoy care giving whether for the very young or the elderly. I am a Christian, non smoking, first aid trained, very experienced babysitter. I have been a nanny for ten years. I have my own transportation, and can provide pick up after school. I am very reliable, punctual and flexible if needs arise. I am also a Stephen Minister with even more training in care and communication. Please allow me to give fun and careful care in your absence, so that you may be able to rest easy and not be concerned about the home front while you are away. I can be available M-F in your home. Currently, looking for a part time Nanny position for the 26/27 school year. I enjoyed giving care to a four and five year old active brothers during the 17/18, 18/19, 19/20, 20/21, and 21/22 school years. At that point they no longer needed after school care. This involved transportation to/from the grade school as well as transportation to/from the preK where the four year old was enrolled daily. We had a lot of fun together. In (2016-17) I cared for 2 elementary age sisters before and after school. Since their Mom is a teacher, she is home with them for the summer. The school year before that (15/16), I worked for a family with a 4th grade daughter and a 7th grade son. I have enjoyed becoming a part of their family. I am finding that I am in need of more than the 10.5 hours this dear family can give me. The previous year (14/15), I enjoyed caring for a 5th grade boy. The following fall he was being bused to his Jr. high and no longer needed a caregiver as he had older siblings. Would love to hear from you ASAP if you are in need of reliable, on time, transportation provider, and nurturing care giving for your children after school in the 203 Naperville district. My neighborhood elementary school is Steeple Run, so that is obviously my preference. Would prefer to stay in District 203.

Sherry cared for our 11 year old son before and after school this year. She was kind, reliable and gentle spirited. She was flexible too! She provided routine and safe transportation. We would highly recommend Sherry.

Abilyn P., Child Care in Carol Stream, IL 60188 with 10 years of paid experience

I’m a reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, and truly love creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where kids can grow and feel understood. I take pride in making everyday moments special—whether that’s planning fun outdoor activities, crafts, or simply being present and attentive to each child’s unique needs. My current long-term position is coming to an end as the youngest child is starting kindergarten, and I’m now looking for a full-time summer role with the hope of continuing into a long-term position with the right family. I value strong communication, mutual respect, and becoming a supportive, dependable part of a family’s daily life. I love being outside, staying active, and encouraging creativity and curiosity in children. I can also provide strong references from families I’ve worked closely with over the years. I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love being around kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or playdates, I try to make the most out of each experience. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, and managing routines/activities. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced to jump in a few days a week this summer, I’d love to connect!!! ☺️☀️
