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.

Hello! My name is Katie, I love being a sitter for children & animal children. I work full time for a community college, so my availability is mostly nights and weekends. I started babysitting when I was 14 years old. The child I was recently sitting for moved, so I'm looking for new families now. I worked as a day camp counselor and taught various park district classes including sports, art, cooking, intro to preschool. I love playing outside, going to the park, doing crafts, coloring etc.

Hello Families! I am an experienced nanny looking for a part-time position, in your home or mine. I have a two-year-old daughter who will be in my care as well. During college, I worked as a nanny for four great families. Soon after graduation, I was married and had my first child. I transitioned into providing child care for other families with my daughter in tow, and with her I worked for two wonderful Crystal Lake families. On a typical day, you might find us visiting a park, taking a long walk, or bathing in a kiddie pool. Indoors and during cooler weather, we enjoy reading daily, visiting a local library (we often sign up for story-time), dancing to music, crafts for older kiddos, and sensory activities for those that are younger. If in your home, I typically take on light cooking and housework, such as laundry, vacuuming/sweeping, and dishes. My availability may change in the spring of 2018, as I am looking into attending graduate school at that time. It is possible that my schedule will remain fairly open and flexible, which is why I am seeking a part-time position that may transition just fine if/when I attend school. I live in Lake in the Hills, in the Glacier Ridge Elementary School Boundaries. I am open to a before and/or after school position in this area. Thank you for visiting my profile; I look forward to meeting you!

Hello! My name is Danielle. I'm 21 years old and come from a family of 7, and have 8 nieces and nephews ages ranging from 1-9. I grew up doing musical theater, and started teaching summer camp to kids ages 5-12 about 4 summers ago! I have been babysitting for 5 families since I was 13, and worked as a part time nanny all last year to an infant, toddler and 7-year-old. So I'm very experienced when it comes to kids, as being around kids is like second nature to me. Aside from all that, I am CPR/AED certified, I have m own transportation and am very comfortable driving kids. I'm a hard worker, with high energy, and lots of patience to give spare :) I would love to hear back from you if you feel I would be a great fit for your family! Thank you for your consideration.
