If its okay with some parents My 5 year old and my one year old will be coming along with me some days until I get my one year old situated with daycare at the moment, he will start first week of August and my 5 year old until he starts kindergarten on August 14☺️ I have experience caring for children aged 0-10 years, with a particular focus on infants and toddlers aged 2-5. I am currently working on obtaining my CPR and First Aid certification. I have my own car and maintain a clean driving record. My skills include meal preparation, diaper changes, giving baths, playtime, engaging activities, sleep strategies, and organization.

I meet all your listed requirements and believe would make a good nanny. I have years of experience as a nanny for two families. In addition to two full-time nanny positions, I have worked as a preschool and daycare teacher with children from infants to 4 and 5 years old. I love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding than taking care of them. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organizational and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. I completed a CPR and First Aid training . I believe such knowledge is important and can be a life saver. I am deeply interested in working for you, and hope you will give me a chance to meet you in person to discuss my candidacy in detail. By the way, my last nanny job was for a wonderful family in Glencoe . I stayed with them for six and a half years. Dorota Zukowski

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.

I have experience caring for children of all ages—from babies to teenagers. I’m a calm, patient, and reliable person who enjoys spending time with kids, supporting their routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve helped with a variety of tasks like meal prep, playtime, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping things organized. I try to adapt to each child’s needs, whether they need more attention, encouragement, or just someone to have fun with. I also have basic knowledge of first aid and try to stay alert and responsible at all times. I know how important communication with parents is, and I always do my best to follow their instructions and keep them informed. Taking care of kids is something I truly enjoy, and I always aim to create a positive and respectful environment where they can feel comfortable and happy.

I have over 16 years experience working in schools Ages infants to High School age . I have worked with children and adults with special needs. I Enjoy teaching children of all ages and have dedicated my career to the betterment of all children
