Meredith V., Child Care in South Elgin, IL 60177 with 20 years of paid experience

I love kids and welcome babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I work full time during the week (so evenings/weekends are perfect for me!) I have babysat my entire live and was a nanny for 5 years. I've worked with numerous other Sittercity families and am always looking to grow with others! I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I drive my own vehicle, live in Wicker Park/born and raised in Chicago, love pets, have amazing references, and am First Aid and CPR certified (Northwestern). I love kids - I love having them play and explore inside and outside the home. I love engaging them in new activities and motivating and challenging them to learn.

Michelle is our current nanny and has cared for our 3 girls for the last 1.5 years. They’re young and can be a lot to handle at times. The girls love her and they look forward to when she is coming. She’s a very thorough communicator and goes over what they did every day. I highly recommend Michelle for any nanny needs.

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 South Elgin, IL 60177 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.
