Sittercity helps Twin Lakes families find the best child care providers

Hi! I’m Michaela, I’m 23 years old and have spent the past 7–8 years working with children in a variety of settings, including classrooms and private homes. I’ve cared for children ranging from 3 months to 12 years old, and have experience as both a nanny and early childhood educator. I hold certifications in CPR, First Aid, SIDS, Shaken Baby Syndrome, water safety training, etc. I’ve also completed three years of college coursework in child education, giving me a strong foundation in early childhood development. I love creating fun, enriching environments where children can learn, grow, and explore. Whether it’s going to music class, heading to the pool, or simply playing and learning at home, I enjoy being part of a child’s everyday adventures! I’m passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents, and I look forward to connecting with your family :)

Hi Parents! I am a SAHM of a wonderful 14 year old and 10 yr old.  I am looking for another child to start immediately for my home daycare. I would like to watch a small number of children so that I can spend a lot of time with each of them. I have several toys/educational activities for all ages. I'm not scared of messes!! I have experience with all age groups and multiple children in same age group. I only ask for the main holidays off, with a possible day off here or there with parents input first. I have my degree in elementary education and have worked in a corporate daycare center, as a nanny and ran a home daycare. I also have several references if interested. If you would like any more information, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!!

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 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!

My role is to guide children's learning, help them investigate, and offer support. I build a relationship with each child to help them feel safe and boost their self-confidence. I help children develop ready-for-school skills through problem-solving, social-emotional, and more.

I have experience caring for multiple children, twins, newborns, and school aged children. I’m starting to learn sign language and starting to learn how to work one on one with an autistic child. I’m learning how to help with daily routines and working side by side with therapists. I do have experience with caring for multiple children at once, including twins. I love doing outdoor and indoor activities; hand painting, coloring, and reading books are a normal part of our day. My days are full of different ideas to keep creative little minds going. Having raised 2 daughters of my own, I learned that having a fun day is most important!! I became a Certified Nurse Assistant in 2005, and worked as a Patient Care Tech for about 3 years, and I am CPR certified. My experience as a Nanny includes a variety of tasks in addition to childcare, including: light housekeeping, transportation to/from school and activities, cooking, and running errands. I am extremely reliable, never calling off work, and always on time. I am also very flexible with my schedule, and can start early or stay late on short notice. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have reliable transportation. Happy to provide detailed resume and current references upon request. Diane M
