Kim has been a wonderful nanny. She is very caring and attentive to our daughter's needs, is kind and playful during her wake times, and soothing and calm during her nap times. Kim is punctual and responsible, easy to work with and schedule. We really appreciate that she always tries her best for our daughter, and highly recommend her.

Mona J., Nanny in Algonquin, IL 60102 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.

Kimberly S., Nanny in Algonquin, IL 60102 with 15 years of paid experience

I've been a nanny/babysitter since I was 18. I'm now 37 years old and I have a 8 year old son. I've always enjoyed interacting with kids and caring for them. I know how hard it is to leave your children with a stranger so I always to make everyone feel comfortable and be that extra hand they count on. I was in the army reserves for a few years and have also worked in a pediatric dental office as an assistant and receptionist. My now ex husband joined the army and so we had to move around a bit but my son and I moved back to the Mundelein area. My mom was also a nanny and so I grew up going to work with her and found my own passion for helping families and followed in her footsteps. All the families we have worked for have become like family and most we still keep in touch after the kids have grown up. My son has been going to work with me since he was 1.5 years old and he loves it. It's like a playdate for him and the other children. He's very social and well mannered. My most recent work was for a family in Lincolshire who had 2 little girls ages 2.5 and 5 when I started. I was with the from Jan 2023-Aug 2024. Prior to them I was with a family in Texas who have 2 little girls. They were ages 2.5 years old and 5 months old when I started. I worked for a year with them. I have other references from Illinois as well. My son used to go to work with me and I was lucky to find families who were kind enough to allow that. Now he is in school all day so its not longer a neccesity but I still would like to find families who wouldnt mind if i needed to for all the random days off of school, however I know it's not for everyone so I would understand and have care for him. I've cared for all ages from 6 weeks old to 14 years. I've also worked in a daycare in the infant room and toddler room. Helping to care for 12-20 kids at once. I enjoy doing crafts with the kids and going outside. I have my own reliable car and am non smoking. I also enjoy taking care of pets so if you have any that's not a problem. I've dogsat for families as well. I've taken care of up to 4 kids at once alone. I also organize so if you need help with that I would love to. Updated availability!! Currently available part time for as needed care and only short term. I'm currently pregnant and due in October. My son starts school august 20 so I'd be available during school hours and if he can come with I can do afternoons after 3pm.

Kim had been an exceptional caregiver for our kids, Kennedy and Noa. She created a awesome environment that made the kids feel comfortable and safe. Kim was really attentive and always ensured they were engaged with fun activities. She is patient and kind, and truly loved the girls, and our girls loved her as well As the girls got older the schedules no longer aligned but we will always consider Kim part of the family. We highly recommend Kim to any family looking for a nanny. She’s was a great presence in our children’s lives, and we are grateful for her and the impact she made.

Haley F., Nanny in Algonquin, IL 60102 with 8 years of paid experience

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!

Haley has been an absolute joy to have in our lives. She is so flexible and helps me stay organized! The children love her and I feel safe knowing that she is watching my 2 kids. She has a dependable car, a supportive husband, and loves my children. I couldn't have asked for a better, more loving person.

Chloe C., Nanny in Algonquin, IL 60102 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Chloe Coss I am currently a senior at Prairie Ridge and I am 100% going to McHenry county college next year I plan on getting my associates in forensics and photography and moving to Orlando and becoming a crime scene investigator. I love children and I've worked around them since I was 13 years old I love going to the gym and I love being around my friends and family. I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I’ve been around children since I was 13, and I find it really rewarding to build connections with them and be someone they feel comfortable with. Whether it’s playing games, helping with routines, or just making them smile, it’s something I truly enjoy doing.I have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I babysat for a family with three kids (ages 3, 5, and 3 months), where I helped with daily care, playtime, and routines. I also worked at Jump Zone as a party host, where I supervised children and made sure they were safe while having fun. Most recently, I worked at 2 Hours of Freedom, where I continued supervising and interacting with kids in an active environment. These experiences helped me learn how to manage groups of children and adapt to different personalities and needs.I have strong communication and patience when working with children, and I’m good at staying calm and responsible in different situations. I’m experienced in supervising kids, keeping them safe, and creating fun activities for them. I’m also very reliable, organized, and comfortable handling multiple children at once. In addition, I stay active and energetic, which helps me keep up with kids and engage with them in a positive way.
