Find experienced nannies in Crystal Lake, IL

Hi, I have worked at a daycare and I also worked at Summit School. I love working with children and love to see them grow and progress in their life. I also babysat for about the last almost 4 years for two children and an infant. I have taken training classes and I am CPR certified.

  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 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!

Hello! I'm a current college student at the University of Illinois at Springfield. I am studying Social Work with a minor in Child Advocacy. During the school year, I work at the campus daycare. For the past two years, I typically worked with infants to three years. I have experience with all ages and have volunteered at after school programs. For the past four years I have worked at The Centre of Elgin. I am a manager at the pool, I teach swim lessons, and have my first aid and CPR certification. I enjoy working with kids and am very artsy craftsy as well.

I love kids, I’ve worked for Kiddie Academy daycare. I’ve taken child development classes in college.I have been babysitting for a long time. I have a passion for children.I would like to be a pediatrician nurse in the future. I am patient and caring always! I know french, Spanish and English. I was in choir!! I play 7 instruments! My side job is photography. I can provide references of previous babysitting jobs if needed. I was in soccer, lacrosse, cross country and track through highschool and middle school, so with older kiddos I can practice/play with them. With my younger babies/toddler I like to read to them, interact with them, I have also been a speech therapist assistant so I can help with some learning! Aside from that I like to treat all my kiddos with love. As well as I am a mother myself! Thank you!

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 Kris, I am a student at Butler university. I am a certified EMT so i am currently certified in CPR and using an AED. I have been babysitting for almost 4 years now with kids ranging from 2 months - 15 years old. I enjoy playing with kids, reading with them or any crafts. I can also help out with any house chores or errands that need to be done. I can cook clean and do any tasks that are needed to be done :)) I am happy to give you recommendation letters from other sitters I have sat for before. Can’t wait to meet you!

I have been working with children my whole life, as well as raising two children of my own. I have a BS in psychology/child development from U of I, and have been a nanny, preschool teacher, child development specialist, and director of a preschool. I can’t imagine a more rewarding field. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! *Please note: Due to an immunocompromised family member, I am unable to provide sick care. Your transparency with any illness in the household is important. Thank you!

I am a current teacher, and former nanny with a degree in Elementary Education! I love kids and provide a fun energetic atmosphere for kids. :) I'm looking to get back in the nannying scene as I miss the one on one care. 

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy helping families feel supported and giving children a safe, fun, and nurturing environment to grow in. Being part of a child's development and seeing their personality blossom is incredibly rewarding. I also see this as a valuable opportunity to build on my experience as I work toward a long-term career in childcare. I have hands-on experience caring for my two nieces, ages 9 and 2, who I’ve babysat consistently throughout their lives. Living with them has given me a deep understanding of different stages of childhood. In addition, I’ve babysat for other families on multiple occasions, which has helped me become flexible and confident in different family settings. I’m currently in the process of renewing my First Aid and CPR certification to ensure I’m fully prepared for any situation. I'm patient, reliable, and very attentive to the unique needs of each child. Whether it’s helping with homework, engaging in creative play, or managing routines, I strive to be as helpful and supportive as possible for both the kids and their parents. I hope to meet you soon!
