We are from Louisiana and were in Chicago two weekends in a row a for back to back weddings. Takiyah spent four long evenings with my 14 month old daughter over both weekends for Fri. rehearsal dinners/ Sat. weddings. She had to travel 45 minutes to our location the first weekend and an hour the second and she was very prompt all 4 days. She was really wonderful with our daughter, who we had never left with a sitter before and had a bit of stranger danger. She was very patient, calm and gentle and when we returned, Lucy was always well fed and sleeping well- Takiyah was very good about sticking to our nighttime routine and getting her to bed on time. I was also appreciative she was available on somewhat short notice and was flexible about the time we returned home every night. It was such a relief to find such a reliable, quality sitter amidst the stress of lots of travel & activity for these wedding weekends- couldn't thank her enough. Highly recommend her and believe she would be good with many different age groups.

I've been a nanny/babysitter since I was 18. I'm now 35 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 Monday through Friday 9am-230pm. I could be available on the afternoon/evening as long as my son can come with some days. For the summer he would need to come with everyday. Ideally looking for something part time for the summer

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.

Pricila is a rare find. She is a wonderful person who is extremely competent at what she does. She is very patient, understanding, and kind to the littles (1-3). Our kids LOVE her and got excited when she came around. She effortlessly worked with our autistic son and was able to communicate with him and help him out when he was struggling. We'd hire Pricila again in a heartbeat.

My daughter is usually very shy but she was instantly comfortable with Linda. I could not have asked for a better sitter, we will definitely be using her again!

Nanny with experience | Care, development and respect for the child 🤍 Hello dear Parents. My name is Nadiia and I am an experienced nanny who loves to work with children I know the age characteristics of children well, I understand that age crises are the norm, I accept all the emotions of the child and help him to live them calmly and without pressure. I work according to the regime, support and develop the child's self-esteem, praise for the efforts, not just for the result. I use the game at work, because the game is the main tool for the child's development. I never raise my tone, even in difficult situations, I care about the safety of the child. I am looking for full-time or part-time employment, hourly work, as well as the possibility of shift work. I work with an individual approach to each child, providing a calm, warm and safe atmosphere. My strengths: kind, attentive and patient, punctual and responsible, energetic, easily find a common language with children, respect the personal boundaries of the child, spend time cheerfully and usefully, cook deliciously. I have extensive practical experience and recommendations from previous families. Always in touch with parents to solve organizational issues.

Patricia A.

I have a genuine passion for working with children, backed by both personal and professional experience. As a parent of five, I’m very familiar in the joys and challenges of raising kids, and this has given me a solid foundation in understanding their needs. Professionally, I’ve spent over two years babysitting, caring for a toddler and a baby, and I was also a nanny for two years before that. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m also fluent in Spanish which is my first language. My previous role, which I held for more than two years, allowed me to develop strong multitasking skills and a strong ability to stay attentive to each child’s needs. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my experience, enthusiasm, and bilingual skills to a new family.
