Sarah C., Nanny in Prospect Heights, IL 60070 with 12 years of paid experience

I am a full-time nanny living in Chicago and I also provide babysitting services on occasion.  I have been helping with childcare for my family since I was 12 years old, as the eldest of five children, three of whom are active boys. I have always enjoyed watching over children and creating a fun, safe environment for my charges.  I have experience with infants, toddlers and preschool children, particularly preschool as I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for my church for six years.  I also did one summer as a camp counselor for a sleep-away camp, which put me in charge of 4-8 kids 22/7.  Some of my favorite activities are reading, drama and games. Generally I am a fun, easygoing sitter who enjoys playing games with the kids and making sure they have what they need.  I tend to be very calm and even tempered, which helps me keep up with high-energy kids.

I only recently met Sarah at an interview to be our nanny, but I was blown away immediately by how well she interacted with our toddler and infant girls. It didnt't work out for us, because of the commute, but she was up front immediately about her concern, and was so professional. She is so kind that she even offered to help us network. Thank you, Sarah, for your kindness, honesty, and extraordinary willingness to help our family! -Kate and Dan

Archana S. provided excellent care for our children. We have a 2 year old and a nearly 4 year old, and Archana has given care for both at once, and one-on-one. She is thorough, dependable, thoughtful and - above all - fun! The kids really enjoyed having her as a caregiver. I will hire her again, and recommend her to you and your children without reservation!

Micaela  G., Nanny in Prospect Heights, IL 60070 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi there! For as long as I can remember, working with children has forever been a part of me. Before covid, I was a special needs swim instructor for 4 years and this was the beginning of my journey. Since then, I have been a nanny for 3 families - each had a year contract. I am experienced in infant care as well as special needs, multiples, and twins. I used to be a lifeguard trainer so I have knowledge in cpr and first aid and I am certified. I recently became a person trainer and have proof of CPR certification upon request. I have scored “expert” in early childhood development assessments. Lastly, I am a kid at heart, so I’ll love any opportunity to help a family that I can be a part of :)

Micaela was our nanny for about a year and a half, caring for our three young boys, ages 5, 3, and 2. She initially joined our family as a temporary nanny while we were transitioning between childcare arrangements, but we quickly grew to love her so much that we brought her on full time. She is truly one of the kindest, most hardworking, respectful, and genuinely caring people I have ever met. The only reason we stopped using her was because I made the decision to stay home full time with our children. Even now, we continue to stay in touch with her because she became such an important part of our family. Professionally, Micaela was exceptional. She was consistently reliable and never once arrived late. Every day, she showed up with enthusiasm, patience, and genuine joy for caring for our energetic boys. She handled challenging situations with a calm and steady presence, always bringing warmth and positivity into our home. I never once questioned her ability to manage whatever the day brought, and she was always flexible and accommodating whenever unexpected work situations came up for us. We love Micaela dearly and truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Our 5 year old took immediately to Isabella and had a great day with her! She was on time, responsible with all that we asked of her and is very quick to respond. Though we'd love to keep her available for our needs(!), I must still must highly recommend her for other families in need. ??

As a single mother, I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Ruth. She strikes the perfect balance of being warm and caring while still maintaining gentle structure and boundaries—something that’s so important with toddlers. My little one absolutely adores her. She’s consistently on time, incredibly reliable, and always proactive when it comes to scheduling, which makes everything so much easier for me. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and I feel completely at ease knowing my child is in her hands. I highly recommend Ruth to any family looking for a trustworthy, nurturing babysitter.

Olga is the best! My daughter lights up and started saying some of her first words- “olgi” being one of them! She’s very attentive and gives my daughter quality one on one time. She does bath time, washes bottles, feeds her etc! She also does occasional date nights too! Highly recommend.
