Jennyfer L., Nanny in Wauconda, IL 60084 with 8 years of paid experience

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 my name is Samantha, I usually go by Sam.  I live in Beach Park,IL, I have lived here for about 5 years. Currently I am a student in college pursuing a nursing degree.  I also work at a before and afterschool daycare with children ranging from kindergarten to fourth grade as a teachers assistant.  I am looking for a full time job to replace the company I work for now.  Although I have worked with kids of all ages, I am most comfortable with toddlers and up.  I love to work with children, playing games, sports, doing homework, playing outside,  arts and crafts and  I am very active!  I also spent last summer teaching swim lessons for toddlers.  Ive worked with children for about 7 years now and its something I have always enjoyed.

To whom it may concern I am writing to express my interest in the position of Nanny. I understand from your ad you are looking for an experienced, qualified, and caring nanny. I meet all your listed requirements and believe would make a good nanny. I have years of experience as a nanny for two families. In addition to two full-time nanny positions, I have worked as a preschool and daycare teacher with children from infants to 4 and 5 years old. I love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding than taking care of them. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organizational and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. I completed a CPR and First Aid training . I believe such knowledge is important and can be a life saver. I am deeply interested in working for you, and hope you will give me a chance to meet you in person to discuss my candidacy in detail. By the way, my last nanny job was for a wonderful family in Glencoe . I stayed with them for six and a half years. Dorota Zukowski

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.

Janely B., Nanny in Wauconda, IL 60084 with 0 years of paid experience

Hi Parents! My name is Janely Barrera I am 24 years old, and I live in Round Lake, IL. I’m a mom of two young boys, ages 5 and a one year old (he turns 2 in October). I graduated from Lake Forest High School and have experience in early childhood education through the tech campus program. I also completed a job-shadowing experience at a daycare near the hospital in Lake Forest. Additionally, I have gained valuable experience caring for my nieces and nephews, as well as from my own experiences as a mom. I also have experiences with any pets I have two cats and a dog at home ☺️ I took a break from my education to focus on being a full-time mom, but earlier this year, I graduated from esthetician school at Tricoci University of Beauty to get my state license and pursue my dream and also make everyone feel beautiful around me. I am eager to gain experience as a babysitter or nanny for families as a second full time job. Currently, I work part-time at Chick-fil-A in Crystal Lake taking a break to get more experience in childcare. I am available Mon-Friday 5pm-10pm weekends 5am-5pm I have experience caring for children aged 0-10 years, with a particular focus on infants and toddlers aged 2-5. I am currently working on obtaining my CPR and First Aid certification. I have my own car and maintain a clean driving record. My skills include meal preparation, diaper changes, giving baths, playtime, engaging activities, sleep strategies, and organization. I am attentive to detail, patient, and enjoy building connections with children of all personalities. I will care for them like they are my own babies! I will make sure they are always safe and most importantly having an awesome time! I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family! Feel free to reach out to set up a call or send me an email at J.barrera44@icloud.com.

Karen R., Nanny in Wauconda, IL 60084 with 15 years of paid experience

  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 for just moved to another state. they have provided with an excellent letter of recommendation which I will bring to the interview I have been doing as needed child care until I can find another job. 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.

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!!
