Booked by 7 families in Maywood, IL

For the past 20 years I have been entrusted to nurture newborns, to help preschoolers learn their numbers and letters, to organize fun activities, educational outgoings and to help families balance the many demands in their lives. As a mother of four children myself, I have always been privileged to help young people grow and learn. I continue to find this kind of work to be my labor of love.

Kareena showed up early and jumped right in. She’s incredibly experienced and gave us tons of tips on things that have worked for her in the past. I can’t wait to have her come back! Our son loved her immediately.

Hi! I am a college student majoring in Accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have been a swim instructor for kids under the age of 12 for a year and I have tutored children how to play piano for 2-3 years. I am very social, patient and fun and have loved my teaching jobs and would like to move onto babysitting kids and taking care of pets as well! I love arts and crafts, games, fun activities, teaching, animals and walks! I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and an intermediate German speaker. My mom has been a full time nanny for 15 years and I have learned a lot on how to be an excellent babysitter!

Katie was wonderful with our twin 7 year old boys!
