A little bit about me

I have been caring for children since I was 12 years old and have experience with children ranging from newborns to 12 years old. For the past 5 years, I have worked as a full-time nanny for one family, a role I have truly loved and taken great pride in. As both children will be attending school full-time beginning in the 2026 school year, my time with them is coming to a natural close. Starting in June, I am looking to transition into a new position with a family seeking reliable and loving care.

I also have experience working with children with special needs and am happy to assist with homework, after-school activities, and daily routines. I love to cook and can help with meal prep as needed. I am responsible, dependable, and organized, while still being a kid at heart. I enjoy crafts, games, coloring, and spending time outdoors. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel supported and encouraged to grow.

A little bit about me

Hi!! My name is Sophie Kaegi!
I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old (I’m 21 now), and I have experience caring for children ranging from 10 months to 12 years old. When I’m not at school, I have worked as a camp counselor at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, where I teach kids ages 4–6 how to sing, dance, and act.
Outside of babysitting, I love performing, staying active, and spending time outdoors—especially when the weather is nice! I’m very family- and friend-oriented, and when I’m home, I cherish every moment I get to spend with my loved ones. I’m outgoing, compassionate, and always eager to help. I’m also comfortable with pets and I have a background in dog-sitting (I have a dog and a cat), have my driver’s license (clean record) and a reliable car, and I’m fully vaccinated. I am in the process of renewing my CPR certification!

A little bit about me

My name is Elle, I’m 22 years old and I just graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies - Child Development. I began college with an Elementary Education degree. For my first 3 years I took education and teach classes along with clinicals in elementary classrooms. I switched my major because I’d like to go into social work to ultimately work with DCFS one day. I participated in the Early Childhood program at Palatine High School where I got to be apart of the Pirate Pete Preschool from 19’-22’.
I’ve babysat kids and worked summer camps since I was around 15. Some of my favorite things to do with the kiddos is arts + crafts, going outside, the park, the pool, board games, dress up, video games, make up/ self care, playing with dolls or cars and so much more! I’m high energy but I can also wind down and relax with the kids. I’m open to over nights depending on the day as well!

Recent reference

"Our kids LOVE Elizabeth and think that she hangs the MOON literally. She was my go-to sitter last summer, and as needed, she drove my kids to various activities; they even would go to Six Flags because I can't ride the roller coasters anymore. She even kept our kids over three nights for a work trip when Grandma cancelled at the last minute. She's very thoughtful and driven. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family."
