A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Sydney. I have a passion for working with children of all ages and currently have 7 years of childcare experience. I began working with children while I was in college as a teaching assistant in the university day care. While working in the day I worked with the infants and continued to work with them until they were four years old. Post college I went on to working I a clinic providing therapy to children with autism. I currently hold a masters degree in applied behavior analysis with an emphasis on autism. During my time at the clinic I worked with children as young as 2 to as old as 13. Currently I am a high school special education teaching assistant. When I am not working you can usually find me reading a good book, eating good food or traveling to Michigan for a weekend. I look forward to hearing from you!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am a big believer of enriching activities when I am working with children. I believe the best way to help development is to allow children to explore naturally and diversely. Some of my favorite activities include sensory friendly arts and crafts, outdoor play time including park and pool visits as well as educational activities such as puzzles.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Ensuring that the children are being provided a healthy, happy and loving environment while they are in my care!

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with children with special needs for the past 5 years. Post college graduation I received my certification to be a registered behavior technician and provided therapy to children diagnosed with autism. I went on to gain my master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis with an emphasis in autism. I currently work as a special education teaching assistant!

Sophie K. - Seeking Work in Palatine

Full-Time Nanny Available in Palatine, IL: Sophie K.

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!
