Search for Nanny or Home Day Care Center

Hello,

I'm the mother of a 4 month old girl who's been searching for a sitter when I go back to work.

I've been off of work since September and will unfortuntately be returning to work in March. I'm looking for someone who is trustworthy, moral, caring, nurturing to care for my daughter. I've become so emotionally attached to her that if quitting my job was a choice, I'll do it in a heartbeat.

Anyway, I'd prefer a nanny but I'm also open to home daycare as well. I reside in Brookfield and my place of employment is in Arlington Heights.

Any recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated for a nanny in surrounding Brookfield area or home daycare center near Arlington Heights would be helpful.

Thanks,

What can I do next?

I am a wohm with 2 and had success using craigslist.com. I posted there and received over 100 emails. From that point, I emailed about 25 people back. I was then able to reduce the number to 10 people that I wanted to speak with via telephone, then 5 that I met with outside of my home. When I met the one I was certain of, she met with my husband and children. Just wanted to make this suggestion in case you were unable to get specific referrals. Good luck!

Victoria,

I had this person recommended to me by my neighbor who has used her for several of her kids (and still does for her youngest). She runs an in-home daycare in Brookfield. We ended up finding someone else near my work for the 1 day/week I needed someone, so we never met her. Our neighbor is very happy with her, though.

I see that you live in Brookfield and work in IT. My husband and I also live in Brookfield and are engineers who work in IT. We have a 14 month old little girl. If ever you want to chat about kid stuff or whatever, feel free to e-mail me.

I met a wonderful woman through Mamasource and liked her enough to want to hire her. We interviewed three and she was our second choice. We hired someone whose hours worked better for us.
Her name is Violet and she speaks Spanish. She understands English but spoke in Spanish. As I said, she was a lovely woman and our family really liked her.
We learned of her through Emperatriz, another Mamasource mom. Empie speaks English and came with Violet to the interview to help translate. Violet is very affordable for in-home care.
She drives and is available. Emperatriz's cell phone number is
###-###-####. She can tell you more. thanks

Hello Victoria,
My nanny is going to be available from the end of Feb. Her name is Petra; she's Czech and she has been wodnerful with my son. She started nannying for me in September when he was 12 months old. The qualities that I like most in her are her patience, gentleness, and sincerity. She is also hardworking, punctual, responsible and trustworthy. She truly wants to do a good job and loves working with children. She also does light housecleaning and chops vegetables for me (so I can start dinner right away) while he naps. I would love to talk to you more about her, if you are interested. Please feel free to call me during the day at work ###-###-####) or at home in the evening ###-###-####).

Hi there! I know how hard and scary it is to search for someone to care for your litte one is. We just started the search an occasional sitter for our 10 month old son. Someone one here suggested I try www.sittercity.com. I did, and LOVE IT!! You do have to pay to sign up. I posted a job on a Friday night, and by Saturday night, I had 16 responses. We interviewed 3 sitters and loved all of them. They came with their First Aid and CPR certificates. Now I have the problem of picking one! Good luck in your search! (They do have nannies on the site)
