About Kelleen

Experience: 10 yrs

While raising my three daughters in the Chicago area, I ran an unlicensed daycare. I raised our neighborhood. I have since been blessed with three grandchildren who range in age of 2-6 years old. In June I stayed with them for 10 days while my daughter and her husband traveled to Spain. We had a blast! I will be returning in October to care for them for 5 days. I can't wait. I have a deep love for all children. They warm my heart.

If I could give Ms. Kelly more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. She came into our lives when our oldest was just 6 months old, and now he’s 4. Just 5 months after she started with us, we welcomed another baby, and I truly do not know how we would have gotten through those years without her. She was the steady, loving presence that kept our family afloat during the busiest and most exhausting seasons of life. From day one, she treated our children with genuine love, patience, and care. I never once had to worry about whether my boys were fed, safe, entertained, nurtured, or emotionally cared for because Ms. Kelly handled everything with so much thoughtfulness and experience. She made our home feel calmer, lighter, and more manageable in a way that is hard to put into words. What sets her apart is not just how dependable and hardworking she is, but how deeply she bonds with the children she cares for. Our boys absolutely adore her. Even now, after recently becoming a stay at home mom again following the birth of our newest baby, we still have Ms. Kelly come help because the boys constantly ask for her and because she has truly become family to us. Finding someone you trust with your children is priceless, and Ms. Kelly is that rare person who exceeds every expectation. She is warm, trustworthy, intuitive, incredibly capable, and has the kind of heart every parent hopes for in a caregiver. Any family fortunate enough to have her in their lives will quickly understand why we cannot recommend her highly enough. She is truly one of the best decisions we ever made for our family.
