Find an after school nanny in Chicago, IL

I have been working on and off in childcare simce I was in early high school! I was trained by the red cross in Babysitting and standard CPR/ First Aid and have kept up with my certification. I love engaging kids in their imaginations as I am in the creative world myself. I am also passionate about being active and love games and activities that involve movement. I know the importance of good communication and always make that my top priority when it comes to working with families. I believe that trust is built on effective communication. I am a very energetic and bubbly person, so I really love talking with kids and bringing them out of their shells!

Hi! I’m Tiana, a teacher and longtime lover of working with kids. I am currently a licensed special education teacher and have experience working with children across a variety of ages, personalities, and needs. Working with kids is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, organized, and used to handling everything from big emotions and busy schedules to homework help and keeping kids entertained. I’m also comfortable working with children who have different learning styles or additional needs. I believe babysitting should be more than simply supervising children, so I enjoy getting to know each child and finding activities that they genuinely enjoy. I’m happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, playtime, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and whatever else makes your family’s routine a little easier. I’m also comfortable following parents’ routines and expectations because I know every family does things a little differently. Outside of teaching, I recently got married and moved to Chicago with my husband. I love spending time with family and friends, cooking, exploring the city, and being outdoors. I’m a warm, dependable, and easygoing person, but I also understand the importance of structure and boundaries when caring for children. Most importantly, I want parents to feel completely comfortable knowing their children are in good hands. I’ll treat your home and your family with respect and care, and I’ll do my best to make your kids feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away!

I am a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children ages 0–16. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children in a wide range of settings, including daycares, preschools, elementary schools, summer camps, and private homes. My background includes full-time nannying, babysitting, and occasional travel with families, as well as experience supporting children with special needs. In addition to childcare, I offer dependable household support such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, organization, and maintaining daily routines. I also provide homework help and academic support, helping children stay on track while building confidence and independence. I take pride in building strong, long-lasting relationships with the families I work with. My very first nanny child is now 18 and in college, and I’ve maintained lifelong connections with many of my nanny families. I believe trust, consistency, and communication are the foundation of great childcare. I am patient, reliable, and nurturing, and I strive to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children feel valued and can thrive.
