Find nannies in Chicago, IL

I moved to Chicago recently and have been searching for the perfect nanny / childcare job. I’ve babysat for many families over the past seven years and worked with kids anywhere from nine months to eleven years, both in professional and personal settings. In an academic sense I’ve worked multiple school or curriculum based jobs throughout my adult life. I moved my way up as a teacher’s assistant to a stand-in head teacher at Pipster Prep Preschool in Portland, OR, where I worked and taught preschool for over two years. I aided in curriculum planning and last-minute creative projects that were both entertaining and enriching. In 2019 I worked as a camp counselor for a summer arts camp. I assisted in and ran the World Arts tent. During my time at Willowbrook I helped design lesson plans, craft ideas, set up, and did my absolute best to tailor an environment to foster and support each and every kid. (ages 8-12) In 2025 I took up a nannying gig on a homestead in Damascus, OR. Here, I not only assisted both WFH parents in caring for their 4 year old and 9 month old, but also helped out around the house. I did whatever I could to ease up their days; washed dishes, cleaned the kitchen, swept, vacuumed, tidied, made dinner. I loved the flexibility and variety of this job, I got a wonderful sense of what it was like to be a part of their family and understand the inner workings of their care system so I could provide the best possible stand-in care for their kids. I would pick the 4 year old up from school, or care for the 9 month old and mealprep while the parents went to pick up the 4 year old. I learned how to work in tandem with a family unit and could make myself useful without instruction. I believe working with children is the most genuine way to release adult ego. We can learn just as much from kids as they can from us. I love seeing the world through the lens of a kid. The phrase “it takes a village” is everything to me. Working with children is a gateway into true human connection and altruism. We’re meant to love and nurture those who are still growing, and it’s an honor to be a part of the symbiosis that aids that growth. I am CPR certified alongside having taken over ten hours of certified child safety and early childhood development courses and workshops. I’ve worked as an assistant preschool teacher, camp counselor, babysitter, and nanny. I’ve cared for kids from 9 months to 11 years, and worked as an art tutor for kids ages 10 to 15.

Hello! My name is Janiya, and I am looking for a long term family in need of a trustworthy and dedicated nanny. I was born and raised in Chicago and have lived all over the city! Being the eldest daughter in a large family I've had my fair share of caretaking, as well as 4+ years of paid sitting experience. I am comfortable with all ages ranging from newborns to teens and up to 3 children at once. My experience largely lies with caring for infants into toddlerhood and beyond. I am punctual, patient, energetic, kind and genuinely enjoy helping children learn and grow. Becoming an integral member to families is very rewarding. About myself, I am a very active and passionate person. I spent 7 years with my Girl Scout troop where we sold enough cookies to take a trip around Europe! I spent 6 years attending Montrose beach's Jr. lifeguard camp where I became CPR certified, and have been certified again since. I also played 8 years of competitive club/school volleyball where my career ended because of the pandemic. The list goes on! I am an experienced driver with a clean record as well. Please keep in touch if you are interested in chatting further!
