Compare monthly costs for child care
*Cost estimations are based on an even split nanny share, the average cost of daycare, and a full-time nanny at $16/h in downtown Chicago.

Nanny shares, the best of both worlds
The Sylvester Family
We chose a nanny share because it allowed us to make sure that our child was getting great, individual attention from a person that we could trust while helping us to manage costs. We couldn't afford to have one nanny, and found another family that was in a similar situation and shared our values.Learn about nanny sharing

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Lainey! I have over a year and a half of hands-on experience working with children of all ages as a Children’s Program Specialist at a rock climbing gym! I created a well-structured, engaging, and nurturing environment that helped children build confidence, have fun, and stay safe. I also have one-on-one babysitting experience for family and friends, giving me a strong foundation in personalized care.
I have led countless birthday parties, helping parents feel supported and stress-free during high-energy celebrations with a genuine love of building relationships with both children and their families.
Having grown up with a nanny, I know firsthand the value of a kind, reliable caregiver. I would love the opportunity to bring that same positive impact to your family and be a trusted, enthusiastic presence in their lives.
As a 4.0 graduate who is currently enrolled in online courses I can also provide tutoring services in several subjects!

"Lainey worked with me at as an employee of a climbing gym, though we are unique in that we cater to kid-specific climbing sessions as well as birthday parties ranging from 5-30 kids. Lainey is one of if not the best person I have on staff when it comes with connecting with children and making them feel comfortable trying something might potentially be new and intimidating to them. She has a way of talking at their level without being patronizing, never hesitating to make herself look silly to make the kids feel more comfortable. She is able to switch between professional with the parents as needed and become the children's friend as the situation calls for. On duty she is actively lifeguarding them while they participate in pretty strenuous and challenging physical activity. Lainey is able to help them through their frustrations while ensuring they're exploring their boundaries in a safe space. I was lucky to her on staff and would recommend her anywhere !"

A little bit about me
My name is Debra, and I bring 29 years of experience in early childhood care and education. I owned and operated an award-winning licensed daycare and preschool, caring for infants to 12 years of age. I ran my program for 28 years before closing it in May 2023 to relocate to Orange County. I continued my work with children as the Head Infant Teacher at McDowell School in Orange County from 2023 to 2024. I have hands on experience with children of all ages I'm known for my calm, patient, and nurturing nature. I’m highly organized, energetic, and truly passionate about creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. I bring joy and dedication to everything I do and love making each day fun and meaningful for the children in my care. In my free time, I enjoy relaxing at the beach, going on cruises, and spending time with my 2 adult children and bonus daughter in law. I'm excited for the opportunity to continue my career as a Nanny in Orange County Ca.

"Debra worked in my family daycare for one year, after which I helped her establish her own family daycare. She was also my student at Vanguard University in Costa Mesa. I highly recommend Debbie as a knowledgeable professional in child development practices and as a compassionate, loving childcare provider."
