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
I was a Paralegal for over 10 yrs, but during lockdown, I decided to go back to school for early childhood education. I obtained my Registered Behavior Therapist (RBT) Certification to teach children on the autism spectrum and pursued that new career path at ACES. My first month on the job, I was awarded Employee of the Month. My second month, they honored me with “Most Creative”.
I use natural opportunities to promote education through playtime. I am always teaching… they just might not know it!
If you are looking for an experienced and reliable caregiver with a great work ethic, attitude, and unyielding patience, I may be the right fit for you! I have a ‘way’ with children. Always have.
I have experience with sleep-training, breast-to-bottle transitioning, and sibling rivalry.
I am flexible. I work WITH you and your child to provide the best support and care possible. I will happily accept direction to better align with your parenting style. Communication is everything!

Recent reference
"I’m very happy to write this reference for Jessi, who has been our nanny for the past two years. She joined our family when my child was an infant and has been an incredibly important part of our lives ever since.
Jessi is deeply engaged with our child and brings so much creativity and thoughtfulness to their days together. She is intentional about play, with a clear focus on development, while still keeping things fun and age-appropriate. It’s obvious how much care she puts into supporting learning, confidence, and emotional growth.
Most importantly, Jessi is incredibly loving. Our child feels safe, supported, and truly cared for in her presence, and the bond they’ve built means everything to us. Any family would be very lucky to have her."
