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’m an outdoors enthusiast with a love for staying active and playing sports. My favorite place to be is in or on the water!! Whether that’s a pool, beach or a cool river. I have many hobbies, so I am always entertaining myself. I have two dogs who keep me company on all my adventures. I’m excited to bring my love for nature, activity, and fun into my nanny work.

"Heather is an amazing child whisperer! She was the preschool teacher for both of my children and has occasionally babysat. She is the incredibly mix of sweet and loving with boundaries that make a child care provider so great."

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Khali — a compassionate, adventure-ready Nanny and Family Assistant with 12+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through teenage years. I bring a rare blend of professional childcare expertise, global perspective, and holistic education.
I'm Montessori-trained, a certified RYT-500 Yoga Teacher with 4+ years teaching kids yoga and mindfulness, and CPR/First Aid certified. Worked with high-profile families in NY and SF, co-founded orphanage schools in Uganda, designed youth curricula across Africa, and created my own children's martial arts and yogic camp in Ecuador.
I seamlessly blend attentive, nurturing childcare with organized household management — meal planning, scheduling, travel prep, and everything in between. I'm health-conscious, punctual, tidy, and deeply reliable. I'm show up fully — with warmth, creativity, and a grounded presence that children genuinely connect with. Available for full-time, live-in arrangements and open to relocating immediately.
