A little bit about me
Hi! I am an infant career nanny! I am on the lookout for my next placement in the city with a family with an infant. I'm available to start in early October. I have experience with infants and toddlers beginning at 3 months, as well as nanny shares and sibling care. I am up to date on my CPR/First aid certification, and I have taken courses in beginners ASL and newborn care! I am passionate about early literacy through reading, singing, and talking to your baby about our day. I love to plan developmentally appropriate activities and outings as babies grow and I have experience with forming/joining playgroups with other nannies and caregivers! Light, baby-related housework, meal planning & prep, and baby bedroom/playroom organization are included in my flat rate! I'd love to support your baby and your growing family's needs. Please reach out if you'd like to talk more!

"When we began the search for a nanny we’d hoped to find someone that fit into our lives like family, and then we found Kya! Not only did Kya love our kids, but she provided expert care and guidance that helped take stress off us as parents. She helped with baby led weaning, made sure our infant was meeting all milestones, and always provided fun and engaging activities."

I'm a student in the Chicago area obtaining my master's in social work. I'm seeking part-time to occasional nanny work as I manage online classes and work at a behavioral services clinic. My background is in psychology at Lake Forest College. I was a preschool teacher at Advocate Condell for a few years before turning to full-time nanny work while taking cooking classes. I was training as baker to become pastry chef, so have plenty of culinary knowledge and meal planning. I decided to get back into psychology with my new internship and hope to find a great family to help in the journey.

I have been taking care of kids for most of my life! Whether it’s babysitting or lifeguarding, I genuinely love caring for little ones and helping them learn new skills. I am qualified to teach swim lessons to children of all ages and enjoy keeping kids active, engaged, and having fun.
I graduated from Loyola University Chicago with my BFA in Visual Communications and worked as a full-time graphic designer for a year before transitioning into freelance work. My background is very hands-on and creative, which translates naturally into fun art projects, learning activities, and imaginative play with children.
I lived in Rome from [phone number hidden] and have made Chicago my home since. I also speak conversational Italian and Spanish. I’m excited to build a consistent, caring relationship with a family and would love to support your children’s growth this year!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Annie. I spent six years as an au pair for two families, one in Highland Park here in Chicago and one in San Francisco, caring for kids from newborn all the way up to sixteen. Before that I was a summer camp counselor.
I’m originally from Austria, and I trained in culinary and hospitality there, so cooking is a big part of how I take care of people. I’m also a designer, which means a lot of art projects, drawing and messy creative afternoons with the kids.
I’m warm but I do hold boundaries, because kids feel safest when they know what to expect. I drive, I’m comfortable running the household side of things, and I genuinely love the daily rhythm of it: school runs, snacks, homework, rehearsals, bedtime.
Mostly I just really like kids. Six years in, that hasn’t changed.
