A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Saffron! I'm a full-time public school educator during the school year, where I support children ages 4-18, including learners with disabilities. Before that, I supported youth as a nanny for toddlers and babies, and as a teaching artist at an after-school program for elementary-age (PK-6th) children. Because of my years of experience in diverse public schools like those in CPS, I am well-versed in trauma- and disability-informed de-escalation strategies; I pride myself in being a safe and supportive adult for all children. In my free time, I love to make art--creative kids and I really click!
I am available part-time/as needed until the end of the school year. After the first week of June, I am available full-time.

How to Hire a Summer Nanny in Chicago, IL
Nanny Lane helps you find a summer nanny in Chicago, IL to take care of your children while school is out.

What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Chicago, IL
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
