A little bit about me
I’ve spent the past 14+ years working with children of all ages from newborns to middle schoolers teaching, caring, and supporting their growth every step of the way. I have experience overseeing daycares, providing infant and toddler care, and applying child development principles to create safe, nurturing, and fun environments where kids can thrive.
I’m a Catholic grade school teacher and currently working toward my Master’s in Education. I’m available for babysitting now and would love to find a caring, fun family to nanny for in Summer 2026!
I also offer tutoring for PreK–8th grade in all subjects, tailoring lessons to each child’s learning style and helping kids build confidence and curiosity

A little bit about me
My name is Marisa and I am a 24 year old special education teacher! I teach full time throughout the school year (August - early June). Due to my schedule, I am seeking out a family in Chicago who will need a part time nanny for summer 2024.
Alongside my teaching experience, I have many other years involving child care - babysitting since I was 15 years old, worked for NWSRA as an inclusion aide assisting special needs participants, was a family coordinator for NWSRA, a summer camp counselor, and a middle school tutor.
I am comfortable with all different kids of children, will provide meal prep, light housekeeping, and transportation if necessary.

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.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
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.
