A little bit about me
Hiiii! I am Tyionna. A college student attending in Florida. Chicago is my home town and I’m seeking a newer experience because I used to be a barista for Starbucks for 1 year. I am well with kids because I take care of my 3 siblings my own self from time to time when my parents want to go out. I have a bright personality. I don’t have a car unfortunately or know how to drive yet. I mainly am use to public transportation and uber. I’m always home for the summer so if every summer you need a sitter I would be available most likely. Looking forward to taking care of lovely children.

A little bit about me
I have been teaching, mainly preschoolers since 2005. I'm interested in babysitting over the summer, to put the money towards my daughter's private school tuition. I have two children of my own so I would love a position in which I can pick the children up, bring them back to my home, feed them, engage with them and drop them off at home when needed.

Hi! My name is Aileen Balcazar, I'm 19 years old and was born and raised in Chicago, IL. I am currently attending a university in Washington, D.C. to further my education in the Biology field, But I am home for the summer looking for a job. I am partially hearing impaired so I do wear hearing aids and speak fluent in American Sign Language. If that's something you would want your kids to know, I would be more than happy to teach them some ASL. In high school I was on the Honor Roll, and the Deans List for high honors and perfect attendance. I play softball for my University and I love to be active outdoors, I love to be hands on rather than sitting on our bums all day. I'm 100% okay with doing housekeeping, dishes, laundry etc. I have always loved kids, and worked at a preschool as a Teacher Aid, besides my aunt who was the teacher for that classroom. I would love to have a face to face introduction as that would allow both of us to feel more comfortable learning about each other!

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.

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.
