A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Livia Karlstrom, I am 24 years old and I have been working in childcare since highschool. I volunteered at summer camps as a teenager, nannied two toddlers in 2021, and then perused a bachelors in elementary education where I studied in the field with various age ranges, and worked part time at a nursery school. I then completed a student teaching position in 2025, and have spent the last school year teaching intervention to 1st-8th graders. I have nannied and babysat here and there throughout all of these experiences, and I can truly say that childcare is my niche! I enjoy the routines and teaching moments that come with the job, and I look forward to working with some new kiddos this summer!

Hi! My name is Grace Blanchard. I’m 23 years old and in my 3rd year post graduating college. I just recently moved to the city this past May but originally from Southern Illinois.

I am looking for an end of school year / summer job in being a nanny. I am currently a 5th grade reading teacher at an elementary school here in Chicago. Before this, I taught 1st grade for two school years in Aurora, Colorado. This will be my 3rd year as a classroom teacher. I am not currently CPR or First Aid certified, but I am willing to get certified as soon as possible. I have multiple years of experience in working with children. In high school, I taught tumbling lessons to 7/8 year olds. In college I worked for an after school program as the co-leader for preschool aged students, and I also worked at my college’s University School for Young Children.

Thank you!

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.
