A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Sabrina. I'm a college student looking for a job for over the summer. I've worked with kids my entire life, from being a full time nanny for over two years to coaching children's gymnastics and babysitting (I will provide a reference from my last nanny job upon request). When your kids are with me, you can count on them being fully engaged and having lots of fun! I love planning activities, going outside and doing crafts. I am open to providing meals, doing light cleaning or working in a house with pets. I also have a car, so I'm happy to help with any pickups, drop offs, errands or anything else that requires reliable transportation. I am looking to work part time, but will have a flexible schedule. Overall, I'm an energetic, dedicated, reliable caregiver that would make a wonderful addition to your household. Please feel free to reach out with any further questions!

~Summer-time Nanny~

Hi my name is Abby Cooney I have always had a passion for working with children. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a babysitter and camp counselor while in high school and throughout college. I cared for newborn babies all the way up to a child in 8th grade. I followed my passion by majoring in Early Childhood Education at the University of Dayton. After graduation, I accepted a position as at Chicago Public Schools as a Preschool Teacher for the last seven years! In my free time I love to support my favorite Chicago sports teams, go on hikes with my dog Mochi and do yoga!

Looking to work Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the summer, starting the first week of July! Please reach out if you are interested :)

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.
