A little bit about me
I’m Nkanyezi (“Star”), a professional nanny and house manager with 23 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and multiples across Chicago and its suburbs. I combine nurturing, attentive childcare with smooth household management, giving parents peace of mind. A certified newborn and infant specialist, I’m skilled in feeding (bottle/breastfed), sleep safety, diaper routines, and developmental milestones. I excel with twins and triplets, balancing sibling needs with patience and structure. For toddlers, I encourage social growth through sensory play, enrichment classes, storytime, and outdoor exploration, always with parent approval. I manage child-related tasks—laundry, meals, nursery organization—plus grocery shopping and family logistics, communicating clearly with parents. Known for safety, calm, and flexibility, I anticipate needs, adapt to changing schedules, and bring trusted, glowing references.

A little bit about me
30 year old living in the Gold Coast- due to COVID, I took extra precautions and decided to postpone looking for a position as a nanny. As every family would probably agree, it has been a challenging year, and I have decided to resume my search as I recognize now is a critical time for those needing help with their child/children. I am a few credits shy of my education degree but came to Chicago to persue a degree in child psychology at DePaul, with an emphasis in special needs- ranging from behavioral issues to cognitive issues.
I only have one nanny job listed here as the rest of my work with children has been in a professional setting. Most recently, I was a nanny to a wonderful 2 year old boy prior to the family moving away from Chicago. I am looking to work in the city or have a reasonable commute with the next family I work for.
I love being outdoors, photography, weather, writing, visiting home (Door County, WI), running, cooking, gardening, and working with kids.

A little bit about me
I'm a fun-loving, creative, nuturing child care professional who has been working with kids for over 10 years now. I've worked with children of all ages, backgrounds, and needs over the past years. I’ve supported families long term through mental and behavioral crisis’, private family changes that have involved travel and temporary moving to help, showing adaptability, grace, and safe spaces for children first always.
While I have plenty of experience with elementary to middle school age children, my sweet spot is with infants and beyond. Currently, I am finishing up the sweetest full time infant care position through Chicago Super Sitters ending the last week of February :)
My availability will be flexible after this as I am currently focusing my free time on completing Doula certification. Ideally I’d love another temporary full time position, but would consider long term contracts with the right family. Please reach out with any questions or references!
