A little bit about me

Hi! I was born and raised in California, and while the West Coast will always be home, the East Coast has long called to me. I visited Chicago once and felt an immediate connection—it stayed with me in a way no other city has. Now, at a point in my life where I feel the most stable I’ve ever been, it feels like the perfect time to make that transition, experience true city living, and settle into this next chapter with intention.

Professionally, I work remotely as an Account Manager for a luxury consignment company, where I’m immersed in the world of fashion, craftsmanship, and high-end design. I’m drawn to luxury because it values quality, longevity, and attention to detail—principles I naturally bring into childcare as well. Outside of work, I’m a travel enthusiast who enjoys discovering new places, spending time near the beach (which truly has my heart), exploring fashion and design, and embracing new experiences that bring perspective and balance to daily life.

A little bit about me

From a very young age, caring for children has been woven into my life and my heart. As the eldest sister of six, I grew up naturally nurturing, protecting, and guiding little ones, learning patience, responsibility, and unconditional love long before I ever held a professional role in childcare.

Being around children feels like home to me. I cherish their laughter, their curiosity, and their pure way of seeing the world. My greatest joy is creating a safe, gentle, and loving space where every child feels valued, comforted, and truly cared for.

For me, nannying isn’t just a job — it’s a calling rooted in love, compassion, and the belief that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and adored. 💛

A little bit about me

I started working as an assistant teacher in 2021. I worked at Children’s Lighthouse. I instantly loved it. Spending majority of my time with these kids was so rewarding. I started in an infant class and transitioned into a toddler teacher. My daily routine would be start at 8:00am help the lead teacher checked the students in as parents did drop offs. Breakfast was served at 8:30am. Nap time was at 9:00am. As they woke up one by one, we’d get ready for story time. Lunch was served at 11:00am. Circle time was at 12:00pm. We either read books or sang songs. If the weather was pleasant we’d go for walks outside. If not they can go to the gym and play with toys. Snack time was at 4:00pm. Parents would start to pick up around 4:30pm-6:30pm. It didn’t feel like a job to me. I absolutely loved every minute of spending time with these little humans watching them grow into our future leaders.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Zanilyah, and I’ve been surrounded by children my entire life. My grandmother owned a daycare, so I practically grew up in a child care setting. I’m currently a junior at the University of Illinois at Chicago, majoring in Education with a concentration and endorsement in Early Childhood Education. I come from a big family and am the oldest of five siblings and many cousins, so caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I’m also fluent in sign language, as I come from a Deaf family, and I love using it to help children communicate in expressive ways.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Sophia! I recently spent three years in London, where I earned my degree in Fashion Marketing & Management.

Caring for children has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It started at home as an older sister, and in high school I began babysitting for my mother’s friends. From there I worked in the childcare room at The Bar Method, looking after little ones while their parents took class, and I’ve also cared for children at my Catholic church.

I enjoy cooking, getting creative, and learning about history, politics, and the world around me, so expect home-cooked meals, plenty of arts and crafts, and lots of curious conversations. I’m also very detail-oriented: I’m the one who plans the outings, finds the best local events, and makes sure everyone is happy and having a good time.

I’d love to get to know you and your family!

How to Hire a Weekend Nanny in Chicago, IL

Nanny Lane helps you find a weekend nanny in Chicago, IL who fits your family's schedule. Browse profiles of nannies who are available on Saturdays or Sundays, then message the ones you like.

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 Weekend Nanny?

A weekend nanny cares for your children on Saturdays, Sundays, or both. Some weekend nannies work every weekend, and others are available for the occasional weekend when you have an event, a trip, or a work commitment. Many have another job during the week, so they are often flexible about shorter shifts and one-off dates.

Common Responsibilities of Weekend Nannies in Chicago, IL

Weekend care looks a lot like any other nanny job: supervising play, preparing meals and snacks, getting children to activities, and keeping to nap and bedtime routines. Because weekends are often busier and more active, you may also ask for help with outings, birthday parties, sports games, or family errands.

What to Consider Before You Hire

Be clear about the days and hours you need, whether the schedule is regular or occasional, and how much notice you can give. Rates and pay rules, including how weekend hours are paid, vary by state or province, so agree the details in writing and consider using nanny payroll to keep it simple. If you only need a few weekends a year, say so up front so nannies can plan around it.

Weekend 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 weekends are you available, and how much notice do you need?
  • Do you work every weekend or only occasionally?
  • Are you comfortable with outings and activities, and with driving the children if needed?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
  • What rate do you charge for weekend shifts?

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.
