Compare monthly costs for child care
*Cost estimations are based on an even split nanny share, the average cost of daycare, and a full-time nanny at $16/h in downtown Chicago.

Nanny shares, the best of both worlds
The Sylvester Family
We chose a nanny share because it allowed us to make sure that our child was getting great, individual attention from a person that we could trust while helping us to manage costs. We couldn't afford to have one nanny, and found another family that was in a similar situation and shared our values.Learn about nanny sharing

A little bit about me
My name is Heron Yosief Haile. I grew up in a large family and was the family babysitter during family events. I have experience with kids of all ages from infancy to 18+ both with a verified agency and private clients. I can cook, tutor, am First AID/CPR certified for all ages. I have a variety of interests which allows me to easily bond with people. I prefer to let the kids no matter their age guide our activities within age-appropriate and parental parameters as I believe that agency is important everyone. I am an effective communicator, respectful, and patient.

"Heron was a phenomenal employee. She took great care of our son, always coming up with fun and exciting activities and giving him a lot of delicate care and love. Our son had special medical needs and she learned how to care for him quickly. She was humble, and willing to dig in and learn special medical instructions, breastmilk instructions, and other house management tasks such as baby laundry, dishes, etc. She always listened to our instructions and requests. She was reliable and dependable. You can tell she truly loves children by the love and care she puts into watching them. I would definitely recommend Heron as a nanny."

"Teacher Jayna was my girls' swim instructor. My children are very people cautious but they warmed up to her quickly. By the end of our 6 week session, Teacher Jayna was a constant mention in our household.
With my children, Jayna was warm, patient and knew how to connect with them by playing games and making the swim session fun. We were sad when our time ended but will be back to look for her when we are ready to swim again."

"“Honey” (Alexandria) is the best! We adore her. She is so fun, always singing, dancing and brings thoughtful toys and activities for the kids based on their interests. She is very reliable, always on time and follows schedules well. It’s clear that she is truly enjoying her time as a babysitter and it’s not just a job for her. I was forced to choose an end date for this review but hopefully we can continue to use her for many years to come!"
