Nanny Ashley

"She had a great energy and was always team-oriented. She was particularly great with customers and went the extra mile to make someone’s day; she would bring in treats to give to those who had dogs, she would draw cute animals on cups that went out to kids, stuff like that."

- James

Nanny Dashia

"Daisha is still currently works with me and my daughter really likes when she comes over. I have enjoyed working with her and will continue to do so. She is very patient with my daughter as she is autistic so she works well with her and follows any and all directions that I leave for her to follow. Thank you!"

How to Hire an After-School Nanny in Illinois

Nanny Lane helps you find an after-school nanny in Illinois who can look after your children once the school day ends.

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 an After-School Nanny?

An after-school nanny cares for school-age children on weekday afternoons, usually from school pickup until a parent gets home. It is a part-time role with a regular schedule, which suits nannies who want a consistent shorter day.

Common Responsibilities of After-School Nannies in Illinois

After-school nannies pick up children from school or the bus stop, give them a snack, and help with homework. They also take children to activities and lessons, supervise play, and may prepare dinner or tidy up after the children before a parent arrives.

What to Consider Before You Hire

Share your school's dismissal time, the days you need care, and how you will handle early dismissals, holidays, and school breaks. Confirm whether you need the nanny to drive, and whether they would be comfortable transporting several children. A regular schedule makes it easier to find a good fit.

After-School 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:

Are you available at our school's dismissal time every weekday?
Do you have a car, and are you comfortable driving children to activities?
How would you handle homework and screen time?
What would you do if a child was sick or hurt?
Do you have experience with school-age children?

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.
