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

Hi everyone!

My name is Marygrace! I’m a 25 year old woman- looking for a fill time nanny opportunity!

I am from Chicago and currently live in Lakeview East! I have many years of experience, with a large range of ages. From newborn to middle schoolers! My experience ranges from: babying sitting, nannying, lead teacher for toddlers, etc.
I have always been passionate about working with children. I enjoy creating a happy, nurturing environment for them. I also strive to build a good connection with all families I work for.

Additionally, I am more than willing to do extra responsibility as caregiver. Including light house work, meal prep, dog walking and errands. I do not have a car in the city, but do have a license. And am comfortable driving in the city in a provided car.

I would love the chance to meet and see if I am a good match for you and your family!

Best,

Marygrace :)
