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.
