A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Shyanne and I specialize in Early Childhood care. I've been working with children from ages 1-4 for almost four years! I am also currently in school working towards my Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in art at Northeastern IU.
I love working with children as they give such a brighter outlook on life and make the day so much more exciting. I have worked as an assistant teacher for 3 years and worked as a lead for 1 year so far. I believe I have great leadership skills not only for just following/or creating a schedule for children, but for also creating fun activities and a learning experience environment all from home! I am willing to work alongside parents and their personal goals for their kids as I'm determined to help them reach these goals.
Im looking forward to be given such a honorable opportunity!
I'd describe my personality as fun, easy-going and adaptable!
My skills include schedule making, organizing and activity coordinating.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a first-generation college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in social work, and I’m currently pursuing my master’s in school counseling. For the past 3.5 years, I’ve worked with Chicago Public Schools as a college and career coach, helping students build confidence, set goals, and plan for their futures. I also have five years of professional nanny experience. As the oldest of three siblings, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, dependable, creative, and passionate about helping children feel safe and supported. I love sports especially baseball and softball, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and keeping kids active and engaged. I have a reliable car and am very comfortable with pets, I have a Goldendoodle of my own! I would love to become a trusted and caring extension of your family.

A little bit about me
I bring more than just care and reliability to my work as a nanny — I bring creativity, imagination, and heart. I believe childhood should be filled with wonder, exploration, and artistic expression, so I use my background in art to make every day a little brighter and more inspiring. Whether it’s painting, crafting, storytelling, or inventing fun new games, I love creating activities that spark curiosity and help children express themselves.
Alongside my creativity, I’m patient, responsible, and deeply committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel valued and free to be themselves.
I’m the kind of nanny who turns ordinary days into opportunities for learning and laughter — and that’s what makes me stand out.

A little bit about me
the University of Chicago looking for part time nanny/sitter work. I’ve worked as a babysitter, summer camp counselor, tutor, and teacher’s aide. Some of my most rewarding experiences have been with families I’ve stayed with for years — if you’re looking for a long-term sitter or nanny, I might be the perfect match! I’m happy to provide references, including from a family I worked with for three years as a nanny/tutor. Outside of school, I enjoy trying new restaurants with friends, cooking (I was almost on Chopped Junior!!), playing board games, and going on little day-trip-adventures. I can comfortably look after 1-3 children! I am fully licensed, and I drive a 2026 Range Rover Velar which can comfortably fit 3 kids in the back seat. My car is rated as one of the safest luxury SUVs on the market, and I have a perfect driving history. I also do not drink or smoke.
