A little bit about me

~Summer-time Nanny~

Hi my name is Abby Cooney I have always had a passion for working with children. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a babysitter and camp counselor while in high school and throughout college. I cared for newborn babies all the way up to a child in 8th grade. I followed my passion by majoring in Early Childhood Education at the University of Dayton. After graduation, I accepted a position as at Chicago Public Schools as a Preschool Teacher for the last seven years! In my free time I love to support my favorite Chicago sports teams, go on hikes with my dog Mochi and do yoga!

Looking to work Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the summer, starting the first week of July! Please reach out if you are interested :)

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Emma!

I'm a dedicated nanny with 8 years of experience working with children from infants through middle school age, and I recently made the exciting move to the Chicago area! I love building genuine connections with kids — creating a space where they feel safe, cared for, and free to just be themselves.

When I'm not with the kids, you'll find me hiking, traveling, or lost in a good book — so I always have stories and ideas to bring to the table! I'm also First Aid and CPR certified with experience caring for children with special needs. If you're looking for a nurturing, dependable nanny, I'd love to connect!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Annika and I have almost 10 years of childcare experience in a variety of settings. I grew up with three younger brothers and started caring for them from a young age, so child care is a natural instinct to me and something I'm very comfortable with! Apart from caring for my brothers during my childhood, I also started as a mothers helper at age 12 for a family with two daughters. From then on I was the resident babysitter for all the neighborhood kids, worked as a camp counselor (kids college summer camp), Spent a few summers providing nanny care for different families as well as teaching Sunday school at church and leading youth events for middle schoolers! I am a patient, kind and creative individual looking to provide child care for a family that needs it :) I am very flexible/accommodating and am willing to care for families in whatever way they are comfortable with!
