A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Shannelle — a warm, reliable, and hands-on caregiver with years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I’ve always had a nurturing spirit, and it brings me joy to create safe, engaging spaces where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported. I’ve taken early childhood education classes and enjoy incorporating creative play, outdoor time, and age-appropriate learning into daily routines. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prep, and homework help. Families I’ve worked with describe me as dependable, calm under pressure, and someone their kids genuinely connect with. I know how much trust it takes to invite someone into your home, and I’d love to be a positive, consistent presence in your child’s life.
Availability: I’m a law student available part-time this summer, with flexible hours for weekday care, weekends, and date nights. I’m happy to work with your family’s schedule!

A little bit about me
I just graduated from Saint Ignatius and will be attending SMU in the fall. I am looking for a summer nanny job, ideally around 8-3 on weekdays during the summer but I am very flexible. I have been babysitting for the past four years for several families and love hanging out with children! I cook, clean, and can drive the children to different places. I love to hang out outdoors and am a very outgoing person.

Hi everyone!
My name is Brooke, and I’m moving to the Chicago area in May 2025! I’m looking for a full-time nanny position for the summer (early May–early September) but am flexible with the exact timeframe. I am willing to travel to any nearby Chicago suburb.
I’m 22 years old and moving to Chicago to attend graduate school, where I’ll be studying to become a women’s health nurse practitioner and certified nurse midwife. I was a college distance runner and marathoner and have extensive experience working with children ages 0–13. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have worked in urgent care, giving me the ability to handle a wide range of needs with confidence and care.
I’m seeking a full-time summer position, with the possibility of transitioning to part-time during the school year if needed. As a highly organized, type-A person, my goal is to keep your kids happy, healthy, and engaged. I also offer household assistance as needed.
If you're interested, feel free to DM me here

A little bit about me
My name is Melanie and I am 23 years old. I am very passionate about nature, animals, and art. I have many years of experience working with children, from teaching swim lessons to nannying. I currently stay at home with my two children, two (almost three) and six, but am looking to get back into working full time now that the summer is coming up and they will be busy with their activities. I am an advocate for gentle parenting, so I would take a kind and gentle approach with your children to help them reach developmental milestones and grow into their personalities. Because of my experience in child care and with my own children, I have many ideas for sensory play, outdoor play, and rainy days stored in my back pocket. I also have a dog, cat, and reptiles at home so I am comfortable with any and all pets your family may have.

How to Hire a Summer Nanny in Chicago, IL
Nanny Lane helps you find a summer nanny in Chicago, IL to take care of your children while school is out.
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 a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Chicago, IL
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer 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:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
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.
