A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Prysilla. I Currently live in the Elmwood Park area. I am looking for a long-term nanny position. I do currently work at a dealership in Lincolnwood. I also am off of school for the summer but will be going back in the fall for only two days out of the week, but it will be around 6pm. I used to nanny about two years ago but then I found the job I am currently at right now and just stood with this job for the mean time. I would love to be around kids again and do a lot of fun activities. I also love pets such as dogs so that would not be a problem. I do also have my own vehicle where I can commute to work. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

A little bit about me

I have been a professional nanny for 5 years, caring for children of all ages! I'm currently a full time nanny for three wonderful children, unfortunately I will not be needed past May as the parents are teachers with summers off and their youngest is going to preschool in the fall. I have 2 bachelor degrees but found a love for nannying and haven't looked back. I have experience with learning disabilities and children with autism as well as some tutoring experience. I'm available starting the first week in June and am looking for a full-time preferably long term position!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Haneen, and I’m seeking a nanny position for Summer 2026. I love caring for children and feel most at home creating warm, steady, joyful days where kids feel safe, supported, and known. I currently work as a full-time 2nd and 3rd grade teacher, giving me daily experience with child development, routines, emotional needs, and structure. Families can expect a reliable, attentive caregiver who truly invests in their child’s wellbeing.

I enjoy planning creative, meaningful days—outdoor play, crafts, read-alouds, imaginative games, and gentle rhythms that help children thrive. I value kindness, respect, and consistency, and I’m comfortable being a firm, calm presence for healthy discipline based on the parents’ approach. I want to support your family’s values and help raise your children well—with affection and loving boundaries.

I’m also happy to offer tutoring during nanny hours for an additional fee. I would be honored to meet your family!

A little bit about me

I have been teaching, mainly preschoolers since 2005. I'm interested in babysitting over the summer, to put the money towards my daughter's private school tuition. I have two children of my own so I would love a position in which I can pick the children up, bring them back to my home, feed them, engage with them and drop them off at home when needed.

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.
