"Nadia was exactly the type of nanny you could want as a parent. Naturally a nurturing person ! She’s super patient. Has just natural ability with kids, she would do more than we expected her to, she started to become a family assistant because of her work ethic and wanting to help more. My kids love her and we stay in contact still! She’s great. 10/10"

"If you’re reading this, your family just found the jackpot of all nannies. If you’re reading this, it means that Brianna is still available — and I promise you, she won’t be for long.
It’s hard to explain how much my family loves her and how sad we are that we were unable to take her with us when we moved! She was our nanny for the past 5 years.
It didn’t take long for us to see that Bri was special. Every smile my kids flash up at her, she meets with her own. Every thought they enthusiastically express in gibberish, she enthusiastically responds right back. Every playground pebble that grabs their attention, she explores by their side and somehow strategically keeps out of their mouths.
She helps out with the kids’ laundry, cleans up, and is one of the only people we’ve ever trusted to drive our children around. She’s happily willing to help out around the house or run errands when we need her to. She never makes it seem like a chore. Her positive attitude is hard to come by!"

With over 25 years of experience caring for children and managing busy households, I bring a calm, capable, and nurturing presence to every family I serve.

Beyond childcare, I’m skilled in household organization, scheduling, meal preparation, errands, light housekeeping, and coordinating family routines. I’m known for my strong communication, problem-solving, and time management skills, as well as my ability to stay calm and attentive in high-pressure situations. Families describe me as dependable, compassionate, and deeply dedicated to helping both children and parents feel supported and at ease in their daily lives.

"We can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah. From the very first day, she brought calm, confidence, and genuine love into our home. She is so much more than a nanny; she is a natural caregiver who truly understands children and meets them where they are. Sarah is patient, creative, and deeply attuned to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. Our kids absolutely adore her. Whether she is engaging them in imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or guiding daily routines, she does everything with warmth and structure. She turns everyday moments into meaningful opportunities for learning and connection. Sarah is also incredibly reliable, organized, and proactive, keeping our home running smoothly with kindness and grace. She quickly became part of our family, and we trust her completely. Any family fortunate enough to have Sarah will see how exceptional she is: steady, nurturing, and wholeheartedly devoted."

How to Hire a House Manager/Nanny in Illinois
Nanny Lane helps you find a nanny in Illinois who can also manage your household.
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 House Manager/Nanny?
A House Manager/Nanny combines childcare with household management or family assistant duties. Besides caring for the children, they help run the household, from organizing schedules and errands to supervising other help, which suits busy families who want one person looking after the home and the children.
Common Responsibilities of House Manager/Nannies in Illinois
Duties often include meal planning and grocery shopping, laundry, organizing the home, running errands, scheduling appointments and activities, and coordinating with other household staff, on top of childcare. The balance between childcare and household tasks varies from one family to another.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be specific about how the time is split between childcare and household work, and put it in a job description. Roles that combine duties may be paid at a higher rate, and they call for more experience. Make sure expectations about housekeeping, such as deep cleaning, are clear from the start.
House Manager/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:
- Have you worked as a nanny and as a household manager or family assistant?
- What household tasks are you comfortable managing?
- How do you organize schedules, errands, and appointments?
- Have you supervised other staff, such as cleaners or contractors?
- How do you balance the children's needs with household tasks?
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.
