A little bit about me
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. My background as a full-spectrum doula, educator, and childcare specialist has given me a deep understanding of family dynamics and child development. I’ve cared for infants through teens, including children with special needs, and I approach every stage with patience, creativity, and empathy.
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."

A little bit about me
I have been a teacher from [phone number hidden]-present. I am looking for a career change. I loved being a nanny and am hoping to find a family to work and do my very best for.
From [phone number hidden]:
I was a nanny to 4 boys. When I began the triplets were 6 and the youngest boy was 4.
This family became like a family to me. It was an amazing job and incredibly rewarding. I was responsible for managing the house, light cleaning, daily meal prep, managing 4 busy sport schedules, shopping, homework, all driving, and being a role model , caring adult, and responsible care giver.
I am still very close to the family. I believe Ms. Scallan could give you tremendous insight into my work ethic, moral compass, dedication, and responsibility.

I am a former preschool teacher of 15 years, taught infants for 2 years, and have been a nanny since 2020. I was with my first family for 3 years and my current family for over one year. I love engaging with children, especially in arts and crafts, cooking projects, science experiments, reading, puzzles and games, playing outside, and taking walks around the neighborhood. I am flexible when it comes to hours and willing to take on a house manager role as well.

Hello! Nice to meet you :) I’m Sabrina and I’m a childcare provider and professional contemporary dancer based in Chicago, IL! I’ve been working with children since 2018 and after graduating from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Business in 2024, I’ve worked as a nanny, dance educator and childcare provider around the Chicagoland area. In Chicago, I’ve worked for BASH Kids Club, an after care provider specializing in the arts, in addition to nannying and babysitting various children around the city. In New York, I acted as a nanny and personal assistant for a family in Brooklyn regularly on weekday mornings and would complete daily household tasks such as laundry, dishes and errands. I also worked for a variety of families on an as-needed basis in the NYC area. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual and friendly and often complete various household tasks such as laundry, meal preparation and dishes. I'm all about making your life as a parent easier!

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 Chicago, IL
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.
