A little bit about me
Hello!
My name is Alejandra,
I’ve been a nanny for about 4 1/2 years now.
I was a live in nanny twice, I’ve worked with kids from ages 3 months-18 years old)
After I had graduated high school, I went on to study Early Childhood Education at CVTC & as a daycare teacher assistant. Eventually the director had noticed much more potential in me, & encouraged me to pursue full time teacher.
That is where my calling for wanting to show the little humans we bring into society came into mind.
I wasn’t necessarily big on the idea of having a classroom full of children, although it’s amazing how every little one is different, but I wanted the deeper understanding & the one on one. That is why I became a nanny, & just watching a baby turn into a toddler, turn into a young child, teen, adult, etc is mesmerizing, especially when they always ask about you.
- My biggest interest in becoming a nanny was a lot to do with helping out with my siblings, cousins, & friends children.

"Nolwazi bonds very well with kids, it's natural for her and it makes it easier to work with her because she doesn't only work well with kids but has a wonderful respect for parents too. My kid was always in good hands with her and I must say it was sad having to let her go but I trust her and I know she will do well with any family. I hope she finds the right one and put the same effort and more in taking care of the kids. I definitely recommend her, she is incredible with kids and her personality is exceptional."

I strictly observe all COVID protocols, and have had both vaccines + one booster, and this year's flus hot.
I've had experience as a medical caretaker as well as a companion for disabled children and adults. I myself am on the autistic spectrum and am attention deficit.
For a time, I worked with autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent kids middle school-young adult age at a local organization called DC Peers.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing (I am a published poet), educational podcasts, watching documentaries, working on academic writing, advocacy, video games, sewing, museum visits, yoga and walks.
I love finding fun and creative ways to learn and spend time together with kids of all ages!

A little bit about me
Hi there! I'm a student in my last year at Loyola and live in a apartment in Rogers Park. I have been babysitting and nannying on and off since high school and enjoy my time with kids of all ages. While I am very childlike myself, I am very responsible and put the child's care before anything else. I am willing to help out with kids and around the house including with pets and such. I have two dogs and two cats back home in Texas and have been a a part of Wag and Rover for years. While none of my babysitting or nannying experience has been longterm so far, I am hoping to have the opportunity for it now. Hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is WD (they/them). I love working with children of all ages, but I have a soft spot for the early years. A former caregiver to disabled adults and a future occupational therapy student, I'm especially interested in working with children with developmental disabilities.
I work well with families who are growth-oriented and direct in their communication. My approach to childcare is warm and attachment-based; I view the caregiver’s receptivity and ability to set and hold boundaries as the foundations of a strong child-caregiver relationship. I’m a strong organizer and planner and an excellent vegetarian cook; I love cooking with/for kids and am happy to take on household management duties for appropriate compensation. I believe that children need routines, and I enjoy planning activities with “the whole child” in mind, creating opportunities to explore across social, emotional, cognitive, sensory, fine- and gross-motor, and linguistic domains of development..

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Chicago, IL
Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.
Chicago Nanny Interviews
Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:
- Do you have experience being a nanny?
- How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
- What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
- Are you open to a live in arrangement in Chicago? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
- Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Chicago?
- Do you have a driver’s license in IL? Do you own a car?
- What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
- What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?
During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny
Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
