A little bit about me
My name is Keeley, and I’m a junior at the University of Dayton, majoring in Elementary Education and working toward my Child Life Certification. I’m currently looking for a nannying position from May through August. I’m also available for occasional date-night babysitting and dog sitting throughout the summer. I have over six years of experience caring for children of all ages through babysitting and nannying during the school year. I’ve worked at the Bombeck Family Learning Center, where I cared for children ranging from six weeks to five years old. I’ve also volunteered at several children’s hospitals, where I supported children and their families. I am CPR/First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and am comfortable with pets. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and meal prep. I’m open to travel within reason. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and nurturing to care for your children this summer, I’d love to connect!

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 Oswego, 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.
