A little bit about me

I’m Nkanyezi (“Star”), a professional nanny and house manager with 23 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and multiples across Chicago and its suburbs. I combine nurturing, attentive childcare with smooth household management, giving parents peace of mind. A certified newborn and infant specialist, I’m skilled in feeding (bottle/breastfed), sleep safety, diaper routines, and developmental milestones. I excel with twins and triplets, balancing sibling needs with patience and structure. For toddlers, I encourage social growth through sensory play, enrichment classes, storytime, and outdoor exploration, always with parent approval. I manage child-related tasks—laundry, meals, nursery organization—plus grocery shopping and family logistics, communicating clearly with parents. Known for safety, calm, and flexibility, I anticipate needs, adapt to changing schedules, and bring trusted, glowing references.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I bring 23 years of professional childcare experience, including 17 years as an infant and baby sleep expert. I specialize in helping newborns and infants establish healthy sleep routines, supporting families through sleep training and nighttime care. My background includes extensive work with multiples—twins and triplets—where I balance the unique needs of each child while maintaining a calm, structured environment. Beyond sleep support, I handle feeding schedules, developmental milestone tracking, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. I’m known for providing a nurturing, safe, and organized atmosphere where children thrive, giving parents confidence and peace of mind.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

For Infants:
I create a nurturing environment with gentle reading, lullabies, sensory play, tummy time, and textured toys that build motor skills. I narrate routines and use music and soothing interaction to support early language and connection.

For Toddlers:
I plan creative, structured activities that inspire curiosity and independence—arts and crafts, painting, drawing, puzzles, building blocks, and imaginative play. Outdoor adventures include walks, playgrounds, and trips to zoos, museums, and storytime. I foster social and language skills through songs, group play, and engaging conversations.

For Older Kids & Siblings:
I encourage teamwork, creativity, and confidence with collaborative art, STEM projects, family games, and storytelling. I support homework and reading, guide sibling relationships with empathy, and involve older children in helping younger ones to build responsibility and leadership

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is supporting children as they grow—helping them master milestones, build confidence, and discover the world around them. I love teaching through play and celebrating their excitement when they achieve something new. For me, it’s not about perfection but about creating joyful, meaningful experiences where children feel safe to explore, learn, and have fun every step of the way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments are when I see a child accomplish something new—like taking their first steps, mastering a puzzle, or finally sleeping through the night—and watching their face light up with pride. Being part of those milestones and knowing I helped create a safe, loving environment where they feel confident to grow is incredibly rewarding. I also treasure the small everyday moments—belly laughs during play, deep conversations with curious toddlers, and the bond of trust that forms when children feel secure and understood.
