Hi, 
I'm Tanya! I've been a nanny for various families in the Chicagoland area for many years. As an experienced mom with over 20 years in the childcare field, I am well positioned to join your family and make an immediate positive impression. I have expertise in the following areas: Postpartum Care, Newborn Care (singles, multiples), Sleep Training, Child Development, Preschool Education, and Multi-area Tutoring. I am certain my skills, personal experiences and reputation for excellence will greatly support and enhance your parenting mission. With that in mind, I'd like to thank you in advance for considering me. I look forward to hearing from you, and ultimately meeting you and yours.

Tanya is wonderful! She provided overnight care for my daughter from three weeks through four months. She immediately put me at ease (which isn't something I can say about most caregivers as I tend to be anxious about entrusting my LO to others) and provided excellent care to my daughter.  She also was a wonderful resource for me to discuss my daughter's sleep development and my early experiences with parenting. She's also incredibly reliable. Wonderful all around, I highly recommend her.

Exceptional, professional and very communicative with kids!

Tanya is fantastic! Our child loves spending time with her, and we always feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. She responded quickly and helped us out when we needed someone at the last minute. Tanya immediately made our son feel comfortable and made sure to communicate with us as needed. Reliable, kind, and fun—couldn’t ask for a better babysitter!

I hired Tanya once for child care of my one year old daughter based on her experience and great reviews. I was not disappointed. She came on time and my daughter went to her easily. She wasn’t even shy at first so I was surprised how easily she took to Tanya. She followed my recommendations throughly. Thank you again for your great care and kindness. 

Tonya is fantastic. She has everything you could want in a caring, established, experienced and nurturing nanny. I have autoimmune disease and sleep is extremely important… As it is for everyone! She was able to help us fill the gaps during those long nights, and would bring my baby in to our bedroom to nurse, and then help get her changed, settled, and back to sleep. our baby ended up sleeping large chunks through the night very early on otherwise we would’ve kept Tonya even longer! I do believe part of our babies great sleep patterns, and peaceful demeanor was due to having Tonya as part of our dream team! Highly recommend, and would give recommendation . I will also add that Tonya stepped in on some date nights for us there after and did a great job. 

Tanya is wonderful! She was a night nanny for our newborn and we trusted her completely. She’s a joy to be around and you can rest easy knowing she’s taking care of your little one. Highly recommend!

Tanya is such a wonderful person! I have four children with ages ranging from 2-9 yrs old. She has watched them periodically since they were all babies, and ALL of my children absolutely love and adore her. If they could, they would have her stay more than the allotted time frame! She is definitely a trustworthy person and simply the BEST! It's an awesome feeling to know my children are in great hands!

Tanya was great to work with! Our baby and dog took to her so well immediately and she was punctual.

Tanya is a wonderful caregiver, with years of experience with her own kids and others.  I feel very comfortable at night knowing she is taking care of my twins.  She is calm, knowledgeable and caring. 

Tanya watched our 3 month old overnight.  At first we were a bit nervous about the prospect of someone watching our new baby overnight, however sleep deprivation and her comfort won us over.   Tanya has 8 children and she knows the 5's like the back of her hand.  She has tricks and patience that make her an Amazing caregiver.  couldn't recommend her more for a nanny, sleep assistant or night nurse.  

Tanya is an all-around wonderful caregiver.  She has tons of experience with kids, both as a professional and within her own family. She's a great communicator - it's easy for parents to quickly feel comfortable relying on her, and she knows how to build an immediate bond with children.  We hired Tanya to care for our girls (ages 1 and 4) during a gap between two long-term caregivers, and we were super happy with her.  She took care of our toddler in the mornings, did some light housekeeping, and picked up our four-year-old after a half-day of preschool.  She has that great combination of having lots of experience but also being completely open and adaptable to our way of doing things.  Our four-year-old still talks about Tanya. We'll definitely call on her again when a need arises, and we highly recommend her for anyone needing care. You'll consider yourselves fortunate to have found her.       

Tanya was great with our son, unfortunately we learned she is not willing to be vaccinated and so had to part ways.

Tanya immediately made us feel comfortable, which was a relief since we needed to find a sitter on such short notice. She gave our 13 month old dinner, played, and cuddled her to sleep. She sent us plenty of pictures throughout the evening which I love. We are glad to have Tanya on our list of sitters now!

I love how we share common interests in how we raise children. Although I have a nanny selected already, I will definitely use her for an alternate if my primary nanny isn't available. She has the ability to nurture and teach which is a plus to me!

Tanya did a great job with our high energy four year old while we were out of town on vacation.  She kept him engaged and he had so much fun with her.  Her enthusiasm and easy going attitude made the vacation time enjoyable for both us and for our little guy.  Thanks Tanya!
