Short biography:
I believe that before Chaos there was only Nyx and that Chaos came from an egg that she laid. After Chaos she mated with Erebus and gave birth to Hemera and also Light.
Another possible way is that Nyx was either Chaoses first or fourth child. And that Tartarus is also Chaoses child.
Additional notes/warnings
Nyx is a maternal goddess and can be very kind but don't let her get angry at you. Even Zeus fears her wrath.
