A little bit about us
Hi families! We are in search of another family to join our nanny share short-term, April thru June 2020. The family we’ve been with the last year is enrolling their child in daycare in April and we are moving out of the city at the end of June but would love to continue with our wonderful nanny until then.
We’re looking for a family within a 10 min walk of where we live in East Lakeview (Oakdale and Sheridan) in LP or Lakeview to host full time of trade off houses every 2 weeks (we’ve done this the past year and it’s been great). Our current hours are 8:00am-5:30pm M-F. Our daughter will be 15 months in April so would prefer a family with a similar age child.
The situation would be perfect for a teacher looking to finish out the year or a family waiting for a daycare spot to open in July! Our nanny would also be open to continue working with you on your own or with another family in a share situation when we depart. Happy to provide more details upon request.

A little bit about us
We're a family in Lincoln Park looking for a warm, reliable after-school nanny for our 3.5-year-old son, starting the week of September 14 and continuing through the school year.
What the afternoons look like: pickup from his school nearby at 3/3:30 pm (or we can bring him home, flexible), snack, park time, playing and reading, bath at home. I work upstairs while he's downstairs, so you're never on your own with an emergency.
He's a sweet, curious kid who's obsessed with cars and just discovered the violin. There's a chance of adding a second child the same age (nanny share with another family), which would mean a higher rate.
Looking for someone reliable with real toddler experience and a couple of references.
If your schedule works, comment or send me a message and I'll follow up with details. Happy to do a paid trial afternoon before committing.

What is an Infant Nanny in Chicago, IL
An infant nanny is a nanny that specializes in caring for newborns. They are skilled in diapering and providing care for any rashes, swaddling, bathing, feeding, and burping. Some infant nannies further specialize in care for premature newborns or multiples.
Preparing for a Nanny Interview for an Infant Care Position
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is an infant nanny job interview. Here is a list of some infant nanny interview questions to prepare for:
- What is your specific experience with this age group?
- Are you Infant CPR/First Aid certified in Chicago, IL? Are you willing to be trained?
- How do you handle a crying baby?
- How often do you usually offer parents updates during the day?
- What do you feed an infant? At 0-3 months? 3-6 months? 6-9 months? 9-12 months?
- How do you set up the infant’s crib for a nap?
- What kind of activities will you plan to engage my baby?
You should be prepared with your references for past nanny jobs, and ideally, past infant jobs. Prior to the infant nanny interview, be sure to think about questions that you might have for the family. This is a great time to ask questions about the responsibilities and compensation for the infant nanny position. To make sure everyone has a shared understanding of the role and responsibilities, we recommend asking for a job offer or a nanny contract. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
