My husband and I live in Lakeview/Lincoln Park with our beautiful daughter. I will be returning to work in late September and we are ideally looking for a nanny share for approximately 4 months, but are open to hiring a nanny solely for our daughter as well. We are able to host another baby in our condo, however ideally we would be looking for the other family to host due to the fact that our complex has many stairs and we have a dog. The host family would need to be located very close (couple blocks from our home on Lincoln/Diversey) as we will only have a car available for drop offs in the morning, not pickups in the afternoon. My husband and I both work office jobs and would be looking for coverage from around 8:30AM through 5pm, M-F. If hosted at our condo, other tasks would include light cleanup, and taking the dog for a quick bathroom break once per day. Driver’s license and car are required but will rarely be needed.
We are seeking a warm, caring, responsible nanny with excellent referrals and a family that shares our values and a similar schedule. Please message me if you are interested in connecting to discuss this opportunity. Thank you!

Looking for temporary help while our regular nanny is on vacation. Looking for someone to cover weekdays
. Mondays and Tuesday are are later evenings as I teach a cooking class. Other days may be the later 1-9 shift or a [phone number hidden].
Esme is a very energetic 3 year old. She has been walking since 9 months and is very mobile and fast. She is full of personality and high energy. She loves playing at the park, dinosaurs, dragons and sharks. Currently she is getting into princesses. She also loves music. She is potty trained.
Quinlan is very sweet and funny. He loves music and climbing.
We are pretty easygoing parents. We give our nannies a lot of freedom as we like our children to experience the world with different people in different ways.
We do have two small dogs which aren’t any work for you but you should know are around. Apart from childcare the only additional asks we have is some light meal prep cooking for the children (we will attempt to make the options as easy as possible) and just generally clearing up after them, helping out toys away, after lunch clean up etc.

A little bit about us
Hello! We are currently a family of three, but are expecting our second child in June—making us a family of four. Our daughter, Scarlett, is 2 years old (27 months), and cannot wait to be a big sister.
My husband works the typical 9-5, and I’m a teacher that works 7-3:30. We are looking for full time care beginning mid-October/November [phone number hidden]).
Scarlett currently attends daycare, but we would likely pull her out 3 days a week to have both kids with the same care provider most days.
Since I’m a teacher, we likely will no longer need full time care come June 2023. Overall, we are a pretty laid back family—schedule consistency and naps are our biggest priority.

What Are Short-Term Nanny Jobs?
Short-term nanny jobs are temporary positions with a set end date, such as covering a parental leave, a family move, a summer, or a gap between nannies. They suit nannies who like variety, are between jobs, or want to try a family before committing.
Types of Short-Term Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Short-term jobs can be full-time or part-time and last from a few weeks to several months. Responsibilities are the same as in an ongoing job, with an emphasis on getting up to speed quickly. Check the dates, the hours, and whether there is a chance of the role being extended.
How to Interview for Short-Term Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- What are the start and end dates, and could the job be extended?
- Is the schedule full-time or part-time?
- What is the reason for the temporary role?
- How will I be paid, and is there a written agreement?
- What routines and house rules should I know on day one?
Beyond asking these questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
