A little bit about me
I am college student looking for a part time job for over the summer. Looking for flexible hours that’ll work with my schedule. I get out on summer break in May 2018. I haven’t been a nanny but I have baby sat for short periods of time. I love kids : )I love interacting with small children which is a lot of fun experiencing their world! I also love doing fun arts and crafts,projects,cooking,baking, exercising, taking outside adventures, and more Art :) Right now my major is undeclared but I am leaning toward early childhood education or social work. I believe this job opportunity would be very beneficial for me.
Two other things you might want to know.
I do NOT drink and
I do NOT smoke.

What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Park Ridge, IL
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
