Full-Time Nanny Job: The Falcon Family with 3 Children
Looking for full-time help caring for our 11-year-old, 3-year-old and newborn arriving this fall. 11-year-old and 3-year-old are in school, so we do prefer someone who can do school and extracurricular drop-offs and pick-ups. Duties include all infant care responsibilities and helping to care for mom post-partum too, plus all care for older kids: diaper & clothing changes, meal/snack prep, educating and entertaining with age-appropriate activities, housekeeping as pertains to the kids (tidying rooms and playroom, cleaning up after meals, etc.) , transportation/drop off/pick-up from school & activities as needed, helping with homework as needed.
Our ideal candidate will be prepared to act as a mother's helper/assistant some of the time and collaborate with me, since I am often working from home and like to be involved with the kids when possible.
Schedule is minimum 40 hours per week, likely 50-60 per week at least in the first 6 months after baby arrives. In addition to regular daytime hours, would prefer evening hours during the week and one weekend day per week as well, if at all possible. All overtime hours (anything over 40 hours each week) would be paid at 1.5x the regular hourly rate as per Illinois law. Must be flexible with schedule/exact hours from week to week.
Must have prior nanny experience & references. Must be comfortable with video monitoring for safety reasons. Must be COVID vaccinated and boosted, willing to mask at any time family requests, and may need to mask daily for several months after the baby arrives/until baby is able to get vaccinated. Prefer CPR-certified candidates. Please only non-smokers. Preferably comfortable with nursing and managing breastmilk.
Willing to compensate very well for the right candidate, offer paid time off/holidays, willing to negotiate other benefits. Will consider both live-in and live-out candidates.
