A little bit about us
I have three toddler boys, so yes, they are at that handful stage . Two are five years old (twins) and my youngest is three years old. I need some help every now and then when me and my husband may want to go out together or some days when the daycare they attend is closed and we both work. My children are sweet when they warm up to someone but definitely need some guidance and patience because they are stubborn. We are currently working on the youngest being potty trained and them being more comfortable speaking to where it is understandable to others. They are a challenge but they are not hard to watch, especially when doing things that will keep them entertained. So basically I need help from someone who likes a challenge and keeps a great spirit. If this is you.. We would love to meet you! Feel free to message me.

4 years old, 11 years old, 13 years old.
15-20 hours / week.
Your main responsibilities will be caring for the 4 yr old, and partnering in housework upkeep. The older two don’t need much beyond some general supervision and adult presence. Sometimes we do date nights or have evening appointments.
I’m a stay at home mom so I will be around a lot, but I often run errands or take the older two with me. I also homeschool the older two, and it’s important the youngest is happily occupied so I can properly help them.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Illinois
Before you start looking for a nanny job, it's essential to learn about the different types of nannies and how they compare to each other so that you make sure you’re looking for the right opportunities.
The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.
There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in Illinois. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions, it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.
