A little bit about us
Single mom here looking for a professional, reliable, and trustworthy nanny to take care of my infant son in River North as I return to the office in September. He will be about 4 months old at that time. He's a happy boy who is pretty chill until he gets hangry...at which point, he has a very loud voice which he'll exercise in case you forget, he likes being fed every 2-3 hours and sometimes more frequently.
I live in a safe neighborhood by a park and playground. Days / hours are flexible at the moment and may vary from week to week depending upon my work commitments for that week -- 2 or 3 days guaranteed.
Expectation is simple: take care of my child well. He's an infant so this means, letting him sleep (and monitoring him during that time), feeding him milk from the bottles I'll prepare in advance, changing his diapers every 2-3 hours or sooner, playing with him to help him with his early childhood development and foster his creativity. Most days will be you caring for him from the living room of my place (it's small, cozy, and simple in layout). The extent of light housekeeping is putting his used bottles in the dishwasher, helping with the kid's laundry (wash, dry, fold - no need to put away) and cleaning up after any messes.
Rate is dependent upon experience and may be adjusted depending upon performance. Nanny will be paid when we're on holiday and not in need of the nanny during that time-frame.
Ideally, nanny will live within a 20 minute commute.
Looking forward to meeting you.

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 Chicago. 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.
