A little bit about us
We live in the Bucktown area and would love someone who is willing to take our daughter on walks (we live about a 1 minute walk from the 606) and to the park across the street when she gets a little bit older.
We also have 2 cats in the house so you would have to be okay with pets! You wouldn't be responsible for them at all, just have to be okay with them in your space as they are all very friendly and love attention!
Our ideal nanny would be someone who has experience caring for infants, references from other families with infants you have cared for, fully vaccinated (including seasonal vaccines such as Covid and flu) and is infant CPR and first-aid trained.
Knowledge of safe sleep and feeding safety guidelines are a must!
