A little bit about us
The regular hours will be 8:30AM - 3PM Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. There is a possibility we will also need care 12PM - 3PM on either Monday or Wednesday. My husband will be home from work earlier than 3PM more often than not but you will still be compensated until 3PM. Occasionally, he might be home as late as 4PM but this is rare.
We have a 10 year old lab mix but plan to keep her up in a separate bedroom initially, maybe always. We do not expect you to clean other than tidying toys up and may ask for the occasional help loading/unloading dishes and/or clothes.
Must have infant CPR/first aide certification, experience with 2-3 references, and be ok with a background check. Must be taking COVID precautions seriously, ideally we would want someone who is or wants to get vaccinated. We would consider someone with temporary availability especially if you are a good fit and interested in being a long term as needed evening/weekend babysitter. We would also consider a Nanny share with the right Nanny and family.

What is an Infant Nanny in Chicago, IL
An infant nanny is a nanny that specializes in caring for newborns. They are skilled in diapering and providing care for any rashes, swaddling, bathing, feeding, and burping. Some infant nannies further specialize in care for premature newborns or multiples.
Preparing for a Nanny Interview for an Infant Care Position
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is an infant nanny job interview. Here is a list of some infant nanny interview questions to prepare for:
- What is your specific experience with this age group?
- Are you Infant CPR/First Aid certified in Chicago, IL? Are you willing to be trained?
- How do you handle a crying baby?
- How often do you usually offer parents updates during the day?
- What do you feed an infant? At 0-3 months? 3-6 months? 6-9 months? 9-12 months?
- How do you set up the infant’s crib for a nap?
- What kind of activities will you plan to engage my baby?
You should be prepared with your references for past nanny jobs, and ideally, past infant jobs. Prior to the infant nanny interview, be sure to think about questions that you might have for the family. This is a great time to ask questions about the responsibilities and compensation for the infant nanny position. To make sure everyone has a shared understanding of the role and responsibilities, we recommend asking for a job offer or a nanny contract. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
