A little bit about us
The quick details: Flexible days and times. Needed 5 hours per day, 3 days per week. We have a 2 month old that is very sweet and not a difficult baby. 1 parent works from home so can assist and the other works from home 3 days per week.
The long details: The Ideal Nanny would be someone that become close with us and our child as she grows. We're not looking for a "sitter" we're looking for a long term nanny.
A typical day would be something like: Start around 9-10 am, she usually likes to go for a morning walk so that would be first. We live next to a beautiful park, and the lakefront, as well as Maggie Daley park. Then afterwards she naps for 30 mins or so. She'd need to eat when she wakes up so it'll be feeding her next. Then she usually likes to play or be read to. After that there is sort of a wildcard as sometimes she's tired, or hungry, or still wants to play more. We're open to your thoughts on activities. Another walk is always fun for her.
That's pretty much a full day, leave around 3:00. We're flexible on hours and pay. We are excited to find someone to work with.

Looking for a loving, experienced caretaker to watch our babes when I transition back to work full time. Guaranteed 30+ hrs/week. Needs to be comfortable with me working out of the home. We have a 2yr old dog (Zola), but she will most likely be at daycare 2-3 days/week. Light housework and meal prep (nothing more extravagant than a crockpot meal or casserole--all ingredients on hand) can factor into hr wage. Cash only (Zelle, Venmo, etc). Shoot me a note if you're interested and we can set up a call!

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.
