A little bit about us
Logan Square family looking for an awesome nanny for our newborn & 2 year old daughters. We also have a friendly Golden Retriever, no specific pet care needed but he would be in the house and interacting. Mom will be working from the basement and out of your way for at least the next 6 months.
Hours would be M-F, 8:30-4:30 most days. Guaranteed 40 hours, but might need a couple extra hours each week.
Looking for someone to love and nurture our children, have fun with them and help them grow. When possible help pick up after them and light cleaning, but the focus is the kids. We love to travel and have lived abroad (fun fact: Our 2 year old was born in China!), so we would love to have someone teach our children Spanish or Mandarin, but that is not a requirement.
We're easy going and looking to treat a nanny like a member of our family, not an employee.

Just starting the nanny sharing search process! We are expecting our little one to arrive in early May 2020; nanny services starting in August. We live in the West Town/West Loop area - Ogden and Hubbard is the closest main intersection. I would anticipate 5 days per week - 1 infant, friendly dog and cat both in the house. We are open to dropping baby off at someone else's home or hosting ourselves - whatever is most convenient for both parties. Reach out if this sounds like something that could potentially work! :)

Hello! We're Megan and Saf, we welcomed little Ben in September. We live on the border of Lincoln Park & Lakeview (Diversey/Halstead). We are returning to work in January and are looking for a family nearby to share a nanny with us. Megan works in the city and Saf works nearby in Lakeview. We're active, health-conscious and enjoy time outside. We love wine and exploring local things to do in Chicago.
We are looking for a family in our neighborhood who also has an infant under one and is looking to share a nanny starting in 2020. We would prefer to host but are open to alternating homes with another family.

Ideally we're looking for a family who needs full time care Monday-Friday at about 40-45 hours per week and have some flexibility around start/end times.
Let us know if we could be a match.

A little bit about us
My husband and I live in Lakeview/Lincoln Park with our beautiful daughter. I will be returning to work in late September and we are ideally looking for a nanny share for approximately 4 months, but are open to hiring a nanny solely for our daughter as well. We are able to host another baby in our condo, however ideally we would be looking for the other family to host due to the fact that our complex has many stairs and we have a dog. The host family would need to be located very close (couple blocks from our home on Lincoln/Diversey) as we will only have a car available for drop offs in the morning, not pickups in the afternoon. My husband and I both work office jobs and would be looking for coverage from around 8:30AM through 5pm, M-F. If hosted at our condo, other tasks would include light cleanup, and taking the dog for a quick bathroom break once per day. Driver’s license and car are required but will rarely be needed.
We are seeking a warm, caring, responsible nanny with excellent referrals and a family that shares our values and a similar schedule. Please message me if you are interested in connecting to discuss this opportunity. Thank you!

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.
