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.

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.
