A little bit about us
Hi! We're Camille and Alex. We are looking for a nanny to care for our 2-year-old girl and infant boy (dad will go back to work in March/April, when baby boy is 6 months) while mom works at home remotely. Our toddler girl is silly, super sharp, loves to read, pretend play, do arts and crafts, dance, take walks and explore outside. She's a little shy at first but is deeply loving once she gets to know you. Dad is a teacher, so our nanny's work schedule could follow the Chicago Public School's calendar if it works better for them (summers off, spring break, federal/school holidays.) Hours will be from 8:30a-4:30p, Monday - Friday. We live two houses down from grandparents, uncle, aunt, and 2 cousins, so playdates are easy! We live close to our toddler's gym class, library, etc so it's easy to find walkable activities for the week.

Hello! I am a first time mom with a baby boy (born Dec 2021) looking for a nanny and nanny share M-F ~8:30-4:30. My husband works from home and I will most days of the week so the children can stay at our place. We are fully vaccinated against Covid (plus, boosted), don’t smoke, and don't have pets. My son doesn’t have special needs and we would prefer a nanny focus on the children so no need to do meal prep or anything beyond cleaning bottles. I am looking to nanny share with a baby in the same age range in the Edgewater/ Andersonville neighborhood. Thanks!

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Chicago, IL
If you’re looking for an infant nanny job, you’ve come to the right place! We can help you find an infant care job in your area. Start by telling families about yourself in your profile, and then chat with families to find the right fit.

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.
