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!

Looking for a Warm, Organized Nanny — One-Month Trial (Potentially Long-Term!)
Hi! We’re a loving, busy family in the Dunning neighborhood with three wonderful kids: a 6-year-old, an almost 4-year-old, and an almost 1-year-old. We’re looking for a caring, reliable nanny to help make our afternoons run more smoothly — starting with a one-month trial and the potential for a long-term role if it’s a great fit!
About the Schedule:
• Start Time: Around 1:30 PM each weekday
• End Time: About 8 PM (approximately 6.5 hours per day, 5 days/week)
• Compensation: $25–$30/hour (open to higher for the right experience and skill set)
Your Afternoon With Us Might Look Like:
• Arriving at our home to tidy up, start a load of laundry, and possibly begin meal prep
• Around 2:15–2:30 PM, pick up our two boys from school using your own reliable car
• Return home, where our mother-in-law may be dropping off our baby girl (almost 1)
• Support us in keeping the boys entertained and engaged — we love when they’re active and creative!
• Help with cooking dinner, folding and putting away clothes, and light household tasks
Who We’re Looking For:
✔️ Someone dependable and loving, who enjoys spending time with young children
✔️ Confident in the kitchen and happy to take charge of meal prep
✔️ Comfortable driving and has a safe, reliable vehicle for school pick-ups
✔️ Preferably has an educational background, or is an experienced caregiver (we’d also love an older woman who enjoys cooking and nurturing a busy household!)
We see this as a true partnership — we’d love to have someone who feels like part of the family, helping us keep our home running smoothly so we can focus on spending quality time with our kids.
Interested?
We’d love to hear from you! Please reach out with a bit about yourself and your experience. We can’t wait to meet you!

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. When you think you’ve found the right match, you can turn the discussion towards compensation and responsibilities.
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.
