A little bit about us
I work full time from home, and my husband works hybrid (about 2-3 days at home and remainder of days in the office).
We would want someone who loves children, is respectful of our space and home, is clean, and does have experience working with younger children.
We also have a 2 year old, very friendly mini bernedoodle (35 lb) who loves people and kids. It would be a plus if you have experience with pets and could walk our dog once/around lunch during the day for about 15-30 min.

A little bit about us
We are first time parents and have a daughter who will be 3 months old in early February 2024 - we would like to find a family with a similarly aged infant to partner with. Our nanny is starting at the end of January and will be working full time, Monday-Friday around 8am-5pm (we’re flexible on start/end time). We’re happy to add another infant at a later date (ideally by May/June). We live in Ravenswood (5 minute walk to Ravenswood metra and Damen brown line) and we prefer to host full time (we are non-smoking and do not have pets).

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.
