A little bit about us…

We have 2 adventurous boys. Joey is 5 & Anthony is 3. Anthony has epilepsy and some other issues (he gets OT,ST,PT etc) there for he requires a lot of extra attention as well as giving medicine and keeping track of any seizures. Right Now I am not positive of hours but ideally help in the am to get them off to school. Maybe some help picking Anthony up from school at 11 and giving him lunch and putting him down for a nap and then getting Joey from school and taking him to actives. In between there is time for help with house hold stuff such as dishes, meal prep, picking up or organizing of toys, kids clothes etc.
We do have 2 large but sweet dogs with us for now. Not sure if they will be staying or not. A little help with them would be appreciated.
Would really like help Monday-Friday and if willing to stay with kids when travel would be great or come with us would be even better.
Also, weather it's you or some one else, we need some one for occasional weekend nights out too.
My kids are tall and strong for their age. Need to be able to pick them up if needed.
I think some one who is patient, creative, fun, and full of adventure would be a great match must be able to be firm and not give into their ability to charm with cuteness and sense of humor. If you are up to that please please reach out to me. You will so be appreciated and loved like family!
Oh, also MUST have good driving record and speak English well as our kids are at the age of learning to speak & read.
Thank you!

A little bit about us…

I am seeking a reliable, flexible, and caring nanny to care for my three children. This is ideally a live-in position. You would have your own bedroom, bathroom, and sitting area. My children are ages 21, 16, and 12. Your responsibilities would include pickups/drop-offs, homework help, schedule management, and grocery shopping. Because my kids are older, their homework has become more challenging. Therefore, a college degree is required. In addition, we ask that you help with meal preparation and clean up. The kids are smart, active, and good-spirited! They enjoy swimming, outdoor activities and art.

The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active.

There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in Lake Forest. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions , it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.
