About The Position

A family in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood is seeking a warm, patient, and dependable nanny to care for their infant son, who will be 5 months old when the placement begins. The role starts January 4, 2027, and is scheduled Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM–3:30 PM. The schedule may vary slightly while the family works out its commute routine ahead of the start date. The nanny will provide attentive, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate infant care, supporting the child as he grows and moves through developmental transitions. The family values someone who follows its care preferences while sharing observations, offering ideas, and communicating openly and collaboratively. The home includes a friendly but sometimes excitable dog that may jump. The nanny must be comfortable around dogs; regular pet care is not required, though occasionally letting the dog into the fenced portion of the front yard may be needed. The family lives in a three-story townhome, so the nanny should be comfortable navigating stairs throughout the day.
