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 position starts January 4, 2027, and is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. The schedule may vary slightly while the family works out its commute routine before the nanny starts.

The ideal candidate has strong infant-care experience and a solid understanding of safe sleep practices, feeding safety, and developmental milestones. The nanny will provide attentive, nurturing care, support the child as he grows, and help him navigate developmental transitions. The family values excellent communication and someone who follows and supports their care preferences while sharing observations, offering ideas, and maintaining open, collaborative communication.

The home is a three-story townhome with a friendly, sometimes excitable dog who may jump. The nanny must be comfortable around dogs and navigating stairs throughout the day. Regular pet care is not required, though the nanny may occasionally let the dog out into the fenced portion of the front yard.
