Live In or Live Out Nanny for a Family near Grant Park
About The Position
The kids come first—always. This family is looking for a highly engaged, dependable nanny whose primary focus is caring for two school-aged children and making sure they feel supported, supervised, and encouraged throughout the day. The ideal candidate genuinely enjoys being involved with the children, from helping with homework and reading to encouraging music, creative activities, playdates, and time away from screens. This is a role for someone who is proactive, attentive, and comfortable taking the lead with routines, boundaries, activities, and the children's day-to-day needs. The nanny will also assist with school transportation, activities, meals, children's laundry, bath and bedtime routines, and keeping the household running smoothly with light household tasks. One child has insulin-dependent diabetes and will need support with reminders around meals and insulin, as well as occasional overnight monitoring through a glucose-monitoring app when a parent is working overnight. The family has a house cleaner who handles heavy cleaning, so the nanny's household responsibilities are limited to light upkeep. A live-in arrangement is preferred, but the family is open to an excellent live-out candidate. Flexibility for occasional late nights and overnights is important.
