Hello! We are looking for a full-time nanny to join our family, and another family, in late January as part of a nanny share! We both have 4 month-old sons, and the boys will be at our house each day (i.e., no switching back and forth between homes.) We live in south Lincoln Park. very close to the North and Clybourn red line el stop. We are hoping to find a nanny that will be a real part of our family for years to come. Your primary responsibilities will be day-to-day care of the boys, including the typical childcare needs (e.g., diapering, naptime supervision, feeding, etc.) while also engaging in active play/education, and helping them to grow in a nurturing, supportive environment. Secondary to childcare, we expect you to maintain clean family rooms (e.g., put away toys, sweep as needed) and do the children's laundry (minimum once a week). Hopefully you like dogs, because we have a 6 year old labrador retriever (although taking care of / walking him will not be your responsibility.) Our family needs childcare before the other family. So, it would just be 1 infant January through March. In early April, the other child would join. We expect an average of 45-50 hours a week, with fairly standard hours (7:30/8AM to 6PM) during the week. We do require some flexibility to start early or stay late on occasion, which we will arrange well in advance of the day!
