A warm and dynamic family in Winnetka is seeking a dedicated nanny to care for their three children, aged 5, 3, and 1.5 (two girls and one boy). The role involves managing the children's schedules, with the oldest attending school Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, the middle child attending school three times a week from 8:00 am to noon, and the youngest starting school two times a week in the fall. The nanny will be needed Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, with some flexibility for up to 50 hours per week (45 hours guaranteed). No weekends are required, but the family may need occasional travel assistance 1-3 times a year, including a two-week trip to France this summer. The family has a friendly golden doodle who may require occasional walks, and they prefer the nanny to bring her car to the job, with parking available.
The ideal candidate will be creative, crafty, engaging, and proactive, thriving in a bustling household. Responsibilities include meal prep, light kitchen tidying, loading and unloading the dishwasher, and maintaining tidy common areas. The family values a limited screen time policy and seeks someone who can collaborate effectively, especially with the mom working from home full-time. The nanny should be intuitive, discrete, communicative, energetic, and able to maintain a calm demeanor amidst the typical chaos of family life. A full-time housekeeper is employed to handle most of the cleaning duties, allowing the nanny to focus on creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for the children.
