Growing family in Oak Forest is seeking a nurturing and experienced nanny to join their family! Prior to the new baby boy being born in June, the nanny will care for the family’s two-year-old son until he returns to his daycare a month or so after the baby is born. Day to day care would primarily be for the newborn, unless the two-year-old is home from his day program (e.g., school closed, sick).
This is a child focused role where the nanny will be expected to create and maintain a nurturing environment that supports growth and development, avoids screen time, and fosters creativity and learning. Candidates who are patient, child-led, actively engage the children in age-appropriate play and activities, are comfortable with following a schedule, and who are familiar with the eat, awake, sleep cycle will be a great match for this family.
Candidates who are familiar with positive and gentle parenting would be the right fit for this role. Candidates who have Montessori experience or a teaching background and who are bilingual in English and Spanish are encouraged to apply, though this is not required. Candidates must be health conscious and strive to prevent germs (handwashing, not kissing the children).
