Description:
A busy, warm, and growth-oriented family in Naperville is seeking a full-time nanny/house manager to care for their energetic preschool-aged child while also supporting the smooth day-to-day operation of their household. Their child is fun, talkative, active, and full of personality. She loves books, puzzles, board games, and learning new skills, and thrives with engaging, hands-on care.
She attends school from 8:00 am–3:00 pm each weekday, and the family would love a nanny who can support her after school with enriching activities such as playground time, swimming, soccer, museum outings, and creative or educational play. The family appreciates a Montessori-inspired approach and values independence, curiosity, and developmentally appropriate routines.
This role is a true hybrid position, combining childcare, household management, and personal assistant tasks. The ideal candidate will be proactive, organized, and confident managing a variety of responsibilities, from school pickups and activity planning to errands, organization projects, and occasional support for the mom’s business.
Dad works from home and is typically in his office during the day, while mom works outside the home. The family is seeking a long-term hire who is trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely invested in their child’s growth.
