About the Family
A warm, professional, and globally minded family is seeking a bilingual (Korean/English) nanny to care for their 13-month-old daughter. The family splits their time between Chicago (January–June) and New York City (July–December) and is looking for a nanny who is excited to live and work in both cities throughout the year. Their daughter is a sweet and observant toddler who benefits from a calm, engaging, and nurturing presence. The family values a structured yet joyful environment and is looking for someone who brings positive energy and a bright, smiling demeanor to each day. Both parents maintain busy, hybrid work schedules—father is a professor and mother works both from home (in Chicago) and in-office long hours (in NYC). They appreciate a nanny who is collaborative, receptive to feedback, and focused on supporting both the child and overall family dynamic.
About the Role
This role is primarily focused on providing attentive, developmentally appropriate care for the family’s young child. The nanny will be responsible for maintaining a safe, nurturing environment, engaging the child in age-appropriate activities, and supporting her early development—particularly through consistent Korean language exposure, as the family would like the nanny to primarily speak Korean with their daughter. Additional responsibilities include bottle cleaning and sanitation, light tidying and organization of child-related areas, and maintaining a clean and organized environment. The nanny must be comfortable managing the child’s dietary restrictions (allergies to sesame, nuts, and eggs).
This is a dynamic, bi-coastal role that requires flexibility, professionalism, and a strong sense of organization. The nanny must be open to traveling with the family (both domestically and internationally, approximately 1–2 trips per year) and comfortable adapting to different home environments throughout the year. The position is live-out, though the family is open to supporting housing arrangements for the right fit.
