Professional Full-Time Nanny Needed in Western Springs, IL

Start: ASAP
Children: Two Children – 4-year-old girl and 1-year-old boy
Compensation: $30–$35/hour, depending on experience
Schedule: Monday 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Tuesday/Wednesday 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Thursday/Friday 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM (guaranteed 40–45 hours/week)

A loving and active family in Western Springs is seeking a full-time nanny to care for their two young children. This is a fantastic opportunity for a reliable, trustworthy, and engaging caregiver who enjoys being outdoors, loves dogs, and thrives in a bustling yet supportive household. The position begins as soon as the right fit is found and offers guaranteed weekday hours with the option for additional weekend/date night coverage.

Household Dynamic:
The family’s 4-year-old daughter is sweet and initially shy but quickly warms up—she loves gymnastics, t-ball, swimming, tennis, arts and crafts, and spending time outside. Her younger brother is a curious, active toddler who just started walking and absolutely loves water play and outdoor adventures. Both parents are physicians: Dad works outside the home during the day, while Mom works night shifts in the ER and will often be home sleeping during the day.

The family has two friendly English bulldogs who require light pet care, such as letting them in and out. While a car is needed for the commute, car seats and ample parking are provided. The family may occasionally travel once a year and would love to bring their nanny along for domestic or international trips.

Ideal Candidate:
The family is looking for a dependable, warm, and energetic nanny who will feel like part of the family. Someone who is affectionate, a strong communicator, a self-starter, and enjoys being active with young children will do well in this role. A love for dogs and a team-oriented mindset are a must.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Providing safe, attentive, and loving care for both children

  • Planning and engaging in age-appropriate play, activities, and outings

  • Preparing nutritious meals and snacks for the children

  • Keeping the kitchen and children's areas clean and organized

  • Handling children's laundry and general household tidying

  • Managing household inventory and taking out the garbage

  • Letting the family’s dogs in and out as needed

  • Accompanying the family on occasional travel (domestic and international)

Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of full-time nanny experience, including toddler care

  • Pet-friendly and comfortable with basic pet care

  • Driver’s license and reliable transportation to and from work

  • Legal work authorization in the U.S.

  • Energetic, nurturing, dependable, and highly organized

  • Emotionally intelligent and able to work in a household with a sleeping parent

Benefits:

  • 5 paid sick days

  • 2 work weeks of paid vacation (one week of the nanny’s choosing)

  • Paid major federal holidays

  • Open to providing a healthcare stipend if needed

If you're a nurturing and energetic nanny who enjoys a close-knit family environment and thrives in a dynamic household with young children and pets, we’d love to hear from you!
