A warm and welcoming Mt. Prospect family is seeking a nurturing, engaging, and dependable full-time nanny to care for their sweet 3.5-year-old child. The ideal candidate is kind, proactive, and enjoys creating a fun, structured environment that supports learning, independence, and healthy development.
The child attends part-time preschool, and the nanny will be responsible for school drop-off and pick-up, maintaining the child's daily routine, and planning age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and growth. The family values a nanny who enjoys spending time outdoors, visiting local playgrounds, going for walks, and actively engaging with children throughout the day.
Both parents work from home a couple of days per week, so the family is looking for a confident professional who is comfortable working with parents in the home while independently managing the child's schedule and care.
