KP787 - Full-Time Nanny- NYC/Chicago

Overview:

A full-time nanny is sought for a 17-month-old girl, with the role beginning asap in New York City. The family split their time roughly 50/50 between NYC (Manhattan) and Chicago (Winnetka). Their schedule has roughly been January-June in Chicago and July-December in NYC, although this could change in the future.

 

In NYC, the role will typically be 55 hours per week (Monday through Friday from 7:30am-6:30pm). In Chicago, hours will likely be around 50 per week with a similar schedule, though the day may end slightly earlier.

 

The family can accommodate a live-in or live-out arrangement in NYC and the nanny will be provided with private accommodation in Chicago, along with a vehicle in order to maintain independence and privacy. There may be occasional travel (e.g., a potential winter trip to Cancun), where separate accommodations will also be provided.

Responsibilities:

• Full nursery duties for the toddler
• Supporting the child’s development through age-appropriate activities
• Managing feeding routines, including careful handling of food allergies (currently sesame and certain tree nuts, with ongoing desensitization efforts)
• Maintaining a safe, clean, and organized environment for the child
• Sole charge in NYC (both parents work outside the home) and more of a shared environment in Chicago (where both parents work from home)

Qualifications:

• Ability to speak Korean is a huge plus but not essential (mom is Korean and would like to make sure that their daughter has a chance to acquire Korean as a language, given that many of her relatives live in Korea and speak only Korean, but this can be achieved with a tutor)
• Kind, energetic, and nurturing personality
• Long-term commitment preferred
• College education is a plus but not essential

Requirements:

• Valid US Passport, Green Card, or EAC
• Ability to drive (essential for the Chicago portion of the role)
• Flexibility to relocate between NYC and Chicago throughout the year
• Comfortable with occasional travel and overnight care when required

Salary and Benefits:

• Hourly rate: $45–$50 + overtime
• Healthcare will be offered as a stipend or reimbursement
• Private accommodation and vehicle provided in Chicago
• Travel expenses covered, with thoughtful arrangements for comfort and privacy
• Opportunity to work with a supportive and accommodating family long-term
