Household Dynamic:
A loving family in Lake Forest is seeking a nanny who can be an integral part of their daily routine. Their 2.5-year-old is an energetic, curious child who loves swimming, soccer, art, music, books, baseball, and dogs. Mom works from home on a separate floor, while Dad works from an office. The family has two friendly 75-pound dogs, but no pet care is required.
They are looking for a nanny who will engage their child in enriching activities, take him to classes and outings, and foster creativity and motivation. While travel is not currently planned, they may travel domestically and internationally in the future and would love a nanny open to joining them.
Ideal Candidate:
The family is looking for a nanny who is a great communicator, highly organized, and possesses strong common sense. The ideal candidate should be open-minded, creative, and motivating, with a natural ability to plan fun and engaging outings for the child. They should be a safe and confident driver, though another language is a plus but not required. A proactive approach to child development and a genuine passion for fostering a stimulating and nurturing environment are essential. Most importantly, the family seeks someone who is looking for a long-term commitment and will become a valued part of their home.
Responsibilities:
Provide nurturing and attentive care for the child (and eventually the baby)
Plan and take the child to engaging activities and classes
Drive the child to/from activities (car preferred, but Mom can share a vehicle if needed)
Meal prep for the child
Basic tidying and organizing
Cleaning and rotating toys
This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated nanny to become part of a wonderful family in a long-term role. If you’re proactive, energetic, and excited about fostering a stimulating environment for a growing family, we’d love to hear from you!
