Description

Location: Naperville, IL (Relocates every 9–12 months – Permanent Residence in St. Petersburg, FL)
Children: Two – ages 2 years and 6 months
Start Date: As soon as the right fit is found, ideally by July
Schedule: Monday–Friday; 3 twelve-hour days and 2 seven-hour days (parents are doctors and provide monthly schedule in advance); 50 hours/week guaranteed

Live-In: This is a live-in role. The family requires relocation every 9-12 months.

 

Household Dynamic:
This warm, engaging family is seeking a dedicated, proactive, and flexible live-in nanny to join them on their journey. Both parents are physicians working on rotating contracts, so the family moves approximately every 9–12 months, typically between Illinois and Florida. The nanny will play a consistent and grounding role in the lives of two young children as they grow—wherever the family lands next, as well as their Siberian Husky dog. 

Currently based in Naperville, IL, the family’s permanent residence is in St. Petersburg, FL, and upcoming assignments may involve additional domestic travel. This is a unique opportunity for a travel-ready caregiver who thrives in dynamic environments and is eager to build a long-term relationship with a thoughtful, communicative household.

 

Ideal Candidate:
The ideal candidate is conscientious, collaborative, and proactive—someone who thrives in dynamic environments and values early childhood development. A flexible, team-oriented attitude is essential, along with a genuine passion for supporting children through their developmental stages. Grit, emotional maturity, and strong communication skills are key in this evolving household.

 

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Provide attentive and developmentally appropriate care to a 2-year-old and an infant

  • Plan and implement educational and milestone-driven activities

  • Light tidying of common areas and children's spaces

  • Family laundry and kitchen tidying

  • Meal prep for children

  • Bottle cleaning and sanitizing

  • Light pet care (letting dog out, optional walks)

  • Support family routines and adapt to evolving travel schedules

 

Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of professional childcare experience with infants and toddlers

  • Strong knowledge of child development and early education

  • Comfortable with domestic travel and flexible scheduling

  • Dog-friendly (Siberian Husky in the home) 

  • Valid driver’s license; car provided or parking available if using own

  • Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S.

 

This is a unique and fulfilling opportunity for a professional nanny who’s excited to build a long-term relationship with a dynamic, loving family. If you’re eager to support two young children through their early years while traveling and growing with a committed household, we’d love to hear from you!
