KP787 - Full-Time (ideally Korean-speaking) Career Nanny- NYC/Chicago

Overview

A full-time (ideally Korean-speaking) career 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.
