About Our Family

We are a busy, active family of four based in Wilmette, IL. Both parents have professional careers and are frequently pulled in multiple directions between work, travel, and the daily rhythm of raising two school-age kids. Our household runs best when there is a clear system in place, and we take pride in a well-organized, tidy home. We have weekly cleaners who handle the heavy cleaning, and we are looking for someone to help bridge the gap between visits and keep things running smoothly day to day.

Our kids are energetic, warm, and social. Our son is especially affectionate and loves connection, so a candidate who is genuinely comfortable and at ease around children will thrive here. We also share our home with a senior dog who is gentle, low-maintenance, and beloved by the family.

We work from home regularly and deeply value a professional, respectful dynamic. We want someone who can read the room, get things done independently, and communicate clearly and efficiently, primarily by email with occasional texts for time-sensitive items.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is proactive, organized, and quietly capable. You notice what needs to be done and do it without being asked. You respect that this is a professional household with structure already in place, and you work within it rather than around it. You are warm and comfortable around children, especially kids who are physically affectionate and high-energy.

You understand (or are willing to be trained) and can strictly follow dietary safety protocols, including managing a severe egg allergy. You communicate clearly and efficiently, and you know the difference between a quick update and a full conversation. You are comfortable on your feet, navigating a multi-level home, and you take pride in leaving every space a little better than you found it.

Experience as a former nanny or in a household assistant role is welcome — what matters most is your reliability, your initiative, and your fit with this family. If you share these qualities, we look forward to meeting you!

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
