WHO/WHAT: If your ideal summer includes sunshine, playgrounds, packed lunches, and a very enthusiastic little sidekick—this might be your perfect match. This is not a “sit on the couch” kind of summer—and that’s exactly the point.

This Highland Park family is looking for an energetic, playful, and fully engaged nanny to spend the summer adventuring with their busy four-year-old son. He’s the definition of all boy energy—constantly on the move, curious about everything, and happiest when he’s out exploring the world. One minute he’s racing toy cars across the living room, the next he’s asking what’s next on the agenda. Your days will be anything but routine—in the best way. Think trips to the zoo, children’s museum, aviary, playground hopping, and local playgroups where he can interact with other kids. If the day calls for it, there may even be the occasional pool stop—

you don’t have to be a swimmer, but if you hear “Marco!” and instinctively yell “Polo!”… you’re our kind of person.

The family would love someone who naturally takes initiative, packs up snacks, and heads out the door ready to make the day fun and full. This is a summer-focused role, perfect for someone who thrives in a more active, on-the-go environment. The schedule will be 2 days/week in May and 3 days per week for the remainder of the summer, with flexibility on which days work best for everyone.

While your main focus will be keeping this little guy engaged and active, helping the household run smoothly is always appreciated. This may include children’s laundry, light tidying (vacuuming, sweeping), and simple dinner prep to take a bit off the parents’ plates.  This family truly values time together—whether that’s being outside, heading to a baseball game, or just enjoying a relaxed evening at home. They’re looking for someone who will step in, bring great energy, and create a fun, memorable summer for their son.

THE IDEAL NANNY IS…ALL IN ON SUMMER FUN. You’re energetic, engaging, and the kind of person who doesn’t sit on the sidelines—you’re in it. You’re racing toy cars, playing hide-and-seek, and fully embracing the joy (and movement!) that comes with a busy four-year-old.

You’re proactive and dependable—someone who shows up on time, communicates clearly, and naturally takes initiative without needing direction every step of the way. You’re flexible, easygoing, and bring a positive, can-do attitude into the home.

Kind, playful, and genuinely present, you know how to balance fun with gentle structure. You enjoy getting kids out into the world, helping them build confidence, socialize, and burn off all that wonderful energy.

This is the kind of summer kids remember—and we’d love for you to be part of it. Apply today!
