FTM here - any recommendations for nanny services in Chicago? Do you need to provide lunch or any other benefits if the nanny works 5 days a week?

When you say nanny services, do you mean an agency to help you find one? The agency can then help guide you on what is common among those hiring now. If so: Olive.You.Nanny and Date Night Boutique

We don’t offer lunch, but our car is the one available for the nanny to use for the kids (no switching the car seats back and forth or her having to have them in all the time), and we gave her a family credit card in her name for kid incidentals while out, so she doesn’t have to front the money and get reimbursed.

Good tips above. I used two agencies (about seven years ago). They sent very different types of nanny, which was interesting.

NorthShore nannies sent more young nannies with early childhood education orientation.

Nanny boutique sent more experienced/career nannies.

I found my nanny through the latter. She’s been with us 7 years. I interviewed at least 12 nannies to find the best fit. Then, it’s been a matter of treating her very professionally just as any other “team member”.

I’m really happy being gf&bf with my significant other - I’m 41 and I don’t want kids and I am not desperately seeking marriage. I’m really happy with just this & my job. I think it weirds his immigrant family out a lot. His mother apparently was very cold/rude to his ex-gf (I found this out bc I asked) and his sister is very cold and has a very judgmental attitude about women that don’t wanna be a wife & have kids (just like her.) I wanna avoid holidays at their place - any advice?
