Full-time summer nanny jobs available for students, expert says

CHICAGO (WLS) – Many young adults depend on summer jobs to earn money and develop skills, but those jobs have been on the decline since the 2000s, with the COVID-19 pandemic compounding the problem.

College Nannies is the largest home child care employer in the country. This will look better on a resume than “nanny for the Smith family” as they are potentially in transition to another career down the line.

“There has been a huge demand for child care workers, especially nannies and caregivers who work one-on-one with children inside their homes. Parents have started to return. in the office and they need someone to look after their child while they are at work, ”said Laura Horwitz, College Nannies.

Horwitz recommends that students considering majoring in education are ideal candidates, that retired teachers and working adults looking to increase their income would be better suited for nanny or babysitting positions.

Horwitz recommends that parents determine their specific needs like hours, the role of the nanny, and ask specific questions in the interview process to find the right candidate.

Families are actively hiring nannies beyond the summer. Visit the College Nannies website for more information.
