At MoniCare Nannies and Household Staffing, we believe great jobs come with clear expectations and fair benefits. Here are the most important nanny benefits and housekeeper benefits to ask for — and why they matter.
There’s a special kind of modern-family myth that goes something like this:
If one parent is home, the house should be spotless, the laundry folded, the groceries stocked, and dinner on the table.
At MoniCare, we’re here to say it loud and clear: In today’s world, that myth is fiction, and it’s time to retire it.
Whether you're a busy family trying to find the perfect Nanny or a skilled professional looking for your next long-term role, one truth remains universal: the domestic staffing process runs a lot smoother when you’re not doing it alone.
For domestic staff—especially professionals asked to blend childcare, housekeeping, and family assistance—burnout is a real occupational hazard. At MoniCare, we believe great household professionals deserve great support. So let’s talk about how to recognize burnout, prevent it, and protect your well-being while doing the work you love.
Hiring the right nanny is one of the most important decisions a family can make—and knowing the current salary ranges is essential. In Chicago, professional nannies typically earn $25–$30 per hour, while highly experienced nannies and infant specialists earn $30–$40+ per hour. Live-in nannies generally receive $900–$1,400+ per week, depending on experience and accommodations.
