Asian Nanny & Postpartum Nanny Services in Chicago, IL
Between rush hour on the Kennedy and Eisenhower, CTA commutes on the Red and Brown lines, and daycare waitlists
from Lincoln Park to the South Loop, many Chicago families feel like there’s never enough support at home.
My Asian Nanny is a specialized nanny referral service that helps families in
Chicago, IL find a nanny near me — including
Asian nanny services, Chinese postpartum care, night nanny support, live-in nanny care, elderly care, and housekeeping.
We introduce you to carefully screened Chinese, Taiwanese, Cantonese and Indonesian nannies —

tailored to Chicago city living and the surrounding suburbs.
Typical Nanny & Postpartum Nanny Costs in Chicago, IL
Every family and caregiver is unique, but given Chicago’s cost of living, many local families budget:
- Postpartum confinement nanny / Chinese postpartum care:
commonly in the range of $300–$400+ per day for experienced confinement nannies,
especially when providing both newborn care and postpartum recovery care for mom. - Night nanny & overnight newborn care services:
often around $30–$50 per hour, depending on experience, twins, and shift length. - Live-in nanny for infants & young children:
usually a daily rate comparable to postpartum nanny services when covering 24/7 or extended shifts,
with room and board provided by the family.
Most Chicago parents begin their postpartum nanny search or night nanny search
about 8–12 weeks before their due date or desired start date. If you
want to hire a nanny with Mandarin or Cantonese language skills or for twins,
booking earlier gives our nanny recruiters more time to find the right match.
