Full-time Nanny / Household Manager in Short Hills, NJ
About The Position
A family in Short Hills, NJ is seeking a warm and patient full-time nanny for their two young boys, ages 7 and 10 years old. The typical schedule is Monday to Thursday from 8 am to 8 pm and Fridays from 8 am to 6:30 pm, with some flexibility depending on weekly schedules, but consistency is required. The ideal nanny should be fun, supportive, patient, empathetic, proactive, and ready for a challenge. The parents emphasize positivity and the need for space when there is conflict, hoping to find a nanny willing to work closely with them to solve any behavioral issues. The nanny needs to be warm, positive, and open-minded with the children. The 10-year-old is smart, funny, creative, and sensitive, experiencing anxiety and sometimes acting out, requiring a supportive and loving approach. He prefers to know the day's plan due to struggles with transitions and enjoys sports and video games. The 7-year-old is sweet, cuddly, and has a sharp sense of humor, loving reading, video games, and AC building. Both boys enjoy playing together but also have typical sibling conflicts. The parents are fun-loving, family-oriented, and hard-working, valuing open, honest, and positive communication to find solutions. They believe in taking time to calm down and regroup, and discipline through talking after an emotional reset, emphasizing clarity on what rules are violated. They seek a caregiver who shares these qualities.
