About The Position

We are seeking a career-oriented childcare professional to join our household in Maplewood. This role is designed for a self-directed educator capable of managing the developmental needs of a 16-month-old and a newborn (arriving September 2026). We prioritize a structured, enriching home environment and offer full autonomy to the right candidate. The ideal candidate will have deep knowledge of child development, be warm, emotionally intelligent, and energetic. They should be confident in setting healthy boundaries and fostering independence through age-appropriate discipline, and capable of designing and implementing a "hidden curriculum" of play-based learning and exploration. We view you as the professional lead during working hours. Even with a parent working in a detached office, you have full authority over the children’s care. While we seek a long-term partner, we are open to short-term support while finding the perfect fit. We utilize a clear communication system for "Recovery Days" (following Mom’s medical call shifts) to ensure everyone knows who is lead caregiver.
