Nice To Haves

Warm, nurturing, playful, and relational.
Common sense and reliability.
Initiative, organization, patience, and really good judgment.
Experience with babies and understand that development happens through ordinary moments.

Responsibilities

Love the baby well, make his days fun, and eventually feel less like someone who comes to work and more like someone everyone is genuinely happy to see walk through the door.
See all of the baby's curiosity and run with it. Read books. Turn on music and have a kitchen dance party. Get on the floor and play. Go for walks. Find a library story time. Meet another nanny and baby for a playdate. Get outside. Head to the pool. Introduce him to new places, people, and experiences as he grows.
Help with children’s laundry, some parent laundry, bottles, vacuuming, keeping his spaces organized, making his meals as he grows, keeping an eye on baby supplies, occasional errands, and the everyday tidying that prevents a household with a baby from looking quite as much like a household with a baby.
Notice they're down to the last three diapers, tell someone before diaper number three.
If the baby is happily sleeping and there's a load of laundry ready to switch, switch it.
If toys have somehow migrated into every room of the house, help them find their way home.
Take a few things off the mother's plate.
Occasional trip outside or refill of the water bowl for the dog.
Be comfortable with a very friendly Golden Retriever.
Learn the baby's quirks, celebrate his milestones, know which song currently gets the biggest smile, and become another safe person in his world.
Read the same book twelve times, encourage those wobbly first steps, pack up for an outing, or sit on the floor and let a baby hand you the same toy approximately 37 times.
Understand the difference between being helpful and needing to be managed.
Genuinely enjoy building relationships with the families you work for.
