About The Position

We are a family of four seeking a patient, reliable, flexible, and positive nanny with high energy to actively engage in our children's day. Our ideal caregiver will be comfortable participating in activities, including swimming, and will take initiative in planning fun, age-appropriate activities, outings, and play without needing detailed direction each day. We are seeking a self-starter who is social, easygoing, open, and engaging, while also supporting the children’s development and helping them reach important milestones. The primary focus of this role will be providing engaging, attentive care for the family’s 10-month-old son during the afternoons. Responsibilities will include planning age-appropriate activities, supporting developmental milestones, taking walks and spending time outdoors, and managing meals and daily routines. When the 4-year-old is home from school or has a day off, the nanny will also engage him in fun, age-appropriate play and activities. During nap times, the role will transition into a Mother’s Helper position, assisting with light cleaning, playroom organization, children’s laundry, meal preparation, small household projects, and occasional errands. The family is also open to offering additional hours and occasional date-night support.
