About The Position
East Wind Nannies is seeking a caregiver for a family in Mt. Washington, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for a six-month position running from January 4, 2027, through June 30, 2027. The nanny will care primarily for a 5.5-month-old baby boy while his almost-two-year-old sister attends daycare. The family values intentional childcare, a predictable routine, and creative, age-appropriate play that supports the baby’s development and milestones.

Household support related to the children includes washing bottles, children’s laundry, simple meal preparation, tidying play spaces, dishes, and a few light household tasks. The family has a bottle washer.
