About The Position

A private high-net-worth family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is seeking two exceptional, professionally trained Norland or equivalent career nannies to care for their three-year-old son. The nannies will work together on a structured rotational schedule. The family is seeking candidates who combine the warmth, imagination and enthusiasm of a modern-day Mary Poppins with the professionalism, discretion, sound judgement and exceptional standards required within a high-net-worth private household. This is an open-ended, long-term opportunity for two nurturing, highly qualified and developmentally focused nannies who genuinely enjoy working with young children and are comfortable living and working in the unique environment of Jackson Hole. The two nannies will work on a four-week rotational schedule consisting of: Two weeks on a 24-hour on-call rotation, One week working scheduled 12-hour shifts, One week completely off duty. During the two-week 24-hour on-call period, the nanny on duty will stay in a designated guest room within the employer’s main residence. This arrangement will allow her to remain close to the child and respond promptly should he awaken during the night, feel unwell or otherwise require care or reassurance. Being on call for 24 hours does not mean that the nanny will be actively working continuously for 24 hours each day. Rather, she will be the designated nanny throughout that period and must be available whenever reasonably required, including during evenings and overnight periods. Following the two-week on-call period, the nanny will work one week of scheduled 12-hour shifts. The precise starting and finishing times will be determined by the family according to the child’s routine, travel schedule and household requirements. The nanny will then have one complete week off duty. The family and its HR representative will explain the detailed timetable, handover procedures, overnight responsibilities, appropriate rest periods and any changes required during travel. All working arrangements will be documented in accordance with applicable employment requirements. Both nannies will be provided with accommodation in the Annex House, located next door to the employer’s principal residence. The Annex House is a fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence. Each nanny will have her own private bedroom, her own private bathroom, shared use of the kitchen, shared use of the living room, and shared use of the dining area. During the nanny’s two-week 24-hour on-call period, she will temporarily stay in a designated guest room (private bedroom and private bathroom) within the employer’s main residence so that she remains close to the child overnight. Outside the 24-hour on-call period, the Annex House will serve as the nanny’s principal accommodation. The Annex House comes fully furnished. Should either nanny wish to bring or add personal furniture, this must first be discussed and agreed with the employers. The employers are accommodating and will consider reasonable requests. Both nannies will be responsible for cleaning, maintaining and looking after the Annex House. Housekeeping or maid service will not be provided for the nanny accommodation. The accommodation must be treated respectfully and maintained to an appropriate standard throughout employment.
