Household dynamic:

• This warm, globally-minded family in Boston, MA is seeking a nanny/family assistant to support their children! Their 18-month-old daughter is the primary focus of care, and the family is looking for someone who can focus on language development and plan intentional activities centered on learning through play. The family also has a 4-year-old son who is super extroverted, happy, and a ton of fun, and he thrives with someone who can match his energy. He attends preschool in the mornings, typically until mid-afternoon. The family is excited to welcome someone thoughtful who can plan and bring engaged, nurturing energy to both children's days.
• Both parents work from a home office separate from the main household, so the nanny/family assistant will be in close proximity to the parents throughout the day. The family values a collaborative and communicative parenting partnership, with regular check-ins to ensure everyone is aligned in caring for the children. Their home has a friendly, happy atmosphere, and a housekeeper visits twice a week, contributing to a supportive, team-oriented environment. Having relocated from Sydney, Australia, to Boston for the parents' careers, the family enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling, and learning, with a strong emphasis on education. They travel approximately 2-4 weeks per year, typically spending a couple of weeks in Europe during the summer and occasionally visiting Australia. Their two previous nannies each stayed for a year or longer, and the family hopes to find someone who will build a lasting relationship with them.
