Household dynamic:

• This warm, organized Fort Lauderdale family led by a single Mom is seeking a live-in nanny to support their active, growing children. Their 8-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son are bright kids with big personalities and are at a wonderful age for active play, sports, creative activities, and growing independence. Both children would benefit from a caregiver who can help them navigate sibling rivalry, manage big feelings, and learn to work through disagreements constructively. Currently, they attend school during the day, though the family is considering a possible transition to a homeschool program next year. This is a home that encourages the children to grow into humble, kind, and grounded people. The family hopes to foster a strong, loving sibling relationship built on mutual respect and healthy communication.
• This is a single-parent household with a parent who runs a demanding professional schedule and a grandparent who provides occasional support. The family maintains a beautiful, meticulously tidy home in Fort Lauderdale that serves as a peaceful retreat from their busy days. They take pride in keeping their home clean and orderly, with daily habits like making beds, no dishes left in the sink, putting away toys, and cleaning up after activities. This household is also supported by cleaners on Monday and a housekeeper Tuesday through Friday. The family values humility, kindness, and grounded role modeling over material influences, and they are hoping to find a dedicated, long-term partner in the home who will become a trusted and lasting part of the children's lives.

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a warm, experienced, and engaging nanny who balances playfulness, fun, maturity, and confident leadership each day. The family is looking for their "Mary Poppins" - a seasoned caregiver with the ability to play sports and be fully present and engaged with children, while also bringing a thoughtful, education-minded approach to tutoring, homework, and emotional regulation. The perfect candidate will be a proactive professional who can confidently take ownership of the children's routines, schoolwork, and daily needs. They will be a polished, positive role model whom the children love being around and respect, with a calm, emotionally regulated, and consistent approach to setting kind yet firm boundaries. A strong understanding of sibling dynamics and emotional development will be especially important. The family hopes to work with someone who can thoughtfully guide children through conflict, reinforce manners and kindness, and encourage gratitude and independence. A candidate with humility, kindness, and grounded values that the children can naturally absorb will be a perfect addition to this respectful home.
• The family is seeking someone who can communicate well and work seamlessly alongside the family and existing team. Someone who is a naturally tidy, detail-oriented nanny who cleans as they go, maintains organized spaces, and models the same habits they encourage in the children will thrive in this home. Above all, the family is seeking someone trustworthy, collaborative, and genuinely invested in helping the household run smoothly.
• Responsibilities include creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive, child-related household tasks including but not limited to meal prep, tidying, organizing children's areas, occasional errands, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, supporting tutoring, homework, and summer workbooks, maintaining a tidy home between housekeeping visits, and traveling with the family throughout the year.
• While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who has homeschool teaching or tutoring experience and a background in child development, behavioral studies, or education. A Bachelor's degree or Associate's degree in a child- or education-related field is preferred.
