Household dynamic:
- This is an active, family-oriented household with two young children: an energetic 2.5-year-old toddler and a 7-month-old baby. The family values structure, emotional intelligence, and thoughtful caregiving. They are looking for a long-term professional who takes pride in their work and enjoys playing an active, engaged role in a child’s early years. Their toddler attends a Twos program twice a week and enjoys trucks, airplanes, trains, outdoor play, and time at the park. The family has two cats at home.
- Dad works outside the home; Mom stays at home. The family is well supported by a house cleaner, a newborn care specialist (for the next eight months), and a weekend nanny. Extended family lives nearby and is actively involved. Travel is a regular part of the family’s rhythm, including time in Colorado, Florida, and the Hamptons.
Ideal Candidate:
- This position is ideal for a professional, emotionally intelligent career nanny who brings structure, foresight, and warmth to their work.
- The ideal candidate is organized and proactive, comfortable managing the day-to-day flow of two young children, and confident working alongside parents in a collaborative environment. They are attentive to developmental milestones, responsive to children’s emotional cues, and able to maintain calm, loving boundaries that support good manners, self-confidence, and respect.
Role Expectations:
- Engage in age-appropriate activities with both children as they grow and develop.
- Proactively anticipate children’s needs, including managing schedules, arranging activities, and handling transportation.
- Drive children to activities, appointments, and school.
- Organize and tidy children’s spaces.
- Plan, prepare, and serve healthy meals and snacks.
- Assist with before- and after-school routines and coordinate activities.
- Run occasional child-related errands.
- Maintain a largely screen-free environment; remain fully present and attentive while on duty, with minimal personal phone use during work hours.
- Travel is a regular part of the family’s routine, so flexibility and comfort with travel are important.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Career nanny with experience caring for babies and toddlers simultaneously.
- Bachelor’s degree or relevant training in early childhood, education, or a related field (a plus, not required).
Required Qualifications:
- 5 years of professional childcare experience
- Support and maintain a largely screen-free environment with minimal phone use during work hours
- Valid driver’s license.
