Household dynamic:

• This fun, loving international family of four has recently relocated from Portugal to Coconut Grove and is seeking a nanny to support and nurture their children as they build their life in Miami. Their almost 3-year-old daughter has not yet started school, though the family is actively exploring her school options, and their 6-month-old is in a sweet and highly developmental stage. Neither child has previously had a nanny - the candidate will play an important role in shaping their routines, engagement, and daily rhythm. Both parents care deeply about nurturing their girls both physically and intellectually, teaching them to love healthy food, reading, good quality music, and staying active. They encourage curiosity and initiative, and hope to raise bold, confident, and non-conforming thinkers through unconditional love and warmth. The nanny will take the lead in creating an enriching environment where curiosity and creativity are encouraged, fostering their daughters’ development through a thoughtful and developmentally minded care approach, and truly using the world as a classroom. Another beloved part of the family is their lovely dog, who they described as the kindest and calmest dog ever.  This is a very dog-friendly home, and if the candidate has a well-behaved dog, they are more than welcome to bring them during working hours.
• This is an international family with a European background. Dad is Spanish, and Mom is Ukrainian. While Russian and Spanish are spoken in the home, English is the family’s primary language when communicating with each other. Their routine is fun, informal, playful, loving, and deeply connected. Much of their leisure time is spent in their living room getting lots of dog kisses, playing pretend with the girls, or heading to the beach. The family travels approximately 8 - 12 weeks per year, around school breaks, including summers outside of Miami. They are looking for someone genuinely excited to travel alongside them. They are also in the process of building a household team that will include a full-time housekeeper, a chef, and possibly a house manager, so the nanny’s primary focus will remain on child development and day-to-day care.

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a warm, engaging, attuned, and curious nanny who is dedicated to supporting the growth of two young children. The family is looking for a kind, gentle, and intelligent nanny who is both emotionally and intellectually capable, as well as creative in fostering an interactive and educational environment, no matter where they are in the world. The family's expectations extend beyond simply caring for the children; they want the nanny to actively participate in their development. This includes preparing relevant activities, introducing them to good music, language, and art, helping them ask meaningful questions, and nurturing their curiosity and creativity. The family values a proactive and perceptive nanny who can fully engage with the children, identify opportunities to develop their interests, and encourage their natural curiosity. They love traveling, so someone experienced and eager to join in the family adventures would be a wonderful addition. As they are building their household team, someone collaborative and can easily navigate in a fully- staffed environment is important.
• 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, coordinating activities, 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 experience or familiarity with Montessori / Waldorf / Reggio Emilia, a Bachelor's degree or higher,  and/or an Associate’s degree in a child or education-related field.

Qualifications:

• 3 years of professional childcare experience
