Household dynamic:

• This thoughtful and easygoing family of four is looking for a nanny to join their team and care for their newborn daughter. The family has two children under one year old. Their eldest child, a 9-month-old boy, has a dedicated nanny and is well-liked by everyone he meets. He is active, curious, and loves to explore his surroundings with a cheerful attitude. Their youngest child, a healthy and lovely baby girl, is visually responsive, expressive, and sleeps well. The nanny's primary focus will be caring for the youngest child, while also supporting the interactions between the siblings as they grow and play together.
• Both parents work full-time and maintain a relaxed household environment that values privacy, organization, and creativity. The family enjoys exploration and learning about new things and is open-minded in their parenting approach. At home, there will be a collaborative dynamic between caregivers. Travel is anticipated for approximately 2–4 weeks per year, and the family would love someone willing to join them.

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a warm, curious, adaptable, resourceful, and experienced nanny. The ideal candidate will bring a strong infant and toddler experience with a clear understanding of development milestones and a passion for supporting the growth through age-appropriate activities, sensory play, and exploration. A proactive, engaging, and confident nanny who can naturally introduce new songs, games, and experiences while actively narrating and interacting to foster connection and developmental progress will be an excellent addition to their team. The family is looking for an independent thinker who is proactive and creative in their approach to childcare. They seek someone who can adapt to the changing needs of the child and remain open-minded, without being strictly tied to a single childcare philosophy. The ideal candidate will prioritize safety, communicate effectively, and value a team-oriented energy at home while working alongside another nanny. A candidate who is comfortable navigating overlapping days and shared moments between siblings will be a perfect fit. The family will highly appreciate a nanny who is flexible, receptive to feedback, and collaborative (i.e., willing to adjust schedules to help each other out when necessary). They are seeking a candidate who is comfortable collaborating closely with parents and another nanny and is excited to embrace a true team mentality and support a harmonious, respectful household environment.
• Responsibilities include creating an environment for the child 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 a degree in a child development-related field or has early childhood education (ECE) units and a valid driver’s license.

‍

Qualifications:

• 3 years of professional childcare experience
• Knowledge and experience with infants and toddlers
• Have worked with at least 3 or more families as a professional nanny
• Bachelor’s degree
• Open to traveling with the family
• Valid passport
• Up-to-date on standard vaccinations
