Household dynamic:

• This friendly, welcoming European family of four has lived in a beautiful neighborhood in South Miami for 2.5 years and is seeking a nanny/family assistant to care for their 4-year-old daughter. Their daughter is described as a creative, curious, enthusiastic, articulate, and playful child who enjoys staying active. She attends pre-K4 full-time and participates in sports and creative activities. The candidate will work collaboratively alongside Mom and the family's baby nanny, supporting their daughter's daily routines, developmental milestones, and overall well-being, while also assisting with their 6-month-old son as needed, particularly during shared family routines.
• Both parents, originally from the UK and the Netherlands, lead busy professional lives, with Mom working from home in a separate office while keeping their children at the center of their world. The family enjoys staying fit and active and loves travel and cultural activities. Their extended relatives all live in Europe, so family members visit and stay with them several times each year, typically for one to two weeks at a time. The family also travels internationally to spend time with relatives, usually spending three to four weeks in Europe during the summer and occasionally bringing a nanny/family assistant for part of the trip. Throughout the year, they also enjoy occasional long weekends and short trips within the United States. The household operates with the support of a collaborative team, including a nanny for their son and a full-time housekeeper who manages cleaning, laundry, and family meal preparation. This is also a multilingual home. While English is the primary language spoken within the family, Spanish is also spoken by staff in the home.

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a warm, positive, gentle, and experienced nanny/family assistant who truly enjoys supporting preschool-aged children through this exciting stage of emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development. The family is looking for someone who can foster curiosity, independence, confidence, and creativity through engaging, developmentally appropriate activities while providing a calm, nurturing presence and consistent guidance. The ideal candidate will maintain a professional yet warm demeanor, prioritizing thoughtful engagement and "intellectual" childcare over passive supervision.
• The family will value a proactive, organized candidate who can step in and support family-assisting tasks, particularly when their daughter is at school. A team player, emotionally intuitive, and an excellent communicator who thrives working collaboratively with parents and other household staff will thrive in this collaborative home. The family would love to work with a candidate who also finds joy engaging with their son and coordinating sibling activities.
• 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, school pick-up, planning engaging and stimulating age-appropriate activities, supervising homework as she grows, transporting her to extracurricular activities and playdates, encouraging positive sibling interactions alongside the baby's nanny, and assisting Mom with dinner, bath, and bedtime routines for both children and traveling with the family throughout the year. Family assisting duties include running errands, grocery shopping, taking dry cleaning, and managing the family calendar.
• While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who holds a bachelor's degree, ECE units, or has a background in child development. A Spanish speaker would also be a plus, as some of the other household staff speak Spanish.

Qualifications:

• 3 years of professional childcare experience
• Knowledge and experience with preschoolers through school-aged children, and able to manage their emotional, developmental, and physical needs.
