Household dynamic:

• These three energetic kids are excited to find a nanny to join their family! Ranging in age from 1.5 to 4.5, the children enjoy playing outdoors, reading books, and spending time together. The family describes their home as being very open-minded and health-conscious, and they are lifelong learners! A candidate who is like-minded and excited to foster a down-to-earth environment at home will be a wonderful addition to the team.
• Dad works in a separate building on the property and understands that not interrupting the flow of the day is key with young kids. The family also works with a personal assistant and a part-time nanny who are an integral part of their support system, so someone who is independent yet confident in collaborating with others will be important. The family is excited to find someone who can grow and thrive alongside their children and household for years to come!

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a candidate who enjoys a balance of working with children and supporting a busy household! Someone who brings attention to detail, a calm presence, and warm energy to their role will be valued. Open and kind communication (with both dad and kids) is also valued and encouraged.
• On days when the children are at their dad’s house, childcare will be the primary responsibility of the candidate. When the children are with their mom, the role will shift to focus on assistance with child-related housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, and light personal and family assistant tasks. A candidate who enjoys a dynamic work environment will thrive in this role!
• The family is open to meeting candidates with multiple years of nanny experience, family assisting experience, or a combination of childcare and other administrative or work experience that lends a collaborative, proactive, and can-do spirit to the role. Finding the right fit is of paramount importance to this family and team!

Qualifications:

• 3 years of professional childcare experience, a candidate with comparable family assisting or other administrative work experience, may also be considered for this work
• Valid driver’s license
• Knowledge and experience with age-appropriate developmental milestones
• Comfortability in preparing basic meals for children
