Household dynamic:
- This caring and focused family seeks a kind, competent, and engaging nanny to support their growing family! The family describes themselves as adventurous, focused, and food-centric. They love trying new cuisines while traveling or near their homes in Upstate, NY, Montreal, QC, and Mexico. Their home, nestled near Hudson, NY, allows the family to enjoy a balance of city comforts with the slower pace and natural beauty of upstate living. The nanny will primarily care for their 2-year-old daughter for the first year while supporting the family as they eagerly anticipate their second child this July. They would love to work with someone who can create a loving, nurturing, and safe environment for their children. They also have two sweet and cuddly dogs, so someone comfortable working in a pet-friendly home is important!
- Dad works in a separate office five days a week, and Mom works from home part-time. Both parents try to nurture a caring and calm environment and look forward to working with a nanny who can contribute to this vibe. In their free time, they prioritize tactile, hands-on activities over screens as entertainment. They enjoy being active and creative every day! One of the parents is bilingual, speaking both English and French. The family loves to travel, spending two to three months in Mexico City to escape the Northeast winter and heading to St. Maarten over Christmas and New Year’s. During summer, they also travel to sunny destinations for several weeks. The family seeks a proactive, travel-savvy candidate who is accustomed to traveling and is adept at packing and unpacking their travel bags, anticipating the children’s needs during long car rides and flights, and being adaptable when navigating new cities. They would also love to work with a candidate who is comfortable with driving in varied weather conditions, enjoys nature and outdoor activities, and is excited to join them on their adventures!
