Position Summary

This family is seeking a warm, engaging, and highly experienced career nanny to care for their infant and toddler. The ideal candidate will have a genuine passion for working with children and take pride in being a long-term, trusted member of the family.

The nanny will provide full childcare for both children, including supporting developmental milestones, creating engaging daily routines, planning activities and classes, and getting out into the community. The toddler may soon begin a half-day program, and the nanny will help coordinate the children’s schedules and activities around this transition.

The family has an emphasis on strong spoken and written language skills. They place a high value on reading, early literacy, grammar, conversation, and building the children's vocabulary through frequent, meaningful interaction. The nanny should naturally talk with the children throughout the day, encourage their curiosity, and foster a positive “you can do it” attitude.

Both children are healthy and happy. The toddler is social, loves people, and especially enjoys music and music classes. The family enjoys an active, enriching lifestyle and would love a nanny who will take initiative in planning outings, arranging classes and activities, and making the most of their walkable neighborhood.

The family’s parenting philosophy centers around kindness, curiosity, common sense, and a love of learning. They want their children to be read to frequently and encouraged to explore the world around them. Their ideal nanny will be naturally playful and engaged, someone who enjoys reading, singing, dancing, playing, and genuinely connecting with the children.

Organization and initiative are also important. The nanny should be intuitive within the home, keep childcare-related areas and schedules organized, anticipate the children's needs, and reliably follow through without needing to be micromanaged. Both parents work extensively and want to feel connected to their children's daily lives and development. Regular updates and photos are appreciated.

The ideal candidate will have strong English communication skills, extensive infant and toddler experience, experience with potty training and developmental milestones, excellent reliability and punctuality, and a genuine love for being a nanny. Above all, the family is looking for someone who is truly passionate and curious about the work they do and who sees nannying as a career, not simply a job.

They are excited to find someone who will become a trusted, long-term part of their family and partner with them in raising happy, kind, curious, and capable children.
