Nanny

We are looking for a nurturing, engaging, and dependable nanny to support our energetic and curious toddler. This role is ideal for someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with young children and understands the importance of patience, creativity, emotional safety, and active engagement during early childhood development.

Our ideal candidate is warm, playful, attentive, and proactive. We are looking for someone who will create meaningful experiences through play, conversation, outdoor time, reading, music, learning activities, and positive interaction. We value caregivers who are kind, emotionally aware, culturally respectful, and able to foster a safe and loving environment where a child can thrive.

What This Role Looks Like

• Supporting language development, creativity, numbers, colors, music, and exploration through everyday interaction
• Creating a calm, safe, and positive environment centered around care and connection
• Encouraging healthy boundaries and age appropriate redirection in a gentle and respectful way
• Keeping play spaces and child related areas tidy and organized throughout the day
• Providing attentive supervision and active engagement rather than passive caregiving
• Must have prior professional nannying experience.

Important Notes

• No transportation of the child is required
• Diaper changes and most meal preparation are typically handled by family members
• A parent may occasionally be working from home during portions of the day
• We value outdoor play, imagination, movement, and low screen time
• This is a culturally aware household, and we are seeking someone who is respectful, open minded, and mindful of differences and bias

Qualifications

• CPR and First Aid certification preferred
• Strong communication skills and reliability
• Ability to be present, engaged, playful, and attentive throughout the day
• Experience with early childhood learning, child development, or gentle caregiving approaches is a plus
