A warm and fast-paced family in Allandale is seeking a dependable and engaging Weekend Nanny to support their three children, with primary care focused on their 6-year-old boy who has global developmental delays. The 6-year-old is joyful, playful, and loves music and games of chase. He is non-verbal but communicates effectively through signs, gestures, sounds, and a communication device. He thrives with structure and consistency, and the family is eager to provide training and support to ensure the nanny feels confident and prepared in their role.

While outings and activities may vary, the youngest does best when there is consistent structure to the day. The nanny should feel comfortable pivoting while maintaining structure for the child. The nanny will plan engaging post-nap activities—games, experiments, or family-friendly projects.

* Light household tasks: During the child’s nap (~2 hours) or times when child is under parents direct supervision, assist with dishwasher loading/unloading, laundry, and light kitchen tidying.

Requirements:

* Experience with children (special needs/behavioral therapy experience a plus, but not required).

* Passion for working with kids and a willingness to learn.

* Comfortable cooking and creating simple balanced meals for child. Example: pancakes, eggs, quesadillas, sandwiches, etc

The Ideal Candidate:

* Patient, creative, and proactive in planning activities.

* Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
