Nanny

THE FAMILY | They are a warm, grounded, and collaborative family of four seeking a long-term career nanny to grow with them. Their home is calm, affectionate, and well-run, with clear rhythms that prioritize connection, workability over perfection, and a low-drama, non-chaotic environment.

They have two loving, curious children (2.5 years and almost 11 months) who are joyful, expressive, and deeply bonded. They thrive with a balance of structure, play, warmth, and flexibility.

Both parents work from home: Dad maintains a structured day with frequent video meetings, while Mom moves more fluidly and can step in as needed.

The family values mindfulness, compassion, and presence in daily life.

They also have two friendly indoor cats; the nanny should be comfortable with cats and handle simple morning care (food and water).

THE HOUSEHOLD CULTURE | This is a calm, affectionate, and emotionally regulated home. The family values clarity, consistency, and follow-through, but never at the expense of warmth or humanity. When something isn’t working, they talk about it early and collaboratively. They care deeply about trust, repair, and maintaining a sense of ease for both the children and the adults who care for them.

THE PARENTING PHILOSPHY & DISCIPLINE | The family’s parenting style is warm, emotionally attuned, and structured, with clear, loving boundaries. They prioritize connection while maintaining strong leadership, creating a sense of safety and stability.

The children are supported in building age-appropriate independence, with adults guiding and modeling rather than doing everything for them. Big emotions are met with calm, curiosity, and care, with attention to underlying needs.

Open communication is encouraged, with a focus on helping the children express themselves, feel emotionally safe, and engage in imaginative, playful exploration. Manners, respect, and consent—including bodily autonomy—are modeled and reinforced thoughtfully, never rigidly.

Screen time is minimal and used intentionally. It is not part of the daily routine but may be used occasionally in specific situations, with clear limits and transitions.

THE INFANT | Just 11 months old, she is described as a happy, curious, determined, and active baby with a growing love for music. She is eager to explore her environment and get her hands on everything she can.

She is beginning to show a strong interest in sound and rhythm and is currently learning basic sign language, which she is acquiring quickly.

She is transitioning from breastfeeding and is still working on accepting the bottle; feeding routines are in progress and evolving.

There are no known allergies at this time.

THE JOB DETAILS | The nanny will provide consistent, loving, and structured care for two young children while both parents work from home. This is a true partnership role focused on supporting children’s development and maintaining a smooth household rhythm.

The nanny will lead engaging, age-appropriate play, activities, and routines, with strong emotional attunement, balancing independence with comfort, connection, and responsiveness.

Childcare & Household Support | The nanny is responsible for all child-related tasks, including planning activities and outings, handling children’s laundry and dishes, maintaining organized, well-stocked spaces, and cleaning up daily messes. Occasional child-related projects (e.g., reorganizing play areas) may also be requested.

Additional Responsibilities | Simple household support includes refreshing cat food and water, managing dishes, taking out trash/recycling, putting away groceries, and preparing a weekly batch of hard-boiled eggs. The nanny is expected to follow the family’s parenting philosophy and maintain a scent-free environment.

Communication & Partnership | Clear, open communication is essential. The nanny will provide daily notes (meals, sleep, behavior, diapering/toileting) and communicate anything notable in real time. The family values ongoing dialogue, comfort in asking questions, and openness to regular feedback, including quarterly check-ins.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE | The ideal candidate is an experienced, emotionally intelligent career nanny seeking a long-term role and true partnership with parents. A minimum of five years of experience with infants and toddlers is required (seven to ten preferred), along with a strong understanding of early childhood development. Some college coursework is a plus, though extensive hands-on experience may suffice.

They are reliable, punctual, and consistent, with a calm, warm, and playful presence. The nanny should be confident in setting loving, firm boundaries while clearly following parents' direction.

This role requires flexibility, openness to feedback, and a team-oriented mindset. The nanny views each moment as an opportunity to support the children’s growth, independence, and capability.

Safety, health, and emotional connection are always prioritized. Familiarity with Montessori principles, child development resources (e.g., Bringing Up Bébé), and baby sign language—or a willingness to learn—is a strong plus.
