Nurturing Daytime Nanny Needed for Infant & 2-Year-Old

This is a loving family preparing to welcome their fourth child in March. They have been through the newborn stage before and understand both the beauty and the busyness that comes with it. With a newborn and a 2-year-old at home, they are looking to create a steady, peaceful rhythm during this next season of life.

ABOUT THE FAMILY

The parents value kindness, dependability, and calm energy. They are hands-on, thoughtful, and deeply invested in their children’s well-being. At the same time, they recognize that having the right support makes all the difference, especially during postpartum recovery.

They are hoping to find someone who feels like a natural extension of their family during the hours they are present. A caregiver who is nurturing with the newborn, playful and engaged with their 2-year-old, and comfortable managing both with confidence. Someone who enjoys being part of a busy, growing household.

POSITION DETAILS

• Location: Holualoa, Big Island
• Start Date: Around mid-March (baby due March 18; family would love someone who can start shortly after birth)
• Children: newborn and 2 year-old
• Schedule: 5 hours per shift (2 days per week)
• Note: Family is open to finalizing exact days/times based on caregiver availability.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Provide attentive, safe care for a newborn
• Engage and supervise a 2-year-old (play, routines, age-appropriate activities)
• Support smooth transitions and keep the day calm and structured
• Communicate clearly with parents (quick updates, how the day went, needs/notes)

IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Trustworthy and consistent (shows up, communicates clearly, follows through)
• Confident with newborn care and toddler routines
• Calm, grounded, and capable of handling the realities of early postpartum life
• Comfortable in a home where the goal is simple: safe, engaged care so parents can rest, reset, or handle life logistics

Nice-to-haves

• Experience working in homes with multiple children / busy family dynamics
• Newborn experience (sleep, soothing, bottle support as directed)

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Hourly Rate: $25/hr
• W-2 Employment with tax withholding

HOW TO APPLY

You’re stepping into a meaningful season for a family, those early weeks with a newborn and toddler are intense, and even 10–15 hours a week of dependable support can change everything. The family is organized, experienced, and clear about what they need: someone calm, capable, and on-island who will show up and care deeply for two little ones.

If this position feels like a good fit, please apply through Hānai Nanny Agency and include a brief overview of your relevant infant experience, certifications, and current availability. Qualified candidates will be contacted for next steps.
