About the Family
A fun, high-energy, “young at heart” family of three is seeking a travel-ready nanny to support their 2-year-old daughter during an upcoming trip to Punta Cana. They value kindness, honesty, hard work, and creating a warm, collaborative environment where their caregiver truly feels like part of the team—not just “staff.”

They enjoy music, being outdoors, time at the beach or pool, and keeping things light and fun—while still maintaining structure where it matters most (especially for their child’s routine).

About the Child

• 2.5-year-old girl with a big personality and generally happy, social demeanor
• Thrives on routine: wakes ~7:30 AM, naps ~12–2 PM, bedtime ~7 PM
• Loves: outdoor play, beach/pool time, pretend play, dress-up, crafts, books, bubbles, and being your “helper”
• Currently working on: potty training, manners, sharing, and emotional regulation

The Goal of This Role

• Assisting with pre-trip preparation (packing, organizing child-related travel items, routine alignment)

• Supporting meals, snacks, and maintaining familiar routines while away
• Assisting with nap and bedtime routines in a new environment

• Professional but warm—you can read the room and adjust accordingly

Additional Details:
