A family based in New Canaan, CT seek a warm and nurturing live-in, Russian-speaking nanny for their 5-month-old daughter (and occasionally for her 4.5-year-old sister). The usual schedule will be Monday-Friday 8am-7pm with time for a break during the day. Flexibility is appreciated to cover some weekends and babysitting 1-2 times per week. Candidates should be fluent in Russian- this is the language spoken at home and the parents are keen to ensure their child is fully immersed in the language.Duties include laundry, finding local classes and activities, planning fun and creative activities both inside and outdoors, encouraging educational, social, and emotional growth, implementing the bath and bed-time routine, and generally providing a nurturing and positive environment within the household. Mum works from home, so candidates should expect and be comfortable with a shared care approach, particularly during afternoons, while mornings are generally likely to be more sole-charge.Previous experience with similar ages is essential and experience working in a childcare setting is a bonus. Please also include the older sister as much as possible with encouraging a positive relationship between the siblings. A pitch-in mentality is essential and candidates must be happy to tag-team with the parents. Accommodations are provided either own room and bathroom or adjacent apartment. There may be some travel (domestic and international). A confident, safe driver is preferred.
