This family offers live-in or live-out accommodations. The live-out schedule is Monday to Friday from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm. The live-in schedule is Monday to Thursday from 7:30 am until 7:30 pm; Friday from 7:30 am to 3/4pm.

Ideal candidate:
This family is seeking a nanny who is dependable, trustworthy, and highly reliable. A “teacher-type” who is passionate about early childhood education, child development, and finding teachable moments throughout the day. Looking for someone who is warm, patient, nurturing, energetic, and engaging with toddlers. The ideal caregiver is organized, proactive, and comfortable balancing childcare with household support. The family's primary goal is ensuring their daughter has safe, happy, and stimulating days filled with meaningful interaction and learning. Household duties are secondary to providing excellent childcare. The family would love a nanny who enjoys cooking healthy, vegetable-forward meals. Meal preparation for Mom is particularly appreciated during the week.

Duties include:
Assisting with morning and evening routines, including dressing, hygiene, meals, and bedtime preparation. Transporting the child to and from school. Providing engaging educational play, storytelling, music, outdoor activities, and developmental experiences. Offering healthy snacks and meals throughout the day. Maintaining a safe, loving, and structured environment. Encouraging positive behavior, independence, and age-appropriate responsibility. While the child's needs are always the highest priority, household support is appreciated during school hours and naps. This includes doing the family's laundry and preparing their meals. Shopping for and managing groceries. Vacuuming and tidying the home. Organizing play areas and the nursery. Cleaning the kitchen and cleaning up after meals. Teaching and encouraging the child to clean up toys and participate in simple household routines. For the live-in position, additional household upkeep is expected, including maintaining the nanny's bedroom and bathroom and assisting with the overall cleanliness of the home. Professional cleaners visit regularly.

About the child:
This delightful 2-year-old is sweet, curious, kind, funny, and exceptionally bright for her age. She loves singing, dancing, music classes, ballet, and gymnastics. An early walker and talker, she already knows letter sounds, can count, sings entire songs, and recites books from memory. The family is looking for someone who can foster her love of learning, encourage her independence, and keep her engaged through enriching, age-appropriate activities.

About the family:
Mom is busy, kind, and organized, while Dad travels frequently for work. Extended family members are involved and may occasionally visit during the week. The family is planning to grow in the future and is looking for a nanny who can become a valued long-term member of their household.

The family practices gentle, age-appropriate discipline focused on acknowledging feelings, redirecting behavior, and maintaining consistency. They are looking for a nanny who shares a calm, patient approach and can support the child's emotional development while setting appropriate boundaries.

Benefits:
Salary plus paid vacation days off, paid holidays off, paid sick days off, and paid personal days off. Travel expenses covered when accompanying the family on trips.
