Household dynamic:

• This hard-working, organized family is seeking a proactive, down-to-earth nanny to join their team! The family absolutely loves to spend their time outdoors and lives on a spacious, nature-filled property where the children can tend to their vegetable garden, pick wildflowers, fish at the pond, or feed the chickens. They have three children who all enjoy doing crafts or heading out on outdoor adventures. Their oldest, at 6 years old, is in first grade, while their 3-year-old will be attending an outdoor farm preschool. Their 1-year-old is growing into his confidence and will be attending a morning enrichment program in the fall. They are looking forward to working with a true team player who is excited to jump in whenever needed and can foster a fun, loving environment for their children and grow alongside them. The family has chickens in a coop and will be welcoming a dog next spring. This is an ideal role for someone who loves animals and is ready to live out their farm dreams.
• This is a dual career household where both parents are regularly in and out of the home. They are very present with the kids in between needs at work, but their schedules can be fast-paced and unpredictable. The ideal candidate is someone who can confidently step in and support them during these transitions and help keep the day moving smoothly. This is a well-coordinated home and is supported by a long-standing team that includes a housekeeper and three garden staff. Collaboration and teamwork are key to this role! These entrepreneurs run their household like a healthy, functional team, managing tasks in Asana and keeping weekly calendars in Notion for everyone to be read in on upcoming schedule changes and the day-to-day activities in the home. Travel is a big part of their life. They enjoy traveling during school breaks to Nantucket, Palm Beach, and Chicago, and take one to two international trips throughout the year. Someone adaptable and travel-ready who is eager to join the family adventures will fit right in!

‍

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for an experienced, confident, down-to-earth, self-starting nanny who is passionate about supporting the growth and development of three spirited, growing children! The family would love to work with someone who brings a kind, nurturing, and grounding presence and who can be truly present with their children. Someone humble, proactive, and who can easily adapt to the family’s natural rhythm of knowing when to step in and out will be a great fit! The family values open communication and collaboration, so someone who is receptive to feedback and comfortable working as a part of a close-knit team-oriented home will be a wonderful addition.
• Responsibilities include creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive, child-related household tasks, including but not limited to meal prep, tidying, organizing of children’s areas, occasional errands, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year.

‍

• 3 years of professional childcare experience
• Knowledge and experience with pre-school through early elementary age children
• Comfortable preparing basic meals for children
• Able to swim and care for children in water
• Valid driver's license
