The nanny will be responsible for taking care of her basic needs, promoting her development through play, and light baby-related cleaning (meal cleanup, laundry, tidying play areas). Their ideal candidate is energetic, engaging, and comfortable with parents working from home (they love spending time with their daughter and enjoy having lunch with her during the day). Ultimately the best person for them is someone who is reliable, can easily keep up with a toddler, and has flexibility to occasionally work extended hours when one parent is traveling (usually twice a year).
