Household dynamic:

• This organized, caring, and kind family is excited to welcome a dedicated nanny to join their household team and care for their three children. Their four-year-old is a curious, imaginative, and nature-loving boy who is passionate about cars and space. He currently attends an outdoor Waldorf-inspired preschool for half days and will transition to a full-day kindergarten program at the same school next year. He is a wonderful and caring big brother who experiences big feelings and is actively learning to process them constructively. The family is looking for a nanny who can meet those moments with calm confidence and a steady, patient presence. Their nearly two-year-old daughter is an extremely curious, thoughtful, and adventurous little one who loves books, puzzles, art, and stuffed animals. She has a great sense of humor and is known for being kind, funny, and a little mischievous. She attends a weekly art class and dance class, and loves going to playgrounds, visiting cafés, and embarking on any adventure. Their newborn is a calm, easygoing baby. All three children thrive outdoors, and the family places a strong emphasis on nature, curiosity, creativity, and compassion as the foundation of the children's days.
• Dad works from home in a separate office space occasionally, and Mom is a full-time, hands-on stay-at-home parent. Grandparents are also highly involved and in town for roughly half the year. The family has started hosting a Wednesday open dinner with family and friends.
• This is a warm, well-supported home that runs on teamwork and communication. The family is supported by housekeepers three times a week and a full-time nanny who is transitioning into a lead nanny role. Deep cleaning and meal preparation for the family are not part of this role. The nanny will actively collaborate with the family and the lead nanny, with some overlapping schedule days to tag-team. The family travels occasionally to nearby local resorts and to visit family.

‍

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a patient, upbeat, adaptable, and team-oriented nanny who is calm in chaos and thrives in a fast-paced, informal home. The ideal candidate will naturally connect with children while giving them space to play and explore. The family works best with someone who can facilitate and guide rather than direct every moment, stepping in as needed while allowing the children room to interact, discover, and be themselves.
• The right candidate is curious, engaging, and resourceful, and will bring their own interests and enthusiasm to the role, whether that's organizing projects, planning activities, or sharing a passion with the kids. The family highly values a candidate who has experience with special education or understanding sensory challenges and brings patience and calm confidence to support their son's needs and help him navigate big feelings. Fostering the children's curiosity, a compassionate approach, and time spent outdoors are all deeply appreciated.
• This is a social household, with kids and nannies from the family's wider community regularly coming through. The right candidate should be comfortable in an open, bustling environment. The family is looking for someone who communicates clearly and directly, adapts quickly, and shows up as a genuine team player, happy to divide and conquer, step in and out, and read the room. A candidate who is comfortable pitching in on child-related family assisting tasks will be an excellent fit. The nanny should be confident and self-aware, with a strong sense of when to hand off or take a break. The family is seeking someone who genuinely wants to support their children and grow alongside them.
• Responsibilities include creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive, providing behavioral and emotional support to the children as they process their feelings, organizing children's areas and rotating toys, facilitating before- and after-school routines, preparing school lunches and ensuring backpacks/diaper bags are ready to go each morning, planning activities and coordinating playdates, occasional errands and adding items to shopping lists for the children, and occasional child-related meal prep.
• While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to find a candidate who brings any of the following: an interest in math and science (to complement their lead nanny’s humanities and language focus), experience/familiarity with RIE/Waldorf/Montessori, and experience or knowledge working with kids with ADHD or Autism.

‍

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of professional childcare experience
• Knowledge and experience with infant and elementary-aged children
• Valid driver's license
• Family assisting experience
• Experience working in a team or a fully-staffed environment
• Comfort working with a hands-on stay-at-home parent
• Partners, family members, and/or pets cannot be housed in any temporary or long-term accommodations provided by the family
