Inside Their World:

A fun-loving, close-knit family is searching for an exceptional live-in nanny/household manager to join their busy and welcoming home! With three energetic daughters and a baby boy arriving in April, they are excited to find someone who will become a trusted part of their family and bring creativity and organization to their everyday lives.

Their oldest daughter is imaginative, energetic, and a wonderful big sister who loves Barbies, creative games, and all things girly. She thrives on consistency and appreciates someone who takes the time to connect with her. Their 6-year-old is sweet, silly, and easygoing, while their youngest is a spirited, independent little girl with a big personality and a love for painting nails, art projects, and imaginative play. All three girls enjoy dance, gymnastics, tennis, golf, and staying active. They attend school from 8 AM–3 PM daily. With a new baby joining the family, a newborn care specialist will provide dedicated support for the first six months, allowing the nanny to focus primarily on the girls while gradually becoming familiar with the baby's routines.

Family Environment:

This is a loving, active, and family-oriented household where creating wonderful childhood memories is just as important as maintaining structure and consistency. The parents are highly involved in their children's lives and value raising kind, respectful, happy children who feel loved, supported, and encouraged to explore their interests. They enjoy traveling, cooking, trying new foods, attending sporting events, and spending time with extended family and friends.

Mom is personable, easygoing, and understanding, while also describing herself as very Type A and exceptionally organized. She values structure, clear communication, accountability, and someone who takes initiative and confidently manages responsibilities without constant direction. Hands-on and involved, Mom appreciates someone collaborative who feels comfortable working alongside her to coordinate activities, prepare meals, and keep the household running smoothly. Having previously welcomed an au pair and live-in nanny, the family hopes to build another lasting relationship with their caregiver.

The family enjoys an active lifestyle and regularly travels domestically and internationally during school breaks, including spending summers in Cape Cod. Their nanny will accompany them on these trips, with arrangements made for time at home with loved ones during major holidays. They also have a friendly 20-pound mini Goldendoodle.

Who Thrives Here:

This position is ideal for a professional nanny who is naturally playful, energetic, and personable, while also being highly organized, dependable, and proactive. The family is looking for someone with a fun, big-sister-like personality who genuinely loves children and enjoys getting on their level. Someone who might spontaneously create a pretend spa day, organize a creative art project, invent an imaginative game, or turn an ordinary afternoon into something memorable. They want a nanny who takes a genuine interest in the girls' personalities, builds meaningful connections, and brings enthusiasm to their everyday experiences.

Equally important is someone who has a strong sense of ownership and takes pride in keeping a household organized. With four children, busy extracurricular schedules, and an active family lifestyle, the ideal candidate will be comfortable managing multiple priorities, anticipating needs, and maintaining routines independently. They appreciate someone who is detail-oriented, follows through consistently, and confidently manages childcare and household responsibilities while the children are at school.

The family values a calm, patient, and emotionally mature caregiver who can navigate different personalities and big emotions with kindness and consistency. Someone who remains composed, communicates honestly, and is receptive to feedback will thrive in this home. The right nanny will be confident without being rigid, comfortable working alongside hands-on parents, and able to adapt when plans change.

Above all, they are seeking someone who brings a wonderful balance of warmth and professionalism: a playful companion to the children, a dependable partner to Mom, and a positive, trusted presence in their home.

Daily Rhythm:

Mornings begin around 7:15 AM, assisting the girls with their school routines, preparing them for the day, and safely transporting them to school. During school hours, the remaining morning time will be dedicated to household management, including grocery shopping, meal preparation, children's laundry, organizing bedrooms and play areas, restocking supplies, and completing errands.

Afternoons will focus on school pickups, transportation to extracurricular activities, coordinating playdates, and engaging the girls in creative, age-appropriate activities. The family appreciates a nanny who enjoys being active, encourages outdoor play, and makes everyday experiences fun through imaginative games, arts and crafts, baking, and exploring the community.

Child-related responsibilities include preparing meals and snacks, planning weekly children's menus, managing children's laundry and linens, organizing clothing and toys, maintaining play areas and bedrooms, shopping for children's needs, coordinating activities, and keeping parents updated throughout the day.

Household management responsibilities include ordering and stocking household essentials, weekly grocery shopping, light family meal preparation, general tidying and organization, running errands, packing and unpacking for travel, and managing seasonal clothing. This is not a housekeeping position, but rather a role for someone who enjoys creating order and helping a busy household operate efficiently.

The family enjoys regular date nights and appreciates flexibility for evening, weekend, and overnight childcare, including periods when the parents travel.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 3 years of professional childcare experience

• Experience caring for multiple children and managing busy family schedules

• Strong organizational skills and willingness to take on household management responsibilities

• Strong driving skills, valid driver's license, and clean driving record

• Strong swimming abilities

• Comfortable preparing children's meals; an interest in cooking is a plus

• Travel-ready, with a valid U.S. passport and willingness to travel domestically and internationally, including school breaks and holidays

• Flexibility for regular evening, weekend, and overnight childcare

• Infant and newborn experience is a plus, but not required

• Previous live-in nanny experience preferred

• Ability to pass a background check

• Comfortable with pets; the family has a 20-pound mini Goldendoodle

This position is open to candidates who are legally authorized to work in the United States.
