Inside Their World:

An active, close-knit family in College Grove, Tennessee, is excited to welcome an exceptional career nanny into their home! At the heart of this opportunity is their delightful 7-year-old son, a happy, affectionate, and endlessly curious little boy who loves swimming, exploring nature, visiting playgrounds, and discovering new adventures. He has an infectious enthusiasm for life and a wonderful ability to connect with those around him.

Their son thrives with an active lifestyle and enjoys a full schedule of school, developmental therapies, and outdoor activities. As a child on the spectrum, he is sensory-seeking and uses an AAC device to express his thoughts, interests, and needs. The family hopes to find someone who takes genuine pleasure in discovering how he experiences the world, celebrates his growing independence, and makes each day engaging and meaningful.

Family Environment:

Mom and Dad have created a welcoming, health-conscious home where family, connection, and personal growth are deeply valued. Their approach to parenting blends gentle guidance with established routines, an emphasis on emotional intelligence, and a love for healthy living. Together, they enjoy swimming, exploring nature trails, traveling, and making the most of time spent together.

This is a family that takes pride in the relationships they build with their household employees. They have cultivated a positive, appreciative working environment where thoughtful communication, professional development, and individual contributions are genuinely valued. Mom is highly organized and direct in her communication while also being generous, supportive, and invested in the success of those around her.

The household benefits from established systems, clear expectations, and a collaborative daily rhythm. Mom is actively involved in her son's evenings, and the nanny will enjoy working alongside an engaged parent who values professional expertise and shared responsibility.

Schedule:

The family is seeking someone willing to work weekends, as they are non-negotiable for this role. Occasional flexibility, family travel (approximately 3 weeks per year), and very occasional overnights are also required. The nanny must be available on days surrounding holidays, when school is out, and to support the family when their son is sick.

Who Thrives Here:

The family would love to welcome a seasoned, self-assured nanny who genuinely enjoys the energy and curiosity of a school-aged child. Someone who finds joy in being outdoors, embraces an active day, and has a natural ability to turn everyday experiences into opportunities for connection and discovery will feel right at home.

The ideal candidate is warm, composed, and confident in their professional abilities. They communicate openly, appreciate clear expectations, and enjoy the independence that comes with being trusted to manage their responsibilities. A thoughtful understanding of sensory preferences, developmental differences, and alternative communication methods will be particularly valuable.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a career nanny who values meaningful relationships, a well-organized household, and the chance to make a lasting difference in one child's life.

While the family has a dedicated housekeeper and personal assistant, light housekeeping and maintaining a clean, organized environment are important parts of this role. Responsibilities include the child's laundry, dishes, wiping down surfaces, preparing lunches and backpacks, and keeping playrooms, bedrooms, closets, and common areas tidy and organized. Mom has exceptionally high standards for cleanliness and organization and is seeking a proactive self-starter who naturally notices what needs attention, takes initiative, and helps keep the household running smoothly.

Daily Rhythm:

The nanny will enjoy a consistent schedule of 11 am–7 pm Wednesday through Friday and 9 am–5 pm Saturday and Sunday. The day begins with child-related preparation and organization before afternoon school or therapy pickups. This may include preparing lunches for the week, organizing backpacks, handling laundry, assisting the household team, running errands, and completing administrative tasks.

The remainder of the day offers plenty of opportunities for adventure, whether swimming, visiting a favorite park, exploring a nature trail, or enjoying time outdoors. Mom may also assist with activity planning and managing the childcare calendar.

The nanny will support the child's established routines, communication, transitions, meals, and evening bath while encouraging his independence and interests. Additional responsibilities include children's laundry, nutritious meal preparation, organizing play spaces, and keeping his belongings and daily essentials in order.

With Mom regularly participating in afternoon and evening activities, the role offers a collaborative balance between independent childcare and shared family time.

The family enjoys approximately three weeks of planned travel annually to Southwest Florida, and very occasional overnight coverage is requested.

The ideal candidate is a highly organized, proactive self-starter who takes initiative, anticipates needs, and independently manages responsibilities with minimal oversight. The role includes light administrative tasks such as managing a provided work email, accepting and coordinating Google Calendar invitations, and demonstrating basic proficiency with Google Docs and Google Sheets. Occasional online shopping and ordering of child-related supplies will also be required. Strong time management, attention to detail, follow-through, and the ability to prioritize tasks while keeping childcare and safety at the forefront are essential.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional childcare experience, preferably in private households

• Experience supporting children on the spectrum with sensory or developmental differences strongly preferred

• Familiarity with AAC communication or ABA is a plus

• Confident, proactive, emotionally intelligent, and dependable

• Comfortable with structured routines and individualized communication

• Strong interpersonal skills and professional boundaries

• Valid driver's license and excellent driving record

• CPR and First Aid certification

• Ability to pass a comprehensive background check and drug test

• Willingness to travel domestically and provide very occasional overnight care

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