Job Description
A bit about us: We’re an open-minded, caring family of 4 who enjoy reading, learning, healthy home-cooked meals, and connecting with nature. My husband and I are both scientists; we like structure and tend to create a calm, thoughtful environment. We also like to have fun and be silly with our kids! I work from home 2 days a week and would love the chance to soak in a little baby time when I have breaks or at the end of my work day while our nanny helps with the dinner prep. My husband works outside the home. We are practicing respectful parenting, and looking for someone open to learning new things, and working collaboratively with us.
Our baby girl is a peaceful infant. She’ll turn 7 months old in late January. Her idea of a fun afternoon is lying on a picnic blanket in a park, looking up at the trees. She also likes when you read books to her. She responds well to people who are gentle and loving.
Our 6-year-old son will usually be at school followed by an after-school program. He is inquisitive, friendly, and very loving towards his younger sister. If you’re able to do date nights 1-2 times a month, you’d be caring for both children.
A bit about you: You are a collaborative, and nurturing nanny with high emotional intelligence. You’re self-aware and naturally helpful without being asked. If you see something that needs to be done, you take initiative. You are dependable, punctual, communicative, respectful, warm and loving. You enjoy the baby years, and you are delighted spending your day with an infant, witnessing precious milestones. You are open to sleep training without the cry-it-out method and aligning with the parents on their decisions about parenting. You love what you do, and you care for children as if they were your own!
