A Nanny or Babysitter provides care for children in their homes. Stays with children on a regular basis or for occasional day or evening times, or works full time; may live with a family.
A bit about us: We are a dad and daughter duo with a sweet 6-year-old daughter. We love spending time together, whether we're going out to dinner, traveling around the U.S., or enjoying a relaxing evening at home. We love being active outdoors and recently celebrated her learning to ride her bike! At home, we enjoy talking about our day, playing games like Guess Who, swimming, and spending time together in the kitchen cooking and baking. We have a fun, close-knit relationship and enjoy making the most of both our everyday routines and new adventures together.
A bit about you:
We are looking for a compassionate, patient, and upbeat caregiver who brings a happy-go-lucky personality to the role. Our ideal nanny will encourage my daughter's independence by giving her opportunities to do things on her own while providing gentle guidance and support. We appreciate someone who can offer choices and engaging activities rather than simply asking what she wants to do. While we prefer a fun and positive approach over a strict or overly serious style, it's important that our nanny is also comfortable setting clear expectations and maintaining appropriate boundaries. At least two years of childcare experience with children around my daughter's age is preferred. Familiarity with the Jewish faith and/or Hebrew language would be a wonderful bonus!
Job Duties:
The day will begin around 3:00 p.m., when the nanny will meet my daughter at the bus and walk home with her. The afternoon will include providing engaging, screen-free care through outdoor play, creative activities, and projects around the home. Responsibilities will also include preparing and serving dinner around 5:30 p.m., preparing snacks as needed, and completing my daughter's laundry. On later evening shifts, the nanny will help transition into her bedtime routine beginning around 7:30 p.m., with the goal of having her in bed by 8:00 p.m., and remain until approximately 8:30 p.m.
