About Our Family:

We are a loving, active family looking for an exceptional caregiver to join our team as our family grows! We currently have two wonderful, energetic boys (ages 3 years and 15 months), and we are expecting our third child in late February 2027. While our boys can initially be a bit shy around new people, they are deeply affectionate, happy, and thrive in an environment filled with outdoor adventures. We follow a reasonably structured daily routine around meals and naps, balanced with plenty of engaging free play and structured activities. We maintain a strict low-to-no screen time policy.

Role & Responsibilities:

As our nanny, you will play a vital role in creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for our children.

Your primary duties will include:

Childcare & Enrichment:

Planning and leading age-appropriate, engaging activities, crafts, and outdoor play (walks, running around, park visits).

Meal Prep:

Preparing nutritious meals and snacks for the children.

Household Support:

Light housekeeping, including vacuuming, general tidying, and keeping children's spaces organized.

Routine Management:

Respecting and maintaining our consistent schedule for naps, meals, and daily transitions.

Schedule & Flexibility:

The mother works on a casual basis as a nurse and has flexibility that allows her to pick up hospital shifts ranging from same-day notice to 1-2 months in advance.

Hours:

15 to 30 hours per week.

Format:

We are open to a flexible part-time arrangement or a specialized sitting service model (typically watching the children 2-3 times per week for variable blocks of 4 to 10 hours at a time).

Requirement:

True flexibility on a week-to-week basis is essential to accommodate shifting hospital schedules.

What We Are Looking For:

The ideal candidate possesses the following qualities and qualifications:

Experience:

Demonstrated professional experience caring for toddlers and newborns/infants.

Personality:

Active, upbeat, patient, calm under pressure, and capable of seamlessly prioritizing children's needs.

Character:

Honest, timely, loving, respectful, collaborative, and comfortable following detailed direction and timelines.

Health & Lifestyle:

Must enjoy being outdoors and active. Must be completely allergy-free to cats (we have 2 friendly Bengal cats in the home).
