EH101 - Full-Time Nanny - Miami, FL + Travel

Overview

A wonderful family of 3, soon to be 4, based in Miami is seeking a live-out Norland style nanny for their energetic 2-year-old daughter and baby due early September. They are looking for a nanny who can work a very flexible schedule, typically Monday through Friday, with 9-hour days, and sometimes weekends. The nanny will be able to pool extra days worked to take extended vacations (5 weeks at a time) twice a year. A very comfortable separate apartment is provided close by. 

The parents are very hands-on, family orientated, and like to be as involved as possible in their children's life. Mom can work from home and has a flexible schedule, so there will often be occasions where you will be working together as a team.

This is a travel heavy role with the family frequently traveling to their homes in other states, including Connecticut, New York, and Georgia. The family spends much of the Summer out west in Colorado and Montana. Separate accommodation will be provided for the candidate when traveling.

The family don't have any pets but the grandparents, who live close by in Palm Beach, have two hypoallergenic dogs. So, the candidate should be comfortable with this.

The ideal start date would be August to ensure a smooth handover with their current nanny.

• The family would like someone who sees working with children as a career
• The family prefers not to expose their children to screens and television at this point, and is looking for a nanny who enjoys nature and is very energetic, imaginative and active
• The ideal candidate must be a "yes" person and a team player who is able to work with many other team members as they will be coordinating with staff across multiple properties
