Childcare Provider

We’re seeking a reliable, emotionally intelligent, and experienced nanny to provide care for our 7-year-old son. This is a legitimate, W-2 job with consistent hours, steady pay, and clear expectations, regulated by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

While this job does involve spending afternoons and summer days swimming, riding bikes, playing sports, reading books, hiking, and doing other fun activities, we are not looking for a casual neighborhood babysitter. We’re offering a higher pay rate because we expect more than passive supervision—we’re looking for someone who sees childcare as meaningful work and brings maturity, presence, and purpose to the role, not just scrolling TikTok and collecting a paycheck.

Our son is a bright, funny, and emotionally complex kid. He does best with someone who:

• Respects his individuality and adapts to his emotional and behavioral needs.
• Understands that not all kids thrive under cookie-cutter care.
• Can maintain calm and composure and perspective during intense, challenging moments.
• Has the ability to connect through conversation, creative play, thoughtful problem-solving, and guidance.

You’re a great fit if you:

• Have prior experience working with emotionally intense, neurodivergent, or sensitive children (nannying, teaching, behavioral support, etc.). Our son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, but he is considered high-functioning and very capable.
• Are dependable and professional—showing up on time, communicating clearly, and following through, as with any traditional W2 position.
• Can manage overseeing basic tasks (simple meals and clean-up, 1st grade homework assignments, effective transitions) while creating a nurturing, interactive and inquisitive environment.
• Know how to set calm boundaries without power struggles or emotional withdrawal.

Qualifications:

• Must pass a criminal background check.
• CPR/First Aid certified preferred
• Reliable transportation and valid drivers license required. Mileage and budget for activities are reimbursed weekly.
• Experience with therapeutic care, special education, or behavioral support is a major plus.

What We Offer:

• A respectful, understanding family who sees you as a partner, not just an employee.
• Consistent hours (8-10 hours/week until June, then 30 hours/week)
• W-2 pay through a state-funded program.
• An opportunity to build a meaningful bond and great memories with a truly special kid and gain valuable experience in this field
• Access to an indoor gym, basketball court, swimming pool, hot tub, game room, etc.
• Weekly budget for dining out, activities, etc. and generous mileage reimbursement

If this sounds like the right fit for you, please apply with a resume and a short note about your relevant experience and approach to caregiving.
