THEIR IDEAL NANNY:
This family is looking for a warm, engaged, and mindful nanny who takes genuine joy in spending time with young children. The ideal candidate sees their role not just as a caregiver but as a trusted and valued presence in the children’s daily lives—someone who delights in their company, encourages their curiosity, and nurtures their independence.
The family follows a Montessori-inspired approach and prioritizes emotional intelligence, supporting their children in expressing and processing big feelings in a healthy way. They seek a nanny who is patient, calm, and centered—someone who does not take toddler emotions personally and responds with understanding rather than reaction. Instead of enforcing punishments, they use language that acknowledges emotions while setting clear boundaries, encouraging the children to articulate their needs and work through challenges collaboratively. The nanny should be open to mirroring this approach and embracing the family’s mindful and intentional parenting style.
Engagement is key, as screens are not a part of the daily routine unless a child is sick. The home is set up for rich, hands-on play, with an incredible playroom featuring monkey bars, a climbing wall, a foam pit, and imaginative play spaces. The nanny should enjoy fostering creativity through music, art, outdoor adventures, and interactive storytelling. Whether it’s dressing up in costumes, making up silly voices during story time, or dancing to music, the ideal nanny will be someone who truly enjoys playing and being present with the children.
Reliability is essential, as the family values consistency and structure. The nanny should take good care of their own well-being and be dependable in their schedule. Organizational skills are a plus, as small tasks like tidying play areas, checking mail, and handling children’s laundry are part of the daily rhythm. The family appreciates someone who naturally looks for ways to be helpful and takes pride in maintaining a clean and organized environment.
A typical day begins at 9:00 a.m. with one-on-one time with the toddler, engaging in play, feeding, and outdoor activities. During nap times, the nanny assists with light household tasks before transitioning to caring for the older sibling in the afternoon. The late afternoon and early evening are filled with free play, outings to nearby parks, and supporting the children in their natural rhythms until dinner.
The nanny should also be open to occasional travel with the family. Experience with infants and managing multiple children is ideal.
Ultimately, the family seeks someone who will be a loving, steady, and playful presence in their children’s lives—someone who aligns with their values, becomes a trusted part of their home, embracing their values of warmth, curiosity, and connection and finds joy in being an integral part of their daily world—possibly for years to come.
