THEIR IDEAL NANNY:

This family is looking for an energetic, spunky and considerate nanny who thrives in a dynamic household and engages fully with their children. They need someone dependable, punctual (even early), and communicative. The ideal nanny balances fun and structure, enthusiastically playing with the kids while also leading cleanup efforts to maintain a tidy space at the end of the day.

A strong morning presence is essential. With Dad starting work early and Mom catching up on much-needed rest, the nanny will take the lead in getting breakfast ready, helping the older kids prepare for school, and walking Child 1 to school by 8 a.m. On select days, Child 2 will also need to be prepped for school, though Mom will typically handle drop-off. Once the older kids are at school, the focus shifts to caring for Child 3 (and Child 2 on Tuesdays), allowing Mom time to rest and manage family responsibilities. Mom would be grateful if their nanny would be open to collaborate on assisting with light housekeeping tasks such as meal prep and laundry during nap times. A family vehicle will be available for transporting the kids as needed.

Keeping the children engaged is a priority. The baby will need a mix of tummy time, rolling practice, and stroller walks, with an effort to encourage crib naps while also providing comfort when held. Child 2 enjoys puzzles, books, and building activities like Legos and Magnet Tiles, and a walk to the playground on Tuesdays would be a great way to get outside. On Sundays, when all three kids are home, facilitating free play, creative activities, and sibling bonding time will keep their nanny occupied! The family strongly prefers a screen-free approach, encouraging active and imaginative play throughout the day.

The family values face-to-face interactions and prefers a nanny who does not wear a facemask in the home so that their baby can fully engage with facial expressions for developmental growth. Reliability, organization, and a collaborative spirit are key. The family needs a nanny who takes initiative, supports their parenting approach, and enjoys being a positive presence in their family’s daily life.
