Job Description

Start Date: ASAP
Location: Birmingham, MI 48009
Compensation: $28–$35/hour
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM (Tuesdays may run a bit later)
Guaranteed Hours: 40 hours/week

Overview:
A warm, easygoing family in Birmingham, MI is looking for a full-time, long-term, live-out nanny. The family has three children, ages 1, 3, and 5. The 3- and 5-year-olds attend school, and the 1-year-old is in your care during the day.

Mornings start with helping get the children ready for the day and caring for the baby during school drop-off. The day includes naps, lunch prep, walks, library and park outings, and light tidying. In the afternoon the older children come home, and you’ll have all three together for less than an hour.

The family wants a proactive, happy, energetic and very active nanny who knows how to manage little ones well, especially toddlers. Someone health-conscious and into fitness is a plus. This person should be able to step in wherever help is needed without being asked. The family loves a tidy home. Meals and snacks happen only in the kitchen, the children are encouraged to clean up after themselves, and screens are used only when a child is sick. A cleaning service handles weekly deep cleaning.

The family travels about three times a year during school vacations and would like their nanny to come along. Your schedule stays the same while traveling. All travel expenses are covered, and you’ll have your own accommodations. During summer and school breaks the schedule remains 40 hours per week, but times may shift around day camp.

Benefits: Paid holidays, 2 weeks paid vacation (1 week chosen by the family, 1 week chosen by the nanny), 5 sick/personal days, W-2 payroll, paid travel expenses with private accommodations

Responsibilities:

• Help get the children ready each morning
• Provide full-day care for the 1-year-old, including feeding, naps, play and age-appropriate developmental activities
• Care for all three children together in the afternoon, including unloading backpacks and serving snacks
• Prepare meals and snacks for the children
• Plan outings and activities such as walks, park visits and library trips
• Bathe the children as needed
• Handle children’s laundry, dishes and general tidying
• Keep play areas, children’s rooms and common spaces organized
• Reinforce house routines, including meals in the kitchen, cleanup habits and limited screen time
• Drive the children locally (within a few miles of home)
• Travel with the family about three times a year

Requirements:

• Prior professional nanny experience, with strong toddler experience
• Proactive, organized and able to multitask
• Patient, caring, energetic and upbeat, with a fun approach to childcare
• Able to work independently and take initiative
• Flexible with scheduling as needed
• Available to travel with the family about three times a year; valid passport a plus
• Valid driver’s license required
• Strong swimmer, comfortable swimming with children
• Current CPR and First Aid certification
• 3–5 professional references
• Long-term commitment

Upon submitting this form, you will be considered for any suitable positions, so there is no need to complete multiple applications.
