About the Family

A warm, active, and welcoming private family is seeking an energetic, creative, and experienced Weekend Live-In Nanny to join their household. The family has three young boys, ages 5, 3, and 1, and is expecting a new baby in May.

Mom is a stay-at-home parent who is very involved in the children's daily routines and activities. The family is looking for a nanny who will work collaboratively with her, providing an extra set of hands while confidently stepping in wherever needed.

The older boys have active schedules filled with outings and extracurricular activities, and Mom is frequently on the go with them. The ideal nanny will be comfortable caring for the younger children at home, engaging the older boys in imaginative play, and assisting with outings and activities as needed.

This family values a warm, friendly working relationship while maintaining clear professional boundaries. They want someone who feels comfortable and included in the household, enjoys friendly conversation, and understands the importance of discretion and professionalism.

Children: Three boys, ages 5, 3, and 1, with a fourth baby expected in May.

Pets: One friendly, 40-pound Pointer mix who is 15 years old.

Household: Stay-at-home mother who will work closely with the nanny.

Responsibilities

• Provide attentive, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate care for the children, including assisting with the newborn following the baby's arrival.
• Engage the children in creative, imaginative, and interactive play that encourages learning, development, and socialization.
• Work as a collaborative teammate with Mom, following her lead on parenting preferences, daily routines, and household expectations.
• Take initiative and offer thoughtful ideas for activities while remaining flexible and respectful of Mom's direction.
• Communicate frequently and positively with the children, encouraging language development, curiosity, and age-appropriate independence.
• Plan engaging activities and opportunities for socialization, both inside and outside the home.
• Be equally comfortable organizing outings and spending quality time with the children at home.
