SalaryTHE FAMILY | A warm, nurturing family seeks a dedicated, experienced professional nanny. The ideal candidate possesses a genuine passion for providing exceptional care to toddlers and demonstrates an ability to be present and attentive while respecting the boundaries of the family home.
They exhibit strong initiative, requiring minimal supervision while still being a proactive team player. A love of cooking, exceptional organizational skills, and a solid background in childcare are essential qualifications for this role.
This position offers the opportunity to work in a loving and supportive environment and makes a meaningful impact on the development and well-being of a young and active child.
THE DAUGHTER | At the tender age of 14 months, this little girl is pure energy! Her contagious joy lights up any room she enters. She is bright, joyful, and determined. She needs plenty of stimulation to keep her engaged and focused.
She's always been a developmental powerhouse, hitting milestones early and often. She is not quite walking but is a fast crawler. She also loves to climb. Her home environment has plenty of soft play equipment to keep her climbing habit safe.
There is a saltwater pool at home that she loves to swim in daily in the summer. There is also a park within walking distance, so she goes there often. She loves being social with other kids and climbing everything—she’s quite fearless! She also enjoys visiting indoor playgrounds.
Her days are consistent with routine wake-up, nap times, and bedtime.
She is not a huge eater but does love snacks. She is not fond of water, and her pediatrician advises continuing with formula. She may have an allergy to turkey, but other than that, there are no known allergies.
THE JOB DETAILS | The candidate will provide nurturing and attentive care to this active toddler.
