WHO/WHAT: M om doesn't need someone to take over—she needs someone to tag in. With three kids, three different schedules, and a household energy level the family cheerfully rates a “10+,” she's looking for the kind of nanny who sees family life as a team sport. Mom recently stepped away from her career and plans to remain the kids' primary caregiver, so this is less "here are my children, see you at 5!" and much more divide, conquer, and enjoy the day together. Some hours you'll be hanging with their easygoing, sweet 1-year-old while Mom tackles homework with big brother; other times Mom may steal an hour of baby snuggles while you fold tiny laundry, prep fruit for the week, or reset the playroom. Mom is even the type who says, "If I'm making lunch, I'm making lunch for you too." They truly want someone who becomes an extension of their family.

Their easygoing 1-year-old will be your primary sidekick throughout the day while the older two attend school on varying schedules. You'll help Mom juggle school drop-offs and pickups (all within about 10 minutes of home), naps, meals, playtime, and the everyday logistics that inevitably come with three little humans.

When the kids are happily occupied or at school, you'll jump into family-assistant tasks: children's laundry, changing sheets, tidying bedrooms and the playroom, vacuuming kid spaces, bringing in groceries, chopping fruits and veggies, light dinner prep, and generally noticing the little things that make the household easier to manage. There's also one senior, hypoallergenic pup who needs to be let outside once or twice during the day and would happily join you and the baby for an occasional walk. Dad works from home but travels frequently and is in and out throughout the day. Mom is home and highly involved, so you'll need to genuinely enjoy working alongside parents rather than feeling like you need the house to yourself. The family keeps a consistent schedule but will abandon it in a heartbeat for something fun—pool days, parks, bike rides, ice cream, and time with their large circle of family friends are all favorites. Outings and playdates are encouraged, and the nanny can use their own vehicle or a family car if available. They'd also love someone who can occasionally flex earlier or later when Dad travels, with advance notice whenever possible.

Perhaps most importantly, these parents care deeply about treating employees the way they'd want to be treated themselves. They want open communication, mutual respect, and someone who feels comfortable in their home. They're hoping this isn't simply their nanny for the school year, but the person who stays for the next 3-4 years as all three kids eventually make their way into school.

THE IDEAL NANNY IS… ROCK-SOLID RELIABLE. If you say you'll be there, this family never wonders whether you actually will be. You're punctual, communicative, honest, level-headed, and equipped with the kind of common sense that can't really be taught. When plans change, you don't panic. When both parents are stuck at work, you're the calm person they know has everything handled. You're someone who takes ownership. You don't take advantage of a family that trusts you with significant flexibility; you look for ways to return that trust. If there's laundry to fold, dinner ingredients to chop, groceries to grab, or a household system that could use a reset, you're happy to jump in. And when their son needs you, everything else can wait—because you understand that being his person is the most important part of your job. You don't necessarily need decades of nanny experience. Warmth, good judgment, honesty, flexibility, and genuine care for children matter enormously to these parents. They want someone who can be playful enough to build Legos on the floor, responsible enough to handle the unexpected, and trustworthy enough that two parents can focus on their patients knowing the most important person in their world is completely taken care of.

For the right person, this is a pretty remarkable setup: full-time guaranteed pay, a flexible schedule, and a family that understands exactly what that kind of dependable availability is worth. If you're looking for a family to truly invest in—and you want them to invest just as deeply in you—we'd love to meet you. APPLY TODAY!
