Original job description
About the Job We are looking for a kind, patient, energetic, and playful nanny to care for our two little ones! We are hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with young children, encourages learning through play, and loves being actively involved in their day.
*care will be only for 2 year old to start, infant care will be added around July*
What We're Looking For
No screen time: We prefer a screen-free environment and want the children engaged in hands-on play, activities, and everyday experiences.
Structured days: We value a consistent daily routine that balances playtime, learning activities, meals, naps, and outdoor time.
Hands-on engagement: We are looking for someone who enjoys getting down on the floor, playing, reading books, doing crafts, and coming up with fun age-appropriate activities.
Interactive play: Our oldest especially loves dinosaurs, trucks, and anything he can explore and play with. We want someone who will embrace his interests and make playtime fun and engaging rather than relying on independent entertainment.
Childcare Responsibilities
Provide attentive, loving care for both children.
Plan and participate in age-appropriate activities and hands-on play.
Help maintain a consistent daily schedule and routine.
Assist our oldest with potty learning, including bathroom trips, reminders, and help as needed.
Handle diaper changes and general hygiene needs for our baby.
Prepare simple meals and snacks for the children.
Encourage independence, creativity, exploration, and developmental milestones.
Help keep play areas and children's spaces tidy throughout the day.
Ideal Candidate
We are hoping to find someone who is:
Patient, kind, and nurturing.
Energetic, playful, and genuinely enjoys interacting with children.
Proactive and creative when it comes to planning activities.
Reliable, responsible, and attentive.
Comfortable caring for both a toddler and an infant.
Someone who understands the importance of balancing structure with fun!
A Little About Our Home
We have one cat who is very low-maintenance and typically keeps to herself. She usually sleeps in the basement or an upstairs bedroom and doesn't generally come around, so interaction with her should be minimal.
Most importantly, we want someone who will become a positive, caring presence in our children's lives. We value intentional time together, opportunities to learn and explore, and lots of play, laughter, and engagement throughout the day!
*please note that mom works remote full time and will be in the home. Dad works remote occasionally. Candidate must be comfortable with this.*Job basics How often: Full timeHourly rate: $14.00 - $23.00/hourWho we're looking for
