Job Description:

  • Professional Nanny Wanted: Long-Term Role for Active Infant

    Are you a nanny who values clear communication, structured routines, and a professional home environment? A local family is seeking a dedicated caregiver to join their team and help their 5-month-old son thrive.

    This is a "parents-at-home" dynamic. We are seeking a candidate who is comfortable working alongside two remote-working professionals while maintaining a focus on independent, high-quality infant care.

    The Ideal Candidate

    A "Direct" Communicator: You prefer clear, informational exchanges over passive communication. You are comfortable providing and receiving professional updates throughout the day.

    Grammatically Precise: You understand that language development starts now. You use correct grammar and avoid slang or cursing around the child.

    The "Silent Operator": You can navigate a home where parents "pop out" for coffee or lunch without needing constant social engagement, respecting the flow of a busy remote-work day.

    Routine-Oriented: You appreciate a household that tracks data (feeding/sleep) to stay in sync with the child’s needs.

    Schedule & Availability

    Start Date: August 2026.

    Initial Hours: * Mon: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

    Tue/Thu: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

    Wed: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM

    October Transition: Friday availability (10:00 AM – 3:00 PM) will be required starting in mid-October.

    Key Responsibilities

    Infant Care: Managing bottle-feeding (pumped milk), facilitating contact naps (must be held to sleep), and engaging in developmentally appropriate play.

    Physical Therapy Support: Continuing gentle stretches and tummy time to support the infant’s ongoing physical therapy goals.

    Household Contributions: During nap times, you will assist with the child’s laundry, running the bottle washer, loading the dishwasher, and occasional light meal prep.

    Active Engagement: Taking the infant for walks in the neighborhood or short trips to the nearby park (car seat provided).

    Home Culture & Safety

    Health Standards: Must be up to date on all standard vaccines. We maintain a "Shoes Off / Wash Hands First" household.

    Environment: No screens allowed. You will have access to a voice-activated smart-home system and an audio box for curated music and stories.

    Dog-Friendly: You’ll share the space with a friendly Shih Tzu who is the baby’s best friend.

    Physical Stamina: Ability to navigate stairs in the event of elevator maintenance.
