Job Description:
- Active, Floor-Playing Infant Nanny Needed for Dynamic WFH Family (Flexible Part-Time Schedule!)
Are you a proactive, playful, and safety-conscious nanny who loves getting down on the floor to encourage milestones, read books, and teach through play? If so, an incredible work-from-home family in the Kansas City area wants to welcome you into their home!
This short-term positioning is the perfect opportunity for a nanny looking for a rewarding, highly collaborative role with a clear, fixed timeline through October.
**Position Overview & Schedule**
Start Date: Immediate / ASAP
End Date: End of October (Daycare spot opens the first Monday of November)
Primary Focus: Caring for a happy, crawling, and highly active 8.5-month-old baby girl.
The Perfect Schedule for You: The family's ideal schedule is Wednesdays and Thursdays for 8 hours a day, arriving between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM.
Incredible Flexibility: Need more hours? The family is incredibly flexible and happy to customize a schedule just for you! They can expand the role to 3 days a week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) and can scale your shift length anywhere from 5 to 8 hours per day, up to 24 hours per week total. (Note: Mondays and Fridays are firm days off, as loving grandmothers handle care on those days)
**Why You’ll Love This Job**
The Ultimate Collaborative Environment: Both parents work full-time from home and have a fantastic rhythm. They are incredibly approachable and explicitly encourage open communication. If you ever have a question about a cry or need a second pair of hands, their doors are open!
Nursing Support Built-In: Mom is breastfeeding and loves to nurse the baby between her work meetings.
No Driving Required: You will not be responsible for driving the child anywhere independently. Any rare outings are fully accompanied by a parent.
Minimal Chore Burden: Zero heavy diaper laundry! The family uses cloth diapers, but Mom handles 100% of the washing, laundering, and sanitizing at night. You only need to place wet diapers in the designated sink area.
Two Sweet Furry Assistants: The household includes two low-maintenance, deeply loved senior dogs who spend most of their day sleeping or lounging on the deck.
**What the Ideal Candidate Looks Like**
Active & Engaging: You genuinely love getting down on the floor to play, sing, read books, and interact directly with a curious baby, rather than passively supervising from a chair.
Go-With-The-Flow Personality: You are easygoing, positive, reliable, and organized (not scatterbrained).
Empathetic & Attentive: The baby has a mild, manageable heart condition (WPW) that simply means she cannot be left to "cry it out" or get severely worked up. The ideal nanny is someone who is highly attentive and uses quick, gentle soothing techniques, like patting, soft talking, or holding a pacifier, to keep her calm and secure.
Sleep Training Enthusiast: The parents are eager to teach the baby to self-soothe and are looking for a nanny who can confidently support putting her down awake for her daily naps.
Screen-Free Champion: The family maintains a strict zero-screen-time policy. Instead, they love a home filled with music and encourage you to play your favorite playlists or children's music.
