Summer Nanny Needed For 8-Year-Old In Troy

About the job

We are seeking a summer nanny for the oldest (age 8) while his 4-year-old twin brothers attend daycare during the week. He thrives under 1-on-1 adult attention, and he has formed close bonds with many caregivers from this kind of quality time. He enjoys playing outdoors, visiting the swim club down the street, making forts, playing board games, being read to, and - above all else - anything to do with Pokemon (he is quite knowledgeable and LOVES to educate and question others). The best summer nanny for this child is resourceful and creative and will keep him engaged in varied, stimulating play from day to day. Far from a pushover, they excel in projecting a "fun but firm" demeanor, and they are comfortable reinforcing good behavior habits like respectful communication, a good attitude, and age-appropriate frustration management.
