They hope to find someone who can start as soon as possible. After trying daycare briefly, the family realized the unpredictable nature and frequent illness weren't the right fit, and they are now excited to bring a dedicated caregiver into their home. Their daughter is a happy, growing baby who sleeps through the night and follows a generally consistent nap schedule. She enjoys engaging playtime, sitting upright in bouncers, and interactive activities. She currently drinks formula exclusively, is growing quickly, and has begun incorporating solids. The ideal nanny is reliable, mature, and committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment. Reliability is especially important, as both parents have demanding and sometimes unpredictable schedules. A positive attitude and energetic presence are highly valued, this little one responds wonderfully to a cheerful, engaging demeanor. Responsibilities include: Providing attentive care and age-appropriate engagement (reading, developmental play, enrichment activities) Preparing simple meals as the baby begins solids Baby-related light laundry Maintaining a safe and clean environment throughout the day Letting the family's low-maintenance dog outside into the fenced yard as needed, and feeding the dog. Requirements: Up-to-date on TDAP and standard childhood vaccinations Flu Vaccine preferred Professional experience with infants and strong references A reliable personal vehicle with room for a car seat A clean driving record Comfort with a friendly household dog Schedule: Monday-Friday, typically 8:30 AM-5:30 PM, 45 hours a week. Flexibility is appreciated during periods when Dad travels for work (every few months), as Mom's schedule can require longer days. Dad works from home but remains in his office for most of the day, stepping out for brief breaks to say hello. The family is excited to welcome a nanny into their home and would love to follow your lead with development and age-appropriate activities. They are looking for a loving and consistent presence to be in her life for several years.
