WHO/WHAT: Are you a flexible nanny who wants lots of hours? Is your vibe the more “holistic homesteading hippie” than “urban jungle preppy?” This ultra-chill couple is hoping to add to their current family of three and seek a long-term nanny who’ll help them balance work and home life. Both parents work full-time with Dad working from home part of the time, and Mom anticipates starting an extra demanding job this spring. Typically, you’ll work Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 5:00 pm but sometimes, your shift will switch to cover evening hours and weekends. This is a guarantee, so please be on board with the availability flex. Even better if you also enjoy variety in your tasks, because you’ll get plenty of that in this versatile go-with-the-flow role! Of course, the main character in your workday story will always be the handsome four-year-old boy. He loves learning about dinosaurs, playing with cars, and is quite the budding artist, so get your easel ready because you’ll do a ton of painting together. While he’s at school or otherwise preoccupied, you’ll run the gamut on tasks that keep this house in order. This includes grocery shopping, laundry, washing dishes, vacuuming and sweeping, running errands, and assisting with healthy meal prep. There are no allergies, you will need to drive using your own vehicle for school drop offs and pick ups, and there’s an eight-month-old minibernedoodle who’ll need the occasional walk. This role is ideal for someone with a ton of energy but who appreciates—and contributes to—a patient, peaceful demeanor. For the right nanny, this position could extend for years. So if this sounds like you and you know your dinosaurs (just kidding, we won’t really quiz you), then APPLYasauresrex right now!

THE IDEAL NANNY IS… ADAPTABLE! You’re nurturing, interactive, and creative. Things move quickly and change frequently in this household, so be prepared to go with the flow. The four-year-old boy is strong-willed and independent but can throw the occasional tantrum. This mom is a free spirit; however, she can also easily get stressed out. That’s why it’s key to have someone she can trust to help manage life and home through her upcoming professional transition this spring. So if you describe yourself as  the crunchy-organic type versus the high-maintenance and judgmental type, then we might have met our match so APPLY today!
