WHO/WHAT: Robert Palmer famously sang, “Doctor, Doctor, give me the news, I got a bad case of lovin’ you.” Well, we have two doctors with a long history of staff who adore working for them, and this next job has plenty of good news! We placed this family with their previous nanny a few years ago, and it was a giant success! We want to do it again. This incredible couple seeks a health-conscious professional who’ll integrate into their family in a long-term role. You’ll typically work weekday hours with one weekend shift per month, focusing your attention on a smart, curious, and caring three-year-old boy. The tiny outdoor explorer loves to go for walks and play at the local neighborhood park. He’s super interested in bugs and birds, and you’ll spend the majority of your time being active and learning from nature. His thoughtful, helpful, and optimistic big sister is six years old and attends school or summer camp, and you’ll be responsible for getting her on and off the bus (right at the end of their driveway!). She thrives on connection, so when she IS around, she’ll need to be included in your fun. Artsy and creative, you’ll color, paint, sing, and dance together. During any downtime, you’ll help with light household management tasks which include the children’s laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, tidying up, light dinner prep, and running errands. There’s a eight-year-old mid-sized doggie who’s gentle and very easy company; he’ll need to be let in and out for bathroom breaks and will require the occasional water top-off. There are no allergies and no forbidden foods but this family champions a healthy lifestyle and their nanny should do the same. You will need to drive the little fellow to activities and outings that interest him (Mom & Dad are open to suggestions!), preferably in your own vehicle, and must have your CPR up to date. It would be ideal if you know how to swim, as the family frequents the local pool.  Mom will be settling into a new role, and your schdule will be reflective of hers. Dad runs a private practice and will mostly be working out of the home. As another bonus, the family frequently spends long weekends in the summer at Chautauqua Lake, and they’d be open to the nanny accompanying them for additional pay/hours. We’re ready to start as soon as we find you so APPLY right now!

THE IDEAL NANNY IS…COMMUNICATIVE & FLEXIBLE! You interact well with both kids and adults. A constant observer of children’s behavior, you see and react to how they respond to your communication style. You can encourage speech development for the little guy while creating a safe, curious, and compassionate child-led environment. Experienced with children of this age group, you know how to create engaging activities children enjoy but which also enhance their development, prioritizing outdoor activities and athletic play. You’re calm, patient, and empathetic to emotional needs, regardless of what gets thrown your way. Organized, proactive, and trustworthy, you’re eager to support the family’s values and are looking for a long-term role. Last but not least, you follow an active, healthy lifestyle, and adore spending time in the great outdoors. This family is open to applicants newer to the nanny world, so if this sounds like you, then APPLY today!
