WHO/WHAT: Are you a confident and organized nanny who’s not afraid to get a little dirt under your fingernails? Do you have a system for how to encourage homework completion and a knack for making kids feel safe around you? These delightful parents are urgently looking for afterschool care for their playful daughters. For the right person—and if so desired by the nanny—these hours can increase to five days per week. Flexibility for the occasional date night will also be greatly appreciated. At a minimum, you’ll work Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm. During that time, you’ll be a homework coach who’s also ready to lend a sage, nonjudgmental ear to ten and six-year-old sisters. These young ladies are smart and playful but do sometimes struggle with keeping on task. You’ll create a system to help them increase focus and motivation. After homework’s done, you’ll head outside to the backyard and get silly (and muddy!), preferably with the puppy. The tiny five-month-old furball won’t need much beyond the odd bathroom break. If time allows or you opt for 15 weekly hours, the family would love help with meal prep for the week, cooking, helping with the children’s laundry, vacuuming, and general tidying. You also must have your own transportation to occasionally take the girls out for activities. Due to the educational objectives of this role, you’ll score huge bonus points if you have a college degree. So if this sounds like you then APPLY TODAY so we can—once and for all—eliminate the “dog ate their homework” excuse.

THE IDEAL NANNY IS… STRATEGIC! Organized and patient, you have a gift for designing, implementing, and maintaining repeatable systems. Confident, kind, and academic, people—especially children—regard you as a trustworthy role model they can learn from and with whom they can fearlessly share their feelings. In this home, junk food, soda, and screentime are strongly limited, while being outdoors and connecting with the earth is highly encouraged. And that fits you just fine because you’re proactive, crunchy, and have a ton of common sense. This role is intended to last for the next several years and starts as soon as we find you so APPLY RIGHT NOW!
