We are seeking a full-time, live-in nanny to provide comprehensive and engaging care for two young children. The family is looking for a long-term commitment with an ideal start date after Labor Day, though they are open to an earlier start for the right candidate.

Responsibilities

The nanny's primary responsibilities will revolve around the children's well-being and daily routine.

One child will attend school in the fall, and the other will start next year. The nanny will be responsible for school drop-offs and pick-ups for both children.
• Safety and Health: Ensuring the children's safety at all times, including supervision around a locked pool area. The children do not have significant medical needs, though the youngest has eczema. The nanny will be responsible for diaper changes and occasional bath times and bedtimes.

• Activities & Errands: Transporting children to and from activities. Occasionally, the nanny may be responsible for other children during playdates.
• Flexibility: The role requires flexibility for occasional overnight stays, especially during severe weather events, and potential travel with the family, both domestically and internationally, requiring a valid passport. The family travels and prefers a nanny who can accompany them, but they are open to providing paid time off if the nanny does not travel with them.

• Benefits: Standard benefits will be provided, including 2 weeks of paid time off, 2 paid sick days, and 3 paid personal days. The family is open to discussing healthcare contributions.

This is a live-in position with comfortable accommodations.

• Private Space: The nanny will have a private bedroom and a full bathroom on the first floor.
