Are you a nanny able to jump in when needed and work as a team? Then this is the job for you!

This position is set to start at the end of February, after the birth of child #2. Mom is looking forward to 6 months of maternity leave to heal and adjust to life as a mom of 2. The 21-month-old loves Elmo, drawing, singing, dancing, and is a happy, silly kid! She is quick to warm up and will melt your heart with her sweet laughter. There are beautiful places nearby for outings and meeting other nannies close by. Fresh air and fun are encouraged!

This is a single-parent household, and the ideal nanny will be mature and collaborative. This position requires strong communication skills and flexibility. You may be caring for one or both children at any given time. Throughout the first six months, friends and family will be visiting to provide support, so the nanny must be able to work independently and appreciate the love and support of a village.

Mom is very hard-working and loves hiking and time with friends. She is looking forward to hiring a nanny as she had a wonderful experience with their previous nanny. Keeping both children at home is ideal for mom s healing and to limit germs and sickness in the home while the baby is developing an immune system.

At the end of 6 months, mom will return to work full-time, and a 6-month extension will be an option if everyone is on board. The nanny would then provide care for both children during working hours. This position can be live-in or live-out. If you are interested in this position, apply today!
