Experienced, Energetic, and Nurturing Nanny Needed for an Active Infant
About Our Family
We are a loving family seeking an experienced, dependable, and engaging nanny to care for our infant son as Mom transitions back into the workforce. Mom will be working remotely from home and is looking for someone who can provide attentive, hands-on care while establishing a consistent and developmentally appropriate daily routine.
Our little boy is active, curious, and loves exploring his surroundings! We are looking for someone who can keep up with his growing energy, introduce new activities, and encourage his development through meaningful play and experiences. We value a screen-free environment and want someone who is fully present and engaged throughout the day.
As first-time parents, we are navigating several exciting transitions, including introducing solid foods and establishing more consistent sleep routines. We would love to find a knowledgeable, patient nanny who can confidently help guide these transitions while respecting our parenting preferences.
Our home has an open floor plan, and Mom will be working nearby with occasional interaction throughout the day. We also have two large, friendly dogs, so comfort around pets is important!
