THE DETAILS

Now that they have the parenting basics down, this couple is excited to welcome their second child and also find a compassionate and (overly) communicative nanny to add to their growing needs. They are still developing their parenting style and considering what will be best for their kids, but they remain open to learning from their nanny on a lot of things. When beginning the position, the nanny will be responsible for B1, and eventually the new baby after their arrival. Since mom runs her own business, she will slowly be introducing work tasks in the coming weeks until she is full time.

At the moment, their sole focus is having someone who is consistent, punctual and experienced with babies and newborns. They want to focus on getting into a routine with two and ensuring the children are meeting their developmental milestones. They will prioritize a comforting and nurturing individual who is confident and supportive. A formal education in early childhood development or similar would stand out to this family. Mom and Dad work a hybrid schedule from their home offices and out in the field, but they love to be kept in the loop with updates. Additional support will be all child-related as the family has a household manager who covers a lot of family needs. Basics like keeping inventory of children’s products, prepping the children’s food/bottles, and keeping toys, clothing and other child-items organized and tidy. They are seeking a true professional who can bring up needs or be a resource of knowledge for what to expect next in each child’s development. Having a focus on educational and enriching time spent with the children and keeping them on their routines/schedules is important to this family. A playful, engaging and nurturing nanny is a great fit for their needs.

With the nature of their jobs, they would prefer to hire someone who is flexible for occasional overtime on evenings and weekends when they have events to attend. They also occasionally have to travel for work which may mean they need overnights, or have their nanny travel with them to work or vacation destinations. Comfort around cats is also important, they have two indoor Bengal cats.
