A Nashville-based family of 7 is looking to add to their staffed home in Nashville, TN (37215). They are looking to hire a rotational nanny to join their team of nannies to work a two-week on, two-week off shift. When on duty, the nannies will work in teams of two (always on at the same time), so a team-like approach to caring for this family’s five children (ages 4,4, 5, 12 + 14) is an essential quality they are looking for in candidates. If not local to Nashville, housing will be provided in a separate staff home across the street from their home with a private room and bathroom, fully stocked fridge, and more. Local candidates are welcome to leave for the evening if they will not be required to stay overnight, however, the two week on shift would be “on call” and the hours needed will change day to day.


SCHEDULE
As-needed for the two weeks on: the weekends are heavily childcare focused and there is more flexibility during the weekdays for breaks and downtime. The schedule generally follows the parent’s work schedule, and they are gone most weekends and home during the week.
Start date: ASAP
Duration: This is a full time, long term position
