THE DETAILS

This family of three is looking for a fun weekend playmate for their little guy! Mom is a physician and dad is a lawyer, so they both have demanding positions that fill up their day and often carry over into the weekend. Hailing from Canada and Massachusetts, they don’t have family in town so they’re looking for an extension of themselves to be an integral part of their village! They have a full time weekday nanny and have had a weekend nanny for the past year, so this dynamic works well for them.

They are looking for a professional who can bring a fun and safe approach to the day and take the initiative to go to the park, do crafts, or play at home with his toys. They do not do screen time household, so the day will include lots of active playtime, engagement/talking with their son and spending time outdoors. A typical day will be arriving at their home, diving in to playtime, feeding the child lunch, putting him down for a nap, and then either leaving when a parent relieves during nap or staying through the nap (Sundays). He goes to some set activities in the afternoons with his mom and dad, so they don’t need someone later in the day on the weekends. They would really love it if the nanny in this role could also help out in the evenings from time to time during the week when they have a work event happening, but the weekends are the priority.

Ideal candidates would be able to problem solve and not need a ton of direction once the position is learned and comfortable. They are on a great schedule and are all used to this dynamic so it should be easy to step in to. They are very flexible if you have a personal commitment on a Saturday or Sunday, they would just ask for advance notice so they can plan ahead. They do travel about once a quarter and the weekend would be off as well, they can be very flexible for the right fit and understand many personal obligations fall on weekends.
