This will be a lawful employee role with a written contract and payroll. Our daughter will be approximately 15 months old by August 2026. She is curious, observant, active, and loves books, music, art, dancing, walking, balls, nature, practical life, and exploring new things. We are seeking a nanny who is: - warm, highly responsive, calm, and reliable; - experienced with toddlers; - fluent in spoken English and able to read expressively; - confident with outdoor and community activities; - respectful of child-led play, bodily autonomy, and growing independence; - able to provide books, storytelling, music, process art, movement, nature, practical life, and recurring social experiences; - comfortable following allergy, health, safety, privacy, and emergency plans; willing to work under a lawful contract and payroll arrangement. ECE, ECEA, Montessori, child-development, teaching, nursing, or related training is preferred but not required. 10 or more years of strong childcare experience and stable long-term references are highly valued. The role includes direct care, child meals, child laundry, hygiene, nap support, outings, play and environment reset. Limited light family-support tasks may be completed when time permits, but childcare always comes first. This is not a general housekeeping role. We hope to build a long-term relationship with the right nanny. The initial agreement will be for one year, with renewal potential and possible future evolution through preschool or a second child. To apply, please send your résumé, availability, expected hourly rate, current location, relevant toddler experience, first-aid status, and brief answers describing how you support separation distress and balance child-led care with developmental activities.
