A little bit about us
We are looking for a trustworthy, caring nanny to help with our son before and after school. In the mornings, we need someone to arrive early, make sure he’s dressed and ready, prepare his meals, and then drive him to school. After school, we need the nanny to pick him up, bring him home, help him change into comfy clothes, and ensure he eats a snack or meal. We’d also love some engaging activities at home afterward, if needed. Light housekeeping and meal prep are part of the role, and since he’s a picky eater, we’ll help you learn his preferred meals. If you’re reliable, patient, and enjoy working with kids, we’d love to hear from you!
* “We’re looking for someone warm and active, who enjoys engaging in fun, screen-free activities with our son. Creativity and enthusiasm for play are a must!”
* “A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record are essential for this role.”
