We are seeking a compassionate, patient, and highly experienced nanny to care for our three boys, ages 6, 8 and 9 during the summer. Our children are spirited and face some emotional and behavioral challenges, so we are looking for someone with a strong background in working with children who have similar needs.
Key qualities and requirements:
Extensive experience with children who have behavioral or emotional challenges.
Calm, nurturing demeanor with excellent conflict-resolution skills.
Ability to create a structured and positive environment.
Knowledge of child development and techniques for emotional regulation.
Flexibility and creativity to engage the children in meaningful activities.
We value a caregiver who can provide stability and consistency while fostering a supportive and encouraging atmosphere for our boys to thrive. Hours will be 8-1 pm, M-F biweekly. If this sounds like a position you'd like, we’d love to connect!

A little bit about us
The oldest girl is homeschooled via the school district so she needs help and redirection as any 12 year old would
The youngest is home schooled as well via online and is in first grade. So observation and checking in to see if she is on task is needed
The two also have random activities that they are scheduled for on days as well
While the kids are online for school we would love if the nanny was able to do some light house cleaning just to keep things tidy
We ideally are looking for a live in nanny/ house manager kind of person but live in isn’t absolutely necessary.
One parent run a successful company. while the other is a Nurse who works full time. We live a pretty fast paced life and can wait to find the person support person for us

We won’t sugar coat it - it’s a lot of work and not a job for the faint of heart! Our kids are energetic and on the go - some of them have some special needs, but we are willing and able to train you on specific ways of engaging with them.
We expect some light housekeeping and meal prep, keeping in mind that both parents will be around to help.
Thanks!

A little bit about us
My son is on the spectrum and with his special attention and abilities - he will need guidance, help with his daily tasks, misdirection when he’s hyper focused on something, but most of all lots of patience and love from you. Something’s can be repetitive, sometimes nonverbal. Just remember he has a “awesome” superpower, he perceives things differently than the average. Everyone learns at their own pace and no one is perfect.
We have been teaching him table manners and socializing manners, boundaries and responsibilities, understanding people’s emotions and some homeschooling once a day. He enjoys reading, art (paint and crafts), learning American Sign Language, playing with his new puppy, playing outside or with toys and listening to music, swimming, finding bugs.. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to ask. :) thanks for taking the time to read. I hope you have a great day!!
