A little bit about us

Hi ! I'm looking for a caring nanny to help my family care for my little one who will be 7 months old in May when I'm back at work. I'm looking for someone who can come from noon to 5 pm Mon - Friday. As time goes on and depending on my job, this could turn into a 9-5 time commitment if okay with the nanny. Expectation is for our nanny to drive to our apartment by themselves. We will provide food (Indian food some days when we cook or you are welcome to help yourself to groceries to make sandwiches/salads etc.) No problem if you prefer to bring your own food, but we would like to make it a bit easier for you if we can. My little one is really sweet and my family is extremely welcoming to any guests who come to our home. When the baby is sleeping, we would appreciate if you can help with light household work as well. We require you to be CPR trained. Thank you for your interest!

A little bit about us

Dad is an attorney who, works from home, spouse is a teacher who is home a few days a week.
Kids are sweet, loud, very playful, and one is very independent.
At home care really is about helping with the little things around the house, make some formula and feeding, or warming up food that's been prepared, or doing prep work. There is a grandmother who does most of the care and cooking but needs a hand with little things and we'll go out for appointments so full time to part-time, very flexible and looking for a friendly. Most important is able to help get kids ready in the morning so parents can get their Day started and pick older child off the bus on the corner a couple days a week.

A little bit about us

We are a family of five (Mom, Dad, two boys (9 and 11) and one dog (a medium-sized retriever age 3).

Mom and Dad both work outside the home, so we need help with taking the boys to extra-curriculars around Princeton (soccer, basketball, chess, math, etc.). Also, need help with basic food prep for the boys when they get home from school. The dog appreciates a walk and some fetch every now again as well. Both boys are sweet, well-mannered, get along worh each other, and low stress. They will have homework but generally handle this on their own.

We need a responsible and well organized person to support us with all of the moving parts! Hours would likely be around 2:30 to 6:30 PM or so, but could discuss this further.

The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in Princeton. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want.
