Infant Care + Afternoon Split Care, Special Needs Experience Preferred
We’re looking for a long-term, professional nanny for our young family.
This role is primarily focused on infant care during the day, with midday school pickup and afternoon split care for our 4-year-old. Our 1.5-year-old will typically need daycare pickup around 5:00pm.
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9:30am–5:30pm
Pay: $45/hr, W-2
Some occasional flexibility to extend hours is helpful. Bonus if open to occasional date-night babysitting.
Responsibilities include infant care, bottles, diapers, naps, feeding, developmental play, outings, school/daycare pickups, afternoon routines, light child-related meal prep, and resetting child spaces. The role also includes child-related tidying such as bottles, toys, kids’ laundry, restocking supplies, and keeping play/feeding areas organized.
For our 4-year-old, responsibilities include following parent-provided care routines, G-tube hydration with training, safe lifting/transfers, and occasional driving to physical therapy. He is non-mobile and growing, so comfort with physically active, hands-on care is important.
Most days follow a predictable rhythm, but we need someone flexible when kids are sick, school/daycare is closed, or schedules shift. Rarely, the nanny may need to help with different combinations of children at home.
We have a family car for nanny use. Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, CPR/First Aid or willingness to obtain, non-smoker, and excellent references required.
We’re looking for someone warm, steady, proactive, and engaged, someone who helps create structure, calm routines, activities, and a cared-for environment for the kids.
