Need an overnight nanny to watch my 3 kids. Ex wife and I co-parent. She's usually off on Fridays & Saturdays while I have a rotating schedule so I never have the same days off. Expecting the nanny to be working just about 40 hours, or less depending on the days ill have off from work through out the week. Oldest kid is 7 years old, his younger brother is 4 years old, and their younger sister is 3 years old. Because of our night shift schedule, we need someone who can baby sit over night. The kids are usually asleep by 10pm-ish, we just need someone to be by them while we are away at work for the night. My youngest son is autistic and he's usually to himself, he does run around a lot and tries to climb whatever he can! His younger sister and older brother do not need as much of a watch as he does. The job would be from 6pm-6am.

Earn money in your sleep! I’m a night shift nurse who just relocated here from out of state looking for a night time nanny for my two little boys!
Responsibilities would include getting the boys ready for bed, and if it’s a school day getting them ready for school so I can take them when I get home from work! I have a nanny room that would be yours and you’re welcome to sleep or do homework or whatever you please for the majority of the shift as long as you’re there and my boys are safe!
I’d love to find someone who is looking for something longer term, but this would also be a great job opportunity for college student looking for an easy way to make money without interfering with classes!
My six year old is autistic and non verbal, using small phrases or a talker tablet to communicate, so I have a strong preference for someone with special needs experience and practice with other kiddos like him who are sweet but stubborn lol
My four year old is potty trained, just using a pull up at night, but my 6 year old is not yet potty trained (we’re working on it) so diaper changing would also be needed for him before bed and in the morning.
You would get 6 weeks off every summer, as well as Christmas break or spring break off every year, as well as never having to work Christmas or thanksgiving!
About my kiddos, both boys are total sweethearts, my six year old Kai is a happy giggly little bean content to be in his own world most of the time! Loves playing outside, especially if flowers, water or plants are involved!
My four year old Kona is likewise so very sweet, but sometimes a bit bossy, and will chat your ear off any chance he’s given! Kona loves playing make believe anything, and has a vast collection of toys that he will insist you play with him with!
Both kiddos also love books, Kona loves being red to and Kai loves reading books to you (he’s just learned to read)
We look forward to hearing from you and would love to find the perfect fit for our lil family!

Our family of four includes Jeff, Jenn, Miles(10) and Luke(7). Miles is bright, articulate, artistic, creative and strong willed. He has type 1 diabetes and autism. We will provide any necessary training. Luke is clever, silly, imaginative, bright and mischievous. They are both on the chatty side. We are looking for morning (before school) and afternoon help with our two kids. Hours would be roughly 7-9 and 3-5 so this is an ideal job for someone in school or with other daytime commitments.
Mornings would involve helping with lunches and breakfast, driving the kids to school as well as tidying the main living area.
Afternoons would involve school pick up, snack and activities as well as dinner prep. The kids are fun, sweet and silly. They love to build legos and listen to audio books. We are looking for someone kind, creative and fun who really enjoys kids.

I am looking for a short to long-term Nanny to provide excellent childcare to my 5-year-old sunshine, who happens to be on the autism spectrum. I will need support while attending nursing school. Must be at least 21 years old, CPR & First Aid Certified, and be willing to commit long term (at least 1-2 years). Ideal candidates must be patient, engaging, child-focused, compassionate, responsible, and familiar with non-verbal communication skills (it takes no time to learn his communication style). He loves to parallel play and low pressure with playtime. He mostly likes his space, which gives you time to prepare things for him. I would really love a nanny who has experience with autistic children and how they operate in a neurotypical world. Responsibilities include all things child related, such as taking care of his needs, keeping him safe and clean, laundering his dirty clothes weekly, cleaning the play area after activities, loading/unloading the dishwasher, planning meals for him on occasion, assisting in potty training, and organizing creative and educational activities (indoors and outdoors), as well as school pick-up and drop-offs on certain days. Pay is negotiable based on performing all the duties required. Gas is also reimbursed.
Hours will increase in May 2023 once I start clinical rotations.
