Full-Time Nanny Needed – West Nashville (The Nations)

Hi! We are relocating from Utah and are looking for a full-time nanny to join our family long-term. We have two boys, ages 4 and 1. Our 4-year-old will be in full-time preschool, so most of the day will be spent with our 1-year-old. I will be working as a dermatology resident at Vanderbilt and my husband is in tech sales. He will primarily work from home but also travel frequently. We also have a very friendly 6-year-old Golden Retriever!

Schedule & Pay:
- Starting end of June
- Monday through Friday, 8:45 AM to 5:30 or 5:45 PM
- Occasional earlier mornings when my husband is traveling
- Occasional overnight care when I am on call and my husband is out of town. This would be very low effort and simply involve staying overnight in our home while the children sleep
- $22 to $25 per hour depending on experience
-Guaranteed 30 hrs per week
-Paid holidays
-1 week paid vacation

About the role:
Main focus will be caring for our 1-year-old, including feeding, naps, changing diapers, and play while supporting developmental milestones through engaging, age-appropriate activities. You will also handle preschool drop-off and pick-up for our 4-year-old. We are a low screen-time, active household and value outdoor time and community activities. We plan to have memberships and passes to places like
- Nashville Zoo
- Adventure Science Center
- Cheekwood Estate & Gardens

Light household help:
- Tidy shared areas during the day
- Boys’ laundry once per week
- Occasional help with dinner prep or groceries

We are looking for someone who:
- Is reliable, responsible, and consistent
- Is patient and kind
- Enjoys being active and engaged
- Takes initiative and communicates well
- Wants a long-term position

We are hoping to find someone who will truly become part of our family and build a meaningful relationship with our boys. If this sounds like a good fit, please message me! We would love to connect.

• Experience with toddlers 18 months–3 years — required

• Christian values and comfort with faith-based curriculum — required
• CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to obtain)
• Patient, dependable, organized, and joyful
