Nanny nanny job description

LIGHTHOUSE POINT, FL (LOCAL CANDIDATES ONLY)-Business professionals located in between BOCA RATON and FORT LAUDERDALE seek a FULL-TIME NANNY to care for their two girls, ages 5 years and 1 month. Position can be LIVE IN or LIVE OUT. They are currently in a smaller home but are looking for a larger home in the same area. In both homes, a live-in nanny will be provided with a private bedroom and bathroom. Hours are from 7am-5pm Monday-Friday, but the schedule can be flexible for the right candidate, especially when the newborn is on a set schedule. They have a 16-year-old English Setter (must love dogs) who does not require care other than being let outside and back in.

The eldest goes to school around 7am and usually has afterschool activities on campus until about 5pm. During the day, the nanny's focus will be on helping mom care for the newborn and assisting with household duties such as laundry, light housekeeping, tidying up, cooking/meal prep for the family (required if living in, must be a helpful housemate!), etc. Afternoons will be spent picking up the eldest from school and chauffeuring her to afterschool activities (most are on campus/nearby). A family car will be provided.

They seek a kind and patient team player. Someone who is flexible and willing to roll up their sleeves and jump in where help is needed. A self-starter who takes initiative to help without being asked. Someone who can anticipate needs and take the lead. Mom works from home and dad works in an office. They are true partners and work as a team and seek a professional nanny to become part of their parenting squad and help them to raise confident and kind children!

They would love a nanny who is willing to travel with them as a family on occasion. Must be vaccinated for Covid, tdap, flu, and be a strong simmer, as they will be moving to a waterfront home with a pool and boat and spend a lot of time on the water! Pay is $25-30/hour (flexible depending on experience). Benefits include paid sick days, holidays and vacation. Start date is ASAP!
