We are looking for a nanny who enjoys actively engaging with children rather than simply supervising them. We follow a screen-free approach for our son. We do not use tablets, televisions, or phones as entertainment. Personal phone use should be limited to emergencies or while our son is napping.
All care will take place in our home. No transportation or travel is required.

The Right Fit
We understand that the right nanny becomes an important part of a child's life. We're looking for someone who wants more than just a job, someone who wants to help shape our son's early years with kindness, patience, consistency, and encouragement.
If you're looking for a stable, long-term position with a family that values and respects its caregiver, we'd love to hear from you. Please tell us about your childcare experience, availability, and what you enjoy most about working with young children.
