Description:
A warm, active, and nature-loving family is seeking an experienced, reliable nanny to care for their children while assisting with their homeschool education on their beautiful 100-acre farm. This is a wonderful opportunity for a caregiver who enjoys slowing down, embracing the outdoors, and creating meaningful learning experiences through exploration, play, and adventure.
The family spends much of their free time hiking, paddle boarding, canoeing, camping, fishing, and enjoying everything nature has to offer. They are looking for a nanny who shares those values and is excited to encourage curiosity, independence, and confidence through hands-on experiences both at home and in the community.
The parents describe their parenting style as firm but kind and hope to find someone who will naturally complement that approach. They value reliability, consistency, and a caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time outside and helping children discover the world around them.

The family welcomes their nanny to take the children on outings to nearby parks, hiking trails, libraries, museums, and other educational destinations.
