A welcoming family of five in Pittsboro is seeking a nurturing nanny to join their family. While the family has three children, this position will primarily focus on caring for their 3-month-old infant throughout the workday. During the school year, the oldest child (6.5 years) attends school full-time and is only home for approximately one hour at the end of the nanny's shift. The middle child (3 years) attends preschool three days per week and will join the nanny for a few hours in the afternoons, making infant experience the highest priority for this role.The nanny's primary focus will be caring for the 3-month-old infant, supporting his daily routine, developmental milestones, and providing loving, attentive care. Their curious and creative 6.5-year-old enjoys reading, art, bike rides, and imaginative conversations, while their energetic 3-year-old loves vehicles, building, outdoor play, and helping in the kitchen.
Both parents work from home full-time. One parent works from a home office throughout the day, while the other transports the preschooler to and from preschool before returning home to finish the workday.
