About the Family

Warm, welcoming parents are seeking an experienced, nurturing nanny for their happy, curious son. Their home is relaxed and easygoing, and they value open communication and a collaborative relationship with their caregiver.

The parents hope to find someone who brings infant expertise, respects their parenting approach, and feels confident taking initiative. Both have hybrid work schedules, so comfort working with a parent at home is important.

The family travels periodically throughout the year without the nanny, providing additional paid time off separate from the nanny’s allotted vacation days.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal nanny will be calm, patient, and engaging, with a strong understanding of infant development. They will enjoy engaging the baby in play and tummy time, spending time outdoors, and finding age-appropriate opportunities to socialize with other children.

Someone who can follow the baby’s cues while maintaining consistent routines would be a wonderful fit. The family appreciates an adaptable caregiver who encourages exploration and independence and introduces gentle boundaries as their son grows.

Discretion, sound judgment, and respect for the family’s privacy are essential. Spanish-speaking is a plus but is not required. Spanish and Swedish are spoken in the home.
