The Family in Lakeview is seeking a dedicated and energetic nanny to join their household. They have a newborn due in early September and require assistance Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, totaling about 45 hours per week. Occasionally, weekend hours may be offered but are not mandatory. The family values flexibility and would appreciate the nanny's willingness to travel with them 1-2 times per year, although this is not a requirement. The household also includes two small dogs that need basic care. The family utilizes a meal service for much of their food preparation and has no dietary restrictions. No driving is necessary for this position. The father works outside the home, while the mother will be intermittently present throughout the day.
Responsibilities include tending to the newborn, managing children’s laundry and bed linens, changing sheets, washing dishes, keeping the kitchen tidy, and assisting with basic home organization. The family employs a housekeeper twice a week, so only light housekeeping tasks are required. Additionally, simple meal preparation may be needed occasionally. The ideal candidate will be proactive, positive, energetic, and a strong communicator who understands developmental milestones and is city-savvy. This role involves working collaboratively with another nanny, and it is important that the candidate works well in a team environment. The family emphasizes limited screen time and requires someone who is adaptable and capable of staying a step ahead to ensure a smoothly running household.
