About this nanny job
We are looking for a reliable, part-time nanny with strong preschooler and newborn experience to help manage our afternoon and evening transitions. I will be home during this time, but we are utilizing a "divide and conquer" approach. I will handle our older son's preschool pickup and primary breastfeeding for our 2-month-old. We need a confident caregiver to take full ownership of our preschooler's evening routine—including dinner and bath time—while I tend to the baby. Responsibilities -Preschooler Evening Routine: Taking the lead on preschooler's dinner, play, and bath time. You must be comfortable holding firm boundaries and managing typical preschooler pushback during transitions. -Independent Infant Care: Experience with newborn care routines (tracking wake windows, soothing, and diapering) and independently feeding bottles if baby wakes up hungry while I am out of the house for preschool pickup or appointments/errands -Light Household Tasks: Assisting with child-related tasks like tidying play areas, washing bottles/pump parts, or kid laundry. Requirements: -Proven prior experience managing preschooler behavioral transitions and establishing boundaries, particularly around bath and bedtime routines. -Proven prior experience caring for newborns and infants 3 months and under. -Up-to-date pediatric CPR/First Aid certification. -Must be up to date with flu, COVID, and Tdap vaccines and able to provide proof prior to start date. -Must be comfortable with dogs (we have a 60lb senior Staffy mix). Final employment contingent on passing LiveScan fingerprint-based check
