F.T. Nanny in Brighton MA
A family in Brighton, on the edge of Boston, is in need of a full-time nanny to care for their two children. The ages of the children are two-years-old (girl) and two-months-old ( boy). The hours needed are 10 am to 6 pm or 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, but they can add more hours if needed by the nanny.
Both parents work from home, but will not be micromanaging. They have a loft-like office. The two-year-old loves playing with Legos, running, and hearing stories. As a family they enjoy lots of outdoor time (especially running with the stroller), visiting the local farmer's market and playgrounds, and imagination-based play. The two-year-old has developed an ability to entertain herself using her imagination and household objects. For their discipline philosophy, they try to be respectful when encountering issues. If there is a safety concern, then they intervene physically, such as pulling the two-year-old away from a hazard. Otherwise, they focus on affirming her feelings, being with her physically (in the case of a tantrum), and explaining their reasoning.
They would like a nanny that is reliable, creative, nurturing, engaging, and has previous experience caring for infants and toddlers. Both parents work from home, so a nanny that is comfortable with that is needed. Their home is accessible by bus. This position begins asap.
The duties will primarily be to play with and the routine care of the children. Meal prep and feeding the toddler, helping to introduce solid foods to the baby after 6 months is needed. Ideally, they would love for the nanny to take the children somewhere (playground, library, etc) everyday. In the Fall if they can enrol the oldest in a daycare, then taking the baby with to pick her up at daycare (~10 minutes away via car) 3 days a week will be needed. Some light tidying, such as picking up after the kids after activities, and some family meal prep such as cutting up vegetables for the family dinner is needed. This position begins in August.
