Sweet family in Donelson is in search of a part time nanny for their two girls (3 months & 3 years). They are looking for a long term nanny that will fit organically into their family and be happy to come to work every day! They would love a nanny that can be with them long term. They do not have family in town so the nanny will play a vital and appreciated role! Mom and dad are both artists and would love their nanny to encourage creativity and art in their children.

START DATE:

As soon as the right fit is found!

SCHEDULE:

Currently: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:30-5:30pm

Fall schedule (Starting in August): 3 year old will be starting Montessori school but they are waiting for the school to announce the schedule- they will have this soon.

Guaranteed Hours: 25/week

DESCRIPTION:

The family has had nannies in the past so they know exactly what they are looking for! Mom and dad are both working from home currently and for the foreseeable future so the nanny must be comfortable with that dynamic. During this time, the family would ask that the nanny is being reasonably quarantined and taking precautions against Covid 19 (wearing a mask, not going to crowded placed regularly, etc.). The nanny needs to come to work each day with a schedule for the three year old so her days are structured and engaging. Since mom and dad are both artists, it is important to them for their kids to be exposed to art as much as possible! They would love a nanny that is creative and thinks outside the box. Doing age appropriate activities such as science experiments and art projects would be perfect! Until school starts in August, the nanny would have both girls all day. When school starts back care will be needed primarily for the baby girl who will be 5 months old by that time. The nanny must be comfortable with a newborn and aware of all developmental milestones. She will be transitioning to solid foods in the fall so the nanny MUST be confident using CPR and aware of all choking hazards.

The family is looking for a nanny that is not just in this for an “easy babysitting” job, but someone who is really passionate about working with children.

• 1 year commitment (would love as long term as possible)

• Reliable and on time
