Nanny Required

We are looking for a mature and responsible nanny who is truly passionate about kids and would be actively involved in raising our kids as a team with us. We have two children, an active and extremely affectionate three-year-old girl and a very good-tempered 4-month-old baby boy. In addition to providing a warm and nurturing environment for the kids, we would like for them to be read to, played with and taught age appropriate skills. Our toddler is a picky eater. So we need someone who is able to expose her to a wide variety of nutritious homemade food and keep her engaged throughout the day with age appropriate activities and games. We are looking for someone who can become part of our family, more like an aunt to our children. The safety and security of our children are of paramount importance to us and we need our nanny to understand that and treat them as she would her own children. As both parents are working, we require someone who is flexible with the hours. Children will always be the priority, but some light housekeeping duties are expected during downtime. Our ideal nanny will be honest and trustworthy, responsible, mature, and energetic, detail oriented and should be confident enough to handle two children while taking care of the house. Most importantly, she should be laid back, fun and a person the kids genuinely enjoy spending time with. She should be committed to raising happy and confident children and should have lots of love to share - someone who truly will be an asset to our family. Our children are our biggest assets and as their caregiver you will be compensated fairly and we will respect your personal space and privacy. We are open to a live-in or live-out position. If we are able to find the right person, this will be a long-term position. Someone with a driving license is preferred, but it is not a requirement.
