Full-time Infant Nanny needed Carroll Gardens  - Ref. #CGL1507

A warm, professional, new family of 3 is seeking two experienced, expert, and collaborative full-time nannies to live-in while on-duty (or always, if needed) beginning any time mid-June. Their son was born in February, and is happy as can be! He is on a predictable schedule and is sleep training through the night. Both parents have very demanding jobs, and thus they will need 24/7 availability, as they can be required to work at a moment’s notice. To not lead to burn-out, they are needing a weekday and weekend nanny to provide coverage, some of which is on-call, while physically being in their home. The family is working with a newborn nanny that we love, providing great references of the friendly, team-like environment that is present.

This search has the luxury of being built around the candidates’ needs and experience level.  The posed two nanny’s schedules could be Monday AM- Thursday PM, and a Thursday PM-Sunday PM, both living in while on duty (living out when off), -OR- the weekday nanny doing 5 full days but living in their home even on days off if needed, while the weekend nanny does 2 nights and 2 full days (48 hours) and stays in guest area.  Weekend nanny does not need to start until August or September, if the nanny desires.

The ideal nanny is someone who is highly experienced with young infants and toddlers in at least two previous full-time nanny roles. Someone who is looking to be a partner in raising their son, and has a down-to-earth personality as well - family is not super rigid nor cold, but is looking for a competent professionals to be a part of their family, whom they can trust in their absence will have the foresight and proactivity to provide a developmentally-supportive environment. Nanny will be responsible for full care related to their son including laundry, eventual meal planning and preparation, planning and transporting to classes and activities, and taking full charge of his developmental needs as the experienced professional in a low stress manner that follows that child instead of correcting or leading.
