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.
