This former Smart Sitter turned Smart Mom is looking for an awesome live-in nanny to join them in Dorado, Puerto Rico about 15 miles outside of San Juan!

They also go to Minnesota every summer for two months and you could spend some of this time seeing your friends and family in the U.S.. They also love to go to Florida and are Disney Land regulars. It's $35 to $40/hour gross for 40 hours/week guaranteed, plus PTO, sick time, health care reimbursement, and relocation costs. (Please include desired benefits when listing your rate on application.) They're also excited to help plug you into whatever you'd like to do while in P.R., whether that's learning Spanish, golfing, tennis...whatever you want! They'd ideally love somebody to start at some point in January but realize it might take a little bit longer. Apply today!
