Overview

This returning Jersey City family has been working with another Smart Sitter for a few months, and they love her so much that they want to add a second! They're looking for a really fun, cheerful, and energetic nanny that can help primarily with their younger guy, who is 1! She's looking for somebody who really loves this age group. Somebody who is excited to come in with fun activities, sensory play, and all the things that stimulate this age group. Are you an interested NYC based caregiver and want to map your commute? PATH is a ten minute walk from their place, as is the ferry is a ten minute walk. Both of them are very easy. In NJ? They're a 15 minute drive from Hoboken. It's $30 to $35/hour plus benefits. They expect the position to last at least one year! Apply today.

The Ideal Sitter for this Job

Someone with a worry-free and sunny disposition! Both boys are young, so energy is a must. Somebody who LOVES this age group is definitely going to work well here. You're crafty, scrappy and proactive. YOU LOVE the sensory stuff, you geek out on baby activities and coming up with them. Somebody who knows how to support Mom is ideal - meaning you know all the little things that help (dishes away, tidy home when she arrives, etc). You must be comfortable working with two children at once. Someone who's not afraid to communicate with Mom! She likes to know all the little things. She is also keen on listening to any suggestions from the nanny. Did you experiment with a new food and it went over well? Let her know and she'll buy more! Clothes getting too small? Let her know and she'll get more.

Schedule

7:30 AM to 5:30 PM any 3 weekdays! Nanny's choice. The family is happy to guarantee 30 hours/week

About the Children

3-year-olds, boy: He's in Montessori! He's a picky eater. Super animated dude with a great personality. Late talker, his speech is delayed so he goes to speech therapy twice/week 1-year-old, boy: He's a handful! Super playful little ball of energy. He's a happy kid. He'll fly off the couch ready to play the moment you come in!

Responsibilities

Mom will be heading out for work right after you arrive! You'll be with the baby most of the day, but there may be a one or two hour cross over with both kids. The baby is still needing to gain some weight, so a huge priority is keeping up with his appetite and making sure he eats. You may be asked to drop the 3 year old off at school across the street when Mom can't in the mornings. You'll feed the baby three meals/day and put him down for his afternoon nap. Either you or the family's other Smart Sitter will pick the 3 year-old up from school and then stay with them until Mom gets home around 5:15pm. Help with dinner, like very simple meal prep so Mom can take over, and light housework will be appreciated! She'd love to arrive home to a tidy home wish dishes clean and put away, etc!
