Overview

Are you a super playful, artistic, and fun nanny who loves one-on-one time with a young toddler? Are you an artist or performer with great toddler experience who is looking for light part-time hours? Would you love spending your days singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider with a little one, coming up with fun voices at story time, or initiating baby's first dance party? This is the job for you! It's the ideal position for a creative performer, so apply today before it's gone. This new SmartFamily in Carroll Gardens is looking for a new nanny starting ASAP for their 21-month-old son. They'd love to find someone who might even have some kind of education or teaching experience in their past, but that's not required. It's $30/hour and the family is looking for a sitter to typically work 12-16 hours/week.

The Ideal Sitter for this Job

The ideal nanny for this position is loving, energetic, and creative. You're also super active to keep up with a toddler this age! Their last nanny felt like part of the family, and loved their son, and they'd love to find another great relationship like this one. They click well with artists, particularly musical theatre performers, so actors to the front! They want someone incredibly fun and engaging. The family loves the hardworking attitude and flexibility that often comes with performers. If you have any kind of background in education or teaching, even a past baby music class instructor or theatre camp counselor, they'd love to hear about it! Updated CPR certification and all updated vaccines are required (the family is immunocompromised and appreciates their nanny taking this seriously).

Schedule

Tuesday - Thursday Ideally, 10 am to 2 pm or 10 am to 3pm However, they can be flexible for another window of 4-5 hours for the right candidate.

About the Children

Boy, 21 months: Not a potato baby! On the go, wants to learn. So curious.

Responsibilities

The family would love for their nanny to be super engaged in their little one's development (motor skills, verbal skills, mental and physical development) and enjoys being a part of that. They're also looking for their nanny to do some light household tasks during the little guy's naps, including washing bottles, laundry, tidying up the play area/the child's room and helping make baby food. Their last nanny also did the parent's laundry, so this would be a nice to have, but is certainly not required. The Mom will be working from home, so a nanny who is respectful of a work-from-home parent is ideal. Both parents are immunocompromised and request that the nanny never come in when sick (and they won't ask you to come in when they're sick as well). There will be some weeks that the family won't need care because Dad will be home from work and you'll be off for the week; however, they will usually tell you months in advance so you can plan for it. Their past sitter used those weeks to cram in lots of auditions and classes, and that worked well for both of them!

Additional Information

Updated CPR certification and all updated vaccines are required (the family is immunocompromised and appreciates their nanny taking this seriously).
