About the Children

Boy, seven months old: They've just introduced solids and thus far, he's a finicky eater but they're working on it! They have many different types of food to try and then try again with! He's a very sweet boy and has been great with his schedule. No food allergies.

Responsibilities

The family is looking for an infant experienced nanny who is familiar with all the developmental stages, and can help introduce new solid foods, make baby purees, keep him on his nap schedule, and make sure he's stimulated and hitting all his milestones! He's currently taking two hour naps per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They are looking for somebody who can ensure all of his naps are in his crib, and can make sure he's back home in time for his naps, so he's not sleeping in his stroller. When you arrive in the morning, you'll take over and engage him until his morning nap. During morning nap, the family would love help with the kids' laundry, bottle washing stuff, and other household tasks. This is also a great time to figure out what food to give him for lunch, and possibly even make some food. Overall, helping to keep all the children's stuff tidy and organized is the name of the game! Helping pick-up the toys in the playroom, pulling out the baby clothes that are too small and setting them aside, etc!

Additional Information

The family would like to find a candidate that will make notes about what happened during the day and send a few photos to Mom and Dad! This can be as simple as a pad and paper, or as complex as an app. The most important thing is that you keep them updated and keyed in to what his day was like. That way, even though they're working, they feel connected to what was going of for him!
