Job Description

Charlotte’s Best Nanny Agency is assisting a family in Meyers Park in finding a nanny for their 6-year-old daughter, 2-year-old son, and newborn due in January. The family needs a nanny Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (50 hours a week).

The best nanny for this family would be reliable, trustworthy, energetic, engaging, flexible, and most importantly, a love of caring for children. Currently, their son attends a half-day preschool three days a week and their daughter is in full-day school Monday through Friday. On school days, their nanny will be responsible for assisting their son in getting ready for school and doing school drop-off (their daughter rides the bus and will be on the bus before the nanny comes in). While the children are at school the nanny would be responsible for taking care of the newborn and household tasks listed below. After school, the nanny would pick up their son and put him down for a nap. After nap time, the nanny would be responsible for picking their daughter up from school at 4:30PM and caring for all three children in the afternoons. On non-school days for their son or on school holidays, the nanny would be responsible for caring for all three children throughout the day. 

The family is seeking a nanny who is outgoing and proactive in coming up with fun activities to do with the children inside the home and in the community. The family values a nanny who is able to come up with a fun plan for the day and lesson plans that provide an environment where each child can meet their individual goals and milestones. The children are extremely active and like to stay busy. The children like to play indoors (they have a fun gross motor play gym and playroom in their home), and LOVE arts and crafts. They spend lots of time outdoors engaged in active play, like riding bikes, scooters, playing in the yard, going on walks, and other fun outdoor activities. The children also like to go to story time, visit Discovery Place Museums, ImaginOn, visit local parks, swim, and attend playdates with other children and nannies in the area. Their children also attend swim classes and would need to be taken to and from swim. The children would need to be transported to these activities as needed. Each day the mom works from home in a detached garage and respects proper work-from-home parent/nanny boundaries. The family would also appreciate a few overnights per year to allow the parents an occasional get away (which would be paid at a rate on top of the 50 guaranteed hrs). The best nanny would be looking for a long-term position and would grow with the family over the next few years.
