  • Assist with meal preparation for children as needed.
  • Maintain professionalism, discretion, and confidentiality at all times.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Minimum 5 years of professional nanny experience in UHNW or staffed households.
  • Proven success working collaboratively on a nanny team and with hands-on parents.
  • Highly active, engaging, and energetic; able to participate in physical and outdoor play.
  • Strong communicator and self-starter who can work independently or as part of a team.
  • Comfortable in a dynamic, fast-paced household with changing schedules.
  • CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to certify).
  • Valid driver’s license with clean driving record; confident driving children.

  • Must be comfortable around a large dog (Goldendoodle).
  • Able to prepare basic, healthy meals for children.
  • No vacation or travel plans within the first 3–6 months of employment.
  • Legally authorized to work in the U.S.; must sign NDA and pass background checks.

Schedule: 5 days per week including 2 weekends per month (Flexibility for additional hours during school breaks, holidays, family travel, or date nights is required.)
