About the children:
This 11-year-old is funny, smart, creative, excitable, and silly. She loves to write, draw, and she is a voracious reader. She loves English and isn’t a fan of math. After school, she goes to drama, film, and drawing classes. The family is working on helping her self-regulate her screen time.
This 6-year-old is goofy, energetic, passionate, empathetic, and loving. She goes to different activities after school, including dance, acting class, gymnastics, and cheerleading. She is still figuring out what she likes best. She loves imaginative play, coloring, and arts and crafts. She is fun, with big feelings, and she wants to be friends with everyone.
Family is expecting a child in April 2024, so pay rate will increase, although Nanny will never be responsible for all three children at once.
About the parents:
These parents are fun and creative. Mom is also silly, smart, and thoughtful. Dad describes himself as funny, gentle, hungry, and tired! They enjoy the arts, including music, comedy, theater, and film. These parents believe that kids are people too, with valid emotions, but adults should still take charge. They like to explain the reason for their rules, when possible, and to encourage the children to clean up their own messes. This is a screen-friendly household, but they make sure to implement breaks.
Benefits:
Over 80% of the year, Nanny will be paid a full-time salary (based on 30 hours per week) for mainly part-time hours. Paid vacation days off, paid holidays off, paid sick days off, and paid personal days off. The family also offers a paid week off between Christmas and New Year’s.
