Summary:
A bit about us: We’re a warm, educated family of three seeking an experienced and vivacious nanny/educator to join our home and care for our wonderful 2-year-old daughter. As first-time parents, we deeply value patience, lots of talking to our daughter, teaching her skills to prepare her for preschool. We’re looking for a nanny/educator eager to jump in and turn our playroom into a classroom. We embrace a Gentle Parenting approach that emphasizes mutual respect and setting boundaries in a way that presents options while prioritizing safety. One of our foundational house rules is no screen time for our daughter, and we’re looking for a nanny who is happy to be fully present and off their phone during active caregiving hours (breaks are your time!). I work from upstairs, while my husband works mostly outside the home. We're naturally a quiet and calm family, and we genuinely appreciate someone with a bright, friendly spirit who will bring warmth and joyful interaction to our daughter’s day. Our 2-year-old daughter is a bright and energetic toddler who delights in water play, storytelling, painting, and stickers. She has a curious mind, a generous heart, and loves to be included in everyday activities like cooking and tidying. She helps prepare dinner and even enjoys unloading the dishwasher with Mom!

You have a strong understanding of toddler development, clear communication, and you always prioritize safety. You align beautifully with a gentle, positive parenting philosophy, and you respect a child’s growing autonomy. You're happy to work within our home and backyard environment and can consistently come up with a variety of enriching indoor and backyard activities.
