Overview
A warm, easygoing family in Wyckoff, NJ is looking for a long-term, part-time, live-out after-school nanny for their two children, ages 3 and 5. They hope to find someone who will stay for several years. You’ll pick the children up from school and take care of the afternoon and evening: activities, park trips, homework, dinner, and bath time. The parents are relaxed and casual employers. They want their children to be polite and respectful and to have plenty of fun, and they’d like a caregiver who takes initiative and keeps the children first. The home has a pool, so you need to be a confident swimmer. The family is open to adding more hours for the right candidate, so if you’re looking for more than 20 hours a week, this role can grow with you.
