Job Description
Summary: A bit about us : We’re a warm and active family based in the city with two young children! Our 5yo daughter began kindergarten this fall and will need consistent afternoon care, our 3yo son goes to daycare full-time. Both parents work in tech and love spending quality time with our kids. Our family values play, creativity, structure, and kindness. We’re seeking a part-time nanny to support our daughter’s after-school routine, help with light tidying, and occasionally care for our preschooler when he’s home from daycare too.
A bit about you : You’re reliable, kind, and fun, with a calm, confident presence that can set and hold boundaries in a gentle, supportive way. You enjoy engaging kids in enriching activities and are able to guide and redirect when needed. A background in education, psychology, or child development would be a big plus, and we’d love someone who can help with elementary homework and loves being out and about. You’re punctual, safety-minded, and comfortable navigating school pickups and occasional outings.
Job Duties : This role includes providing after-school care from 2–6 pm, Monday through Friday, supporting homework, and supervising both structured and unstructured play. Once our kindergartner is enrolled in activities (such as piano, gymnastics, or anything else she takes an interest in), we’d appreciate your help with driving to and from those commitments. Light child-related household support is also appreciated, including tidying up play areas and handling snack-related dishes. Occasional care for our younger child may be needed when he’s home from daycare, and availability for the occasional evening or weekend babysitting would be a bonus. Text
