Position Overview

A North Reading family is seeking an experienced full-time nanny for their two children, a 6-month-old and a 3.5-year-old. This is a long-term, live-out position, Monday through Friday during business hours. The nanny will run the children's day independently — breakfast, walks, outdoor play, and engaging, hands-on activities at home and out in the community. The 3.5-year-old begins half-day preschool just after Labor Day, four days per week from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM at a school five minutes from the home, and the nanny will handle that transportation. The family is looking for someone active, dependable, and full of positive energy who enjoys creating age-appropriate activities: science museum visits (the family holds a membership), library trips, park outings with the many children in the neighborhood, reading, and educational play. A finished basement play space is available for rainy and winter days. Housekeeping is limited to the children's needs; a cleaning service comes every two weeks.

• 3 weeks paid vacation annually, with one week chosen by the nanny and two weeks scheduled by the family
• 2 paid sick days
• All major federal holidays paid
• Paid legally through a payroll service

Responsibilities

• Full care of a 6-month-old and a 3.5-year-old, including bottle feeding (including expressed breast milk), naps, diapering, and daily routines
• Transportation to and from half-day preschool four days per week (no school Wednesdays)
• Daily walks and outdoor play, including park outings with neighborhood children
• Planning and leading engaging, age-appropriate activities and outings — science museum, library, educational play
• Light meal preparation for the children
• Children's laundry and tidying of the children's spaces
• Keeping the children the primary focus of the day

Requirements

• Prior professional experience with infants and toddlers
• Comfortable caring for two children of different ages at the same time
• Valid driver's license
• Physically active, engaging, and able to bring positive energy into the home
• Able to swim and comfortable swimming with the children
• Current CPR and First Aid certification
