About the Family
A warm, engaged family in Brookline is seeking a professional, playful, and highly collaborative nanny to join their childcare team and support their three children. Their 6-year-old attends school and arrives home by bus at 4:00pm, their 4-year-old attends a half-day program with pickup at 1:30pm, and their 1-year-old is home during the day, enjoying outings, activities, and a midday nap. All three children participate in various afternoon activities throughout the week. Both parents work full-time from home in separate office spaces and value strong communication, teamwork, and a positive, respectful home environment. The family also has one dog, though no pet care is required.
About the Role
This role focuses on engaged, developmentally appropriate childcare while supporting the overall flow of a busy household. Responsibilities include coordinating daily routines, managing school pickups and activity schedules, and creating fun, enriching experiences for the children—especially for the 1-year-old during the day. The nanny will assist with children’s meal preparation, laundry, light tidying, running errands, and proactively managing and organizing the children’s calendars. The ideal candidate is energetic, silly, and genuinely loves working with children, while also being dependable, communicative, and adaptable. This is a collaborative position working alongside another nanny, requiring strong teamwork and flexibility. Weekly Wednesday date night coverage is required (coordinated between nannies), along with rare overnight support. The role also includes travel to Martha’s Vineyard for 2–3 weeks during the summer.
