About the Family
A warm and welcoming family in the South End of Boston is seeking an experienced, nurturing, and highly reliable nanny to provide attentive, developmentally focused care for their 11-month-old son. The family also has two older daughters, ages 6 and 4, though this role will be centered on the infant.
Both parents are actively engaged—mom works from the office 4–5 days per week, and dad works from home. The family values a calm, emotionally mature presence who is thoughtful, proactive, and deeply invested in supporting their child’s early development. They are looking for a nanny who is warm, engaging, and aligned with a child-centered, education-minded approach to care.
There are no pets in the home.
About the Role
This position is fully focused on providing high-quality, attentive care for an infant, with an emphasis on developmental milestones and engagement.

Additional responsibilities include child-related household tasks such as laundry for the baby, preparing healthy meals for the baby, and light tidying to support a well-run home.
Travel is an important component of this position. The nanny will be expected to spend approximately two weeks in early July and two weeks in late August with the family in East Hampton.
