About the Family
A warm, intellectually curious, and highly engaged family in Lexington is seeking a loving, organized, and proactive full-time nanny to support their two daughters, ages 5.5 and 3.5. They value kindness, intrinsic motivation, low-screen living, and a calm, structured home environment. Both parents work busy professional roles and are looking for a nanny who will truly become an extension of their family—someone who loves being a nanny, takes ownership over the rhythm of the household, and is excited by the idea of building a long-term relationship.
Their oldest daughter is bright, social, and full of personality—she thrives in group settings and attends a German immersion school in Boston full-time. Their younger daughter is thoughtful, independent, and particularly drawn to math and hands-on exploration. She attends a Montessori program in Lexington for half days. Both girls play beautifully on their own, respond well to structure, and enjoy a home with very limited screen time.
The family has no pets (though they may add one in the future), no allergies, and no dietary restrictions. They eat a balanced diet and value healthy, fresh meals prepared with care.
Travel is not required, and the family spends several weeks each year in Europe—those weeks would be paid time off for their nanny. They also hope to find someone who can occasionally help with overnights or weekend date-night coverage.
