About the Family:
A warm, down-to-earth, and organized family in Wellesley, MA is seeking a professional, proactive full-time nanny/household manager to support their two young children, ages 4.5 and 2. Both parents work from home in dedicated office spaces and value a collaborative, team-oriented approach with a caregiver who is confident managing the day independently while maintaining open, respectful communication.
