About the Family

A warm and loving family in Tenleytown is seeking a nurturing, detail-oriented, and highly communicative nanny to care for their infant son beginning in September. Their baby boy is happy, growing well, and beginning to settle into more consistent routines and schedules. He enjoys exploring and engaging with the world around him, and his parents are looking for a nanny who genuinely enjoys supporting infant development in a thoughtful and engaging way.

Dad is a native Spanish speaker and Mum also speaks Spanish, so the family would love for their nanny to primarily speak Spanish with the baby throughout the day. They are specifically hoping to find a nanny who is fluent or highly proficient in Spanish and who can naturally incorporate the language into daily routines, play, and communication.

Both parents work full-time, with Dad working from the office daily and Mum splitting her time between working from home and the office. The family values consistency, warmth, professionalism, and strong communication and hopes to build a long-term relationship with someone who can grow alongside their family over the coming years.

About the Role

This role will focus on providing attentive and developmentally appropriate care for the family’s infant son while helping maintain a calm, organized, and nurturing household environment. The baby is currently exclusively breastfed and will transition to a combination of bottle feeding and breastfeeding once Mom returns fully to work. He sleeps well overnight, though crib naps are still developing, so the family would value a nanny who is experienced with infant schedules, sleep routines, and developmental milestones.

The nanny will facilitate enriching, screen-free activities throughout the day including walks, library outings, parks, museums, reading, classes, and other experiences that encourage exploration and independent learning. The family appreciates a nanny who is proactive, engaging, and excited to foster curiosity and healthy development during infancy and beyond.

Child-related household responsibilities include:

• Children’s laundry

• Bottle cleaning and sanitation

• Meal prep for the baby

• Kitchen tidying

• Light home tidying and organization

• Taking out garbage

• Occasional errands

• Helping maintain a clean and organized household

The family has professional cleaners but would love someone who naturally helps keep the home tidy day-to-day. Preparing simple homemade baby food would be a wonderful bonus but is not required.

The family also has a large, friendly Labrador Retriever. A dog walker comes midday, so direct pet care responsibilities will be minimal, though the nanny should be comfortable around large dogs and navigating child-pet dynamics.

Requirements:

• Prior professional nanny experience

• Experience caring for infants

• Fluent or highly proficient Spanish speaker required

• Strong understanding of infant development and developmental milestones

• Warm, nurturing, detail-oriented, and communicative personality

• Reliable, consistent, and proactive

• Ability to maintain infant schedules and routines

• Comfortable facilitating enriching, screen-free activities

• Comfortable working collaboratively with work-from-home parents

• Valid driver’s license

• Excellent references from previous families

• Legally authorized to work in the U.S.

• Family requires candidates to stay up to date on Covid boosters, flu vaccine, Tdap, and MMR vaccines
