About the Family

A warm, thoughtful, and busy family in the Seaport neighborhood of Boston is seeking an experienced, engaging, and highly reliable nanny to support their two young boys. Both parents are actively involved—dad works from an office, and mom works hybrid between home and office. The family values strong communication, reliability, warmth, and a proactive approach. They are seeking a nanny who can confidently help maintain structure and routines while creating a nurturing, engaging, and organized environment for the children. There are no pets in the home.

About the Role

This role is centered around full-time childcare support for two active and engaging young boys. The older child, age 3.5, is curious, bright, energetic, and perceptive. He thrives with clear expectations, routines, and loving but firm boundaries. He loves reading, sports, and active engagement and attends school Monday through Thursday from 8:00am–4:00pm and Fridays from 8:00am–12:00pm, with lunch and nap at home afterward. During the summer, he will attend camp until 1:00pm.

The younger child, 17 months, is happy, sweet, energetic, and becoming increasingly mobile and independent. He enjoys outings to museums, parks, and playdates and follows a consistent daily routine with naps from 10:00–11:00am and 2:15–3:30pm and lunch at 12:30pm.

Responsibilities include planning engaging, developmentally appropriate activities, coordinating outings and community activities, supporting routines and transitions, preparing healthy meals and snacks for the children, and maintaining a warm and structured environment. Additional responsibilities include kitchen tidying, children’s laundry, light home tidying and organization, seasonal clothing inventory for the children, and taking out the garbage. All household responsibilities are child-focused in nature.

The family would appreciate flexibility for occasional date nights or weekend support if available, though this is not required. Domestic and international travel would also be a plus but is not required for the role.

The ideal candidate is a warm, experienced, proactive professional who communicates clearly, takes initiative naturally, and brings a calm and dependable presence to the home.

Prior professional nanny experience
Significant experience with toddlers and preschool-aged children
Warm, engaging, and developmentally focused approach
Strong communication and organizational skills
Reliable, proactive, and highly dependable
Comfortable supporting routines, transitions, and active days
Experience managing two young children simultaneously
Confident navigating Boston via public transportation
Excellent references from previous families
Legally authorized to work in the U.S.
4-year college degree

Pets: None

Transportation: Nanny should be comfortable utilizing public transportation

Travel: Domestic and international travel would be appreciated but is not required
