About the Family
A warm, kind, and welcoming family in Washington, DC is seeking a professional Nanny/House Manager to become a valued teammate in their home.

Responsibilities
Childcare - 80%

  • Engage the children in enriching, developmentally appropriate activities including Montessori-style play, crafts, reading, and outdoor exploration.
  • Support the daughter's social/emotional needs-she may be shy initially, so patience and warmth are essential.
  • Take the children to playgrounds, neighborhood outings, and local activities; maintain an active, hands-on presence.
  • Assist with naps, meals/snacks, toy cleanup, and resetting all child-related spaces.
  • Safely drive the children to activities and appointments.
