* Playing with him in the morning
* After school helping with homework
* Reminding him to have a shower (he can shower himself)
* I do not expect any housework

Essential criteria
* Experience with children
* Refernces
* Current first Aide

Hi! We are looking for an engaged and nurturing nanny for our 20-month-old son, two days per week (we are flexible on which days!).

What We’re Looking For:
Our son is very musical, bright, and observant. We are looking for someone who is warm, nurturing, and who genuinely loves being actively engaged with toddlers - helping them discover and learn about the world through play.

Someone who notices what he’s interested in (whether it’s letters, music, or figuring out how things work) and provides opportunities to keep his brain busy.

Someone comfortable navigating the big emotions of toddlerhood with patience and a calm presence.

We value a phone-free environment where the focus is on meaningful interaction, safety, and connection.
