- Family with G2 & G6 months looking for an experienced nanny. Preferably someone with infant/toddler experience with a clean driving record and a passion for children. Family would love someone with a positive attitude who loves playing and talking with children and can be part of the household and help with other duties around the house. Although the responsibilities are primarily around the children, some cleaning and light cooking (especially for the children) will be required.
Experience around animals is a huge plus (must be comfortable around dogs including helping them clean their feet prior to letting them inside). Hours will require you to start in the mornings when the children are waking up around 7 am and stay through the afternoon. If family are looking to hire you as a live-in nanny they want to make sure you have your own hours and your own free time and will work out a schedule upon hire.
Responsibilities include
Driving toddler to and from kindy/daycare
Occasionally running errands in town including picking up groceries
Making sure toddler has things packed for kindy including backpack, clothes, lunch
Feeding toddler (breakfast) and when appropriate lunch
Making lunchbox for toddler
Nappy changes
Looking after 6 month old including changing nappies, feeding some solids (and occasionally making boiled baby food like carrots/peas/etc)
Making sure the 6 month old is dressed appropriately
Reading/singing/playing with 6 month old and taking on walks/outdoors
Occasionally cleaning around the house but always cleaning up after children (putting away food, dishes, and cleaning up toys)
Occasionally cooking for parents (light breakfast/etc) and helping with light cleaning if 6 month old is napping (laundry, dishwasher, tidying up, organizing)
Making sure children are safe at all times - never letting them out of sight and making sure they are never left alone in an unsafe space.
Extra plus is taking care of the dogs - making sure they don’t bark during nap times (when appropriate) and rinsing their feet before they come into the house
Requirements:
Prior experience with young children
Clean driving record
Driver license
Clean background check
Vaccinations - including flu shot and whooping cough shot
Friendly and positive attitude with a can-do spirit
Not using cellphone unless for work is a REQUIREMENT (unless for emergencies/breaks)
Effective communication so family can rely on you for emergencies including ability to text and call and respond appropriately
CPR certification a plus
About the Family:
The toddler is rambunctious, full of life, and loves cars, dinosaurs, puzzles, trains and being physical. The 6 month old needs a bit more gentle care as she is more quiet and loves tummy time, reading, and constant attention. The mom and dad work remotely for companies in the United States - the dad is a Kiwi from Gisborne and the mom grew up in San Francisco, California but her family is from Ukraine. She is bilingual and speaks Russian and English. The household is full of life including 2 dogs (who are allowed inside as they’re city dogs only upon the condition of washed feet), 2 ponies, a goat and a lamb (and a few stray chickens). Family love a clean, tidy household and can seem to move a mile a minute sometimes. They are always doing something but also like to take moments to enjoy the view from their lifestyle block which sits on land that has its own forest. They are open, honest, over-communicative, and above all else love effective communication. Whoever they bring into their household becomes a big part of their lives but they also like to respect their space and the space of whoever works for them at the same time.
