About the Family
A warm, organized private family is seeking an experienced, reliable, and nurturing Nanny / Household Manager to join their household long-term. The family currently has a 2.5-year-old daughter, and is expecting a baby boy with an estimated due date of March 13. This role is ideal for a professional nanny who enjoys growing with a family and is confident caring for both toddlers and newborns.
The family employs a regular professional cleaning service multiple times per week that handles all deep cleaning. A 24/7 night nurse will be in place for approximately two months following the birth, allowing the nanny to focus primarily on daytime care and household support.

Daughter: 2.5 years old; enrolled in school daily until 3:00 PM through May
