About the job
West Michigan Nannies is hiring for a temporary position, a 3-month period, for a family in Ada with four children (girls 11 & 9 and boys 7 and 3). The position will begin in April (exact date TBD but will fall somewhere AFTER the first week of April) and will last for 12 weeks from there, holidays off. Schedule will be full-time M-F (Tuesdays off) for 10-12 hour days with 6-7 a.m. start times. The majority of the position will take place during the school year but will lead into summer vacation so while the kids' day-to-day schedule will change a bit, nanny's hours will remain the same. An ideal match for this position is someone that can be silly with the kids and have fun but is also firm and keeps the schedule running smoothly, is flexible, mature, responsible and organized. Prior experience with school-aged children and drop-offs and pick-ups is appreciated. Nanny will be responsible for school/daycare/activity drop-offs and pick-ups (possibly summer camp when school is out), preparing quick, easy meals/snacks, and helping with kids' laundry. Nanny will need to comfortable and confident caring for all four children at the same time, but this will not typically happen except for before/after school and miscellaneous days off as they have different things going on. For instance, the oldest three are in school and have after-school activities/summer camp and the youngest attends daycare M/W/F year-round. Children are well-behaved and love interacting with new people, are generally quick to warm up, and are very social, friendly, and lots of fun. They love all the things kids their age are into such as sports, arts & crafts, playing outside, Legos, playtime, etc. They are fairly independent and follow directions but are still at that age where they need an adult to manage the daily routine and help get to school and activities on time and offer friendly reminders to bring backpacks, lunchboxes, etc. :) Beautiful home located on the river with lots to do inside and outside and nearby local parks and library to enjoy. While this is a temporary opportunity, West Michigan Nannies would be happy to work with those interested in securing another nanny position within our company as it works with your schedule. Please include a brief description of your experience and availability when applying. This is a W-2 position with competitive hourly pay (direct deposit).
