About the job
Family located in Santa Fe, NM is seeking a nanny for their 2 children (3 years and 5 months). The family describes their ideal nanny as, "Someone that is a warm, nurturing caregiver who brings joy, patience, and expertise into every moment she spends with our children. With a strong background in child psychology, she understands the developmental needs of both our curious almost-3-year-old and our sweet 5-month-old. Her approach is informed by Montessori principles, fostering independence, creativity, and a love of learning through hands-on activities and play. She's skilled at creating a calm, engaging environment where our children can explore and grow at their own pace. Most importantly, she truly loves spending time with kids. Her enthusiasm is evident in the way she connects with our children, building trust and forming a bond that feels like an extension of our family. She's not just a caregiver but a partner in fostering a happy, secure, and stimulating environment where our little ones can thrive." Here is how the family describes themselves, "We're a laid-back, warm family of four excited to welcome someone into our home who can bring both joy and expertise to our children's days. The mom works from home, balancing her career with caring for the kids, while the dad works outside the home, so we rely on a dependable nanny to help manage the flow of our busy household. Our almost-3-year-old is a curious, energetic little girl with a love for imaginative play, and our 5-month-old is a peaceful baby who's starting to explore the world around him. We value family time, but also understand the importance of a balance between work and play, so we appreciate a nanny who can take initiative, manage the kids with ease, and create enriching moments without needing constant direction. We're in town for 4.5 months, and we're looking for someone who is comfortable in a dynamic environment and enjoys working as a team with us. We're easygoing, communicative, and open to ideas and suggestions. Our priority is finding a caring, reliable person who can offer both a sense of fun and stability for our children while we navigate our daily routines."
