About the job
To be considered, please apply at https://web.smartsitting.com/jobs. Thank you! A wonderful returning SmartFamily in Cobble Hill is looking for an after-school superstar to join their team. This family has three girls: a 6-year-old, and her older sisters, who are 12 and 14. You'll mostly be working with their youngest, but there will be times you're with the older siblings as well, so they need someone happy to work with both age groups. They're looking for someone highly organized, mature, and caring. Their little one is super smart and just adorable! She has some big feelings, so they'd love to find a really empathetic and loving nanny who can guide her as she navigates those moments. You're also someone who works well with teenagers, and can engage with them on their interests, but you can also take a step back and give them their space too. They have the option for summer hours as well, and would love for you to live-in with them in the Berkshires: however, they are open to discussing a school-year-only role for the right candidate. It's $35 to $38/hour gross and the family is happy to guarantee 23 hours per week (and you'll often have the opportunity for more hours) plus PTO, Sick Time and a MetroCard. Please note, they're looking for someone who can be flexible to work one weekend day (Saturday night or Sunday, which will vary) at least 2-3 weekends per month. The Ideal Candidate for this Job This family is looking for a mature and experienced part-time nanny. You're a team player and great communicator, both with the parents you're working for and with other staff in the home. They would also love to find someone creative! The ideal candidate is intuitive and caring with the kids in your care: you're experienced and can help a child with big feelings. This family doesn't align with traditional discipline styles: the ideal candidate for this role has an interest in kids' development and/or want to learn more. You want to be her friend and help her learn how to navigate these things. With her older siblings, you're someone who takes an interest in bonding with them, but you're also happy to give them their space too. Schedule Monday - Thursday: 2:45 PM to 7 PM with one late night per week (this can be a set night every week or flex). One weekend shift of 5 hours (either Saturday PM or Sunday), at least 2-3 weekends/month. They're happy to work with you ahead of time on which weekends/days are best on an ongoing basis. For this school year, they don't need most Fridays but appreciate the flexibility to work some Fridays from 3 PM-6 PM or so (next school year may be different). Additional flexibility to cover school days off, mild illness, etc. is also very helpful.
