Location: Lakewood, OH, 44107 Children: 4 year-old & 2-year-old Compensation: $25-$30/hr Schedule: 45 guaranteed hrs/week per week, Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Description: A welcoming family in Lakewood, OH, is looking for a proactive and nurturing nanny to care for their two young children ages 4 and 2 years old! Their daughter is independent, lively, and always on the move! She loves to climb, tumble, and read! She's also quick to join in on her brother's latest game. Confident in herself, she enjoys solo play, clearly expresses her needs, and is often immersed in adventures with her beloved toys. Their son is a natural storyteller who thrives in school. He adores musical theater, loves to dance, and enjoys crafting imaginative worlds. Whether he's drawing, biking, or exploring the playground, he brings curiosity and creativity to everything he does! This family embraces the Montessori philosophy, fostering independence and self-sufficiency in their children. They create an environment where little hands take on meaningful tasks-whether it's helping in the kitchen or helping with laundry- they value instilling a sense of responsibility and belonging. With confident decision-making, strong communication, and mutual respect being cornerstones of their household. They seek a nanny who seamlessly integrates into this dynamic, guiding rather than directing, and nurturing the children's growth with patience and encouragement. While they maintain a general routine for stability, they also appreciate flexibility, believing that adaptability is key to building resilience. This family thrives on quality time, whether it's gathering with loved ones for outings, exploring a nearby museum, spotting animals at the zoo, or playing at the playground. The family is searching for a nurturing and resourceful nanny who thrives in a well-structured environment. They appreciate a caregiver who embraces organization, particularly when it comes to keeping the children's belongings tidy using a thoughtful system. A passion for fostering creativity and respecting a child's natural curiosity is essential. The right fit will be someone who understands developmental milestones, leads by example and encourages independence to instill confidence. Collaboration with parents is key, ensuring a seamless approach to both daily routines and big milestones. Someone who picks up on expectations quickly, asks insightful questions and takes initiative will feel right at home. A background in Montessori or a similar child-centered philosophy would be a wonderful bonus. Responsibilities include creating a nurturing and stimulating environment, preparing meals and snacks for the children, managing their laundry, keeping play areas tidy, planning engaging activities, assisting with child-related transportation, and handling light housekeeping. The family is eager to welcome a nanny who will not only support their daily routine but also bring enthusiasm and warmth into their home.
