About the job
A warm and loving family in Austin, TX (78703) is seeking a dedicated and experienced full-time nanny to care for their 3-month-old daughter. This is a long-term position with a 12-month contract to start and the potential for a lasting relationship with the family. The schedule will be Monday through Friday within the 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. time frame, with guaranteed 40 hours per week and the possibility of up to 50 hours on some weeks. The ideal candidate will provide attentive and nurturing infant care, ensuring the child's safety and well-being at all times. Responsibilities include bottle feeding, introducing solids when developmentally appropriate, and managing the baby's daily routine, including naps, playtime, and age-appropriate activities. The nanny should engage in early childhood development through reading, singing, and interactive play while also performing light housekeeping related to the child, such as washing bottles, tidying up toys, and doing baby laundry. Open and frequent communication with parents is essential, as the child has a rare medical condition that, while not affecting her abilities or development, requires constant supervision and attention. The family requires the nanny to get an annual flu shot and have a recent TDAP vaccine, or willingness to become vaccinated. The ideal candidate will have significant newborn and infant experience, with a preference for those with a medical background or experience working with medically complex children. The family is looking for a nanny who is reliable, kind, and nurturing, with a true passion for childcare. They prefer someone who views this as a career, values long-term placements, takes initiative, and integrates smoothly into their daily lives. This position offers a competitive salary, guaranteed hours with frequent overtime, paid time off, federal holidays, and sick days.
