About the job
New-to-Dallas family moving to 75087 is seeking a dedicated and nurturing full-time nanny to provide 40 hours per week of attentive, compassionate care for their children. This family values creating a loving, engaging, and structured environment that prioritizes their children's early development and well-being. Their parenting philosophy includes minimizing screen time, especially for children under two, and maintaining a diet free of added sugars when possible. With their newborn, they practice a responsive parenting approach, emphasizing safety, love, and reassurance rather than a "cry it out" method. For their toddler, they emphasize teaching emotional regulation, establishing appropriate boundaries, and allowing exploration when it is safe and constructive. They prefer natural consequences that match a child's actions, guiding their toddler toward positive growth and encouraging curiosity. Socialization is also a priority, with the family believing in the importance of unstructured play with other children to support social and emotional development. Responsibilities for this role include providing comprehensive newborn and toddler care, light housekeeping, driving the children in both the family and nanny's vehicles, and preparing meals for the children and occasionally for the family. Requirements for this position include a valid driver's license, a clean driving record, safe and reliable transportation, fluency in English, a minimum age of 21, at least two years of paid childcare experience with a strong emphasis on caring for infants and toddlers. A bachelor's degree is preferred but not required. The ideal candidate will align with the family's parenting values and contribute to creating a nurturing, structured, and joyful environment for their children. This position pays $24-$28/hr and offers benefits including paid time off.
