Full-Time Nanny Position

Start Date: ASAP
Location: Bethlehem, PA 18015
Compensation: $25–$30/hour
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM
Guaranteed Hours: 50 hours/week
Position Type: Full-Time, Live-Out, Long-Term

Overview
A happy, active family in Bethlehem, PA is looking for a full-time nanny for their two young children: a 2-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl. Their current nanny is leaving to go back into teaching, and the family wants their next nanny to stay long-term. The parents are home and hands-on throughout the day, and the children’s grandmother lives nearby and visits often. It’s a warm, busy household where teamwork and good communication matter. The 2-year-old goes to school two mornings a week (8:30 AM–12:30 PM), so on those days the nanny has one-on-one time with the 1-year-old.

The family wants an upbeat, energetic, outgoing nanny who loves the work and knows how to handle toddlers. That means someone who can redirect a tantrum, keep little ones busy and engaged, and handle naps, diapering, and mealtimes with confidence. Experience in a daycare, preschool, or school setting is a great fit, and extensive private nanny experience isn’t required. The nanny won’t drive the children because the parents handle all transportation.

The family is living in a rental while they build a new home just down the street, so the commute will stay about the same after the move. During summer vacation, the family spends two to three months at their beach house on Long Beach Island, NJ, about two hours away, and they’d like the nanny to live in with them during that time. The family covers travel and gas, and provides room and board, including food. The nanny’s 50 guaranteed hours per week stay the same while they’re there.

Benefits: 1 week paid vacation (chosen by family), 1 week paid vacation (chosen by nanny), select paid federal holidays, 4–5 paid sick/personal days, travel and gas paid, plus room and board (private room and bath, food included) during summer stay, 50 guaranteed hours maintained during summer travel
