Proactive & Engaging Nanny Needed

Overview A busy family in Alexandria is seeking to hire a professional, proactive, and energetic nanny to care for their three children, ages 4, 2, and 8 months. Their oldest attends preschool from 9am–12noon daily, so the role involves a mix of caring for all three children and more focused time with the younger two. They are looking for someone engaging, creative, and highly active who can keep up with their children’s energy and plan fun, enriching days—especially outdoors, as the kids love spending time at the park, on walks, and playing in the backyard. A confident driver is essential for outings, and a nanny car is provided. The ideal candidate is kind, organized, and takes initiative in managing child-related tasks such as laundry, keeping bedrooms and play areas tidy, and staying on top of daily routines. Strong communication skills and a genuine love for working with children are key, along with the ability to bring warmth, structure, and creativity into the home.
