WHO/WHAT:  Afternoons in this household are anything but boring. This newly relocated McCandless family is searching for a reliable, calm, and creative nanny to become their partner in after-school care. Their bright, inquisitive daughter attends school daily from 9–3:30, and she thrives when afternoons are filled with movement, play, and gentle guidance. You’ll cover the core hours of 3–6 pm, with flexibility to add an hour before school pick-up (2–3 pm) for light household tasks, or an hour after for dinner prep or extended care (until 7 pm). This is a role that grows with the family: more hours are available during major school breaks (summer/winter/spring), other student off days, and occasional weekends or date nights are always welcome. Your afternoons together will include curiosity-fueled fun. This includes pick-up, snacks, outings to the park, climbing and running games, or the occasional ice cream stop. At home, you’ll help her transition smoothly from school into playtime or quiet time, ensuring her afternoons are structured yet fun. Parents appreciate a nanny who can gently redirect, encourage communication, and follow their child’s lead while still keeping a routine. Household support includes children’s and parents’ laundry, vacuuming/sweeping, light dinner prep, and pet care (feeding and litter box maintenance for two cats).

THE IDEAL NANNY IS… BALANCED!You’re the kind of caregiver who can balance patient calm with creative energy. Kids feel safe with you because you’re consistent, kind, and trustworthy—yet they’re also drawn to your playful side that says, “Yes, let’s climb that slide one more time.” You know that transitions can be tricky, so you lean on routines, choices, and gentle redirection. You’re organized enough to keep a household humming, reliable enough to always show up when you say you will, and personable enough that both parents and kids truly enjoy your presence. You are a safe and reliable driver (you are welcome to use the family’s vehicle!), love being outdoors, and you don’t shy away from pitching in with the small but important tasks that make family life easier. This family is multicultural (Mom from Taipei, Dad with roots in the U.S. and a stint in Australia), welcoming, and eager to find a nanny who feels like part of the team. If you’re ready to spend your afternoons outdoors, laughing, learning, and lightening the load for a busy family, this is your role—apply today!
