Professional Career Nanny

Holistic-minded, conservative family in Troy seeking a warm, highly dependable, proactive, and deeply engaged full-time nanny/household support person for their two young children. The family values consistent routines, imaginative play, emotional warmth, outdoor time, creative screen-free engagement, and a calm but confidently structured household rhythm.

Mom works from home and is present in the home approximately 70% of the time, so the ideal candidate must feel comfortable confidently leading the children and maintaining structure and engagement while working alongside a hands-on parent.

This role is ideal for someone who naturally brings leadership, initiative, playful energy, and strong executive-functioning skills into a home environment — someone who enjoys actively guiding the flow of the day rather than passively supervising children.

What They’re Looking For:

• 6+ years of experience with young children in a structured home environment
• High energy, engaging, emotionally warm, and genuinely present throughout the day
• Strong leadership with children — able to confidently guide transitions, routines, and daily structure in a calm and positive way
• Naturally proactive and able to take initiative without constant direction
• Understands the dynamics of a busy household and can assimilate quickly into established routines and rhythms
• Comfortable managing the rhythm and momentum of a busy household
• Able to keep children actively engaged through imaginative play, movement, outdoor time, crafts, sensory activities, games, reading, baking, and creative learning
• Understands how to use playful redirection, songs, games, silliness, and creativity to help children cooperate and transition smoothly
• Able to confidently manage routines such as dressing, diaper changes, cleanup, hygiene, meals, and transitions without long periods of stalling or negotiation
• Emotionally steady, patient, and nurturing while also maintaining structure and follow-through
• Able to redirect children calmly and confidently when they become attached to mom during the day
• Comfortable supporting a homeschooling rhythm during part of the day
• Highly dependable, punctual, responsible, organized, and communicative — reliability and consistency are extremely important in this role
• Honesty, maturity, and upfront communication are very important to this family
• Naturally tidy and willing to help maintain household flow throughout the day (children’s cleanup, kitchen resets after meals/snacks, toy/activity organization, light household support related to the children)
• Comfortable in an unvaccinated household and aligned with conservative family values

This is NOT a passive nanny position. The ideal candidate genuinely enjoys:

• Leading the day with warmth and confidence
• Keeping children moving, engaged, and emotionally regulated
• Creating structure without harshness
• Bringing positive momentum and initiative into the home
• Thinking ahead and proactively solving problems before they escalate

Schedule:

• Full-time
• Monday–Friday
• Approximately 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM

About the Kiddos:

• 3-year-old boy: obsessed with hockey, sports, construction vehicles, and cars — very funny, active, and strong-willed
• Almost 6-year-old girl: loves figure skating, dance, baking, reading, crafts, and all things fancy (almost 6 going on 15!)

The family is looking for someone who truly enjoys building strong relationships with children while also confidently leading the household rhythm with warmth, initiative, consistency, and joyful engagement.

If this sounds like a great fit, please apply!
