Part-time Nanny position

We are actively looking for a nanny for our daughters (ages 5 and 7).

Primary schedule is Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. plus a date night [TBD and we are flexible] then during summer it would be full-time. Note: Additional hours are available for someone who also feels comfortable running errands.

We want someone who is experienced with young girls and is fun-loving, professional, responsible, enthusiastic, friendly, active, flexible and level headed.

The position would include planning fun activities for the girls, playing with them and assisting with homework [they are currently in Kindergarten and 2nd grade] and handling household tasks geared to the girls’ needs (such as washing the girls’ laundry, cooking their meals, guiding them to keep the play area tidy, etc.). They are very active and also love playing games, reading, and anything arts and crafts oriented. We are healthy eaters and not TV watchers- so are looking for someone with a similar style. Own transportation, clean driving record and non smoker a must. Note we do have kitty-cats.
