Overview: Nanny/Family Assistant needed for busy family of 4!
This fun and active family moved to Nashville from Los Angeles 4 years ago, and haven't looked back since. For their careers, Mom is in Finance and Dad is CEO of an Adventure Company, and both parents work from home in designated work spaces. Mom also travels a night or two almost weekly for work.
When not hard at work, this family loves to go on adventures, and all around, just have fun. Weekends are filled with having friends over, a weekend movie night, or playing board or card games. And because they left family behind in California, they do return to the west coast often to visit.
The couple has 2 boys, (B9) and (B7), who are polar opposites, but great friends.
(B9) is a curious and patient introvert. His Math skills are super strong, but he also loves to write, research animals or cities or whatever he is currently 'into,' and most nights falls asleep reading because he is deeply enthralled in his book. His little brother, (B7) is the life of any party, with an infectious energy you can't help but to be drawn to. (B7) has recently fallen a little behind in reading, but the family is working with him daily to get him caught back up.
Both boys play baseball and football and are getting into lacrosse and (B7) also plays basketball.
Both boys are in school full time.
Also in the home is the family's 14 year old Shiba Inu!
Mom and Dad believe structure is the backbone of their family. Their boys are very comfortable with rules, and understand that there are consequences for crossing boundaries. It can take a village to raise kids these days, and this family is no exception. They have a great network of friends and babysitters who fold in and help when they can, so the boys are loved and supported by many.
The family's ideal candidate is organized, disciplined, fun, and trustworthy. Someone who is comfortable parenting and being in charge, even when parents are around (with full support from the parents). The family needs a nanny who is proactive and who can establish and maintain an after school/homework routine to establish lasting routines. Also, understanding that driving is an important part of the job description, candidates with experience transporting children and who have a clean driving record are a must. (The family has an extra car for their nanny to drive.)
This could be a hybrid Nanny / House Manager position, so a caregiver who has experience and is comfortable with both roles is ideal, as each day will look a little different than the next.
Also, Mom loves to cook and currently prepares healthy, clean dinners herself most evenings, including meal prep for the times she is traveling. Candidates who enjoy and have experience preparing nutritious meals, and could take over this responsibility, would be a valued addition to the family.
If you are a nanny looking to become part of a family, and an integral part of their 'village,' this is the position for you!
