Overview: Warm and Nurturing Career Nanny needed for Family of 4 in Nashville.
Like many couples these days, Mom and Dad met online in 2018, and have since married and built a home grounded in kindness, curiosity and open communication.
For their careers, Dad works in Corporate Finance at Healthcare Company and Mom is a Physician. Both have demanding positions that have them out of the home and often require long hours and travel. When not working, they enjoy getting outdoors as a family, exploring new restaurants, cooking at home and traveling when possible.
Together, the couple has 2 beautiful children.
Their oldest, (G3), is a bright and playful toddler who loves crafts, books, outdoor adventures, and pretend play in her new toy kitchen. Mom and Dad say she is a great communicator, curious, and already showing a caring nature toward her baby brother and the people around her. She attends preschool full-time on Monday – Friday and has weekly music / swim classes as well. (G3) will be home during school closings / holidays.
Their son, 10 months, is a happy, easygoing, and curious baby who is developing quickly and already settling into consistent routines around feeding, naps, and play. He is highly engaged and responsive, and the family is intentional about supporting his development through structured, age-appropriate activities, including reading, music, outdoor time, and sensory play. He will be home full-time and is the primary focus of this role.
At this time, there are no pets in the home.
Mom and Dad consider their parenting style to be a healthy balance of nurturing and structure. They believe in gentle parenting, and setting clear boundaries with kindness and consistency. They value creativity, emotional intelligence, and positive discipline, in a home that is respectful, loving, and intentional.
The family’s current nanny’s time with them is coming to an end, so they are looking for a new caregiver to join the family circle and help support them in raising their son and daughter.
The family's ideal candidate is:
Warm and Nurturing: Someone who genuinely loves children, builds strong bonds, and brings a calm and caring energy into the home each day.
Experienced and Developmentally Attuned: Someone who is confident with babies and toddlers, especially around sleep, feeding, and supporting early learning through play, structure and routine. Highly engaged and proactive in creating a structured, development-focused day
Mature and Dependable: Someone who is emotionally steady, grounded and consistent, and who has the ability to handle day to day challenges with sound judgement and grace.
A Clear and Honest Communicator: Someone who is open, transparent, and comfortable partnering closely with parents through daily updates and shared expectations.
Flexible: Dad travels for work 2 to 3 days at a time, every few weeks, and Mom is on call for a full week (7 days in a row) every 2 to 3 months. During those weeks, the family will need a nanny who can be flexible to stay a little later, or come in a little earlier. In exchange for this flexibility, the family will always plan ahead and clearly communicate with a nanny regarding schedule changes.
Has a Long Term Mindset: Someone who sees nannying as a meaningful, professional career, and is excited to grow with a family over time.
Respectful: The family has a firm ‘No Screen Time’ policy for their children, and wants a nanny who will observe this for the children, and for herself, while working.
And because Driving will be needed on occasion, a nanny who is experienced and comfortable driving minors, and who has a clean driving record, is a must.
