Overview: Loving and attentive full time nanny needed for newborn in Green Hills.
Mom is the unicorn that is otherwise known as a Nashville native, and Dad is originally from Lexington, Kentucky. They met at Davidson College in NC, and have been married since 2009. For their careers, Mom is a Professor in the Department of Special Education at Vanderbilt, and Dad is a Healthcare Attorney at a local firm. When not working, this sweet couple likes to exercise, read, cook, and of course, spend as much time as they can with their family.
Together the couple has two children.
Their oldest, (G6), is a happy, silly, and easy-going little girl. She loves arts and crafts, pretend play, singing, reading, and getting together with other children in the neighborhood. And of course, she absolutely loves being a big sister!
Her little sister, (GNB), arrived late April and is a very sweet and snuggly baby who loves to eat. The family is in complete bliss and are learning more about her every day!
Also in the home is the family’s elderly Hound Mix named Lorna, who sleeps most of the day and is comfortable with people coming in and out of the home.
Mom and Dad consider themselves to be a fairly laid-back family. They tend to thrive on routines, but have also learned that flexibility is a must when caring for young children. With respect to their parenting style, they believe it is important to set clear expectations and boundaries with children, communicate those with love and kindness, and adhere to them as best they can. They want to raise their children to be empathetic, open-minded, and to understand there is strength in diversity of all kinds.
Mom will return to some parts of her job beginning in August (most of which will be remote work from home). She will return to her full time position beginning in January 2026, at which point she will also return to campus full time.
The family had great experiences with (2) nannies when (G6) was young, and those experiences reinforced their perspective on the most important qualities in a nanny:
The family's ideal candidate is:
Reliable and Dependable: Someone who will be at work on time and also attentive to the children’s schedule.
Warm and Kind: Someone who will love their children and is invested in their growth and development.
Highly Engaged: Someone who takes initiative and comes up with new play ideas and learning activities.
A Good Communicator: Mom and Dad value frequent communication and appreciate a nanny who will share updates during the day, and who will respond to their questions in a timely manner.
Conscientious and Attentive to Detail: Someone who will notice and respond to changes in child patterns and/or behaviors.
The family does not anticipate Driving will be needed much this fall but may add outings to the job description once (GNB) is a little older. Therefore a nanny who is experienced and comfortable driving minors, and who has a clean driving record, is a must.
The family does require candidates to have received the Covid Vaccine, Tdap, and Flu Shot. As they have nearby family members who are currently undergoing cancer treatment, the family places a premium on health and safety and prefers candidates who are conscientious of this.
