Overview: Fun Loving and Travel ready Nanny needed for Family of 5 in Franklin.
Since meeting over 25 years ago, Mom and Dad have built a life filled with fun, travel, and adventure! In 2006, they founded a non-profit organization called charity: water with a mission to bring clean water to people in need around the world. For the first decade of their marriage, they built charity: water together until Mom left to focus on their growing family.
In 2014 they had their first boy, (B11), and then a second (G8). In 2020, when Covid hit, they decided to get out of NYC and bought a charming farmhouse with a private lake in the Pennsylvania countryside, where they experimented with raising chickens and growing a garden.
When the world opened up again, their family wanted to return to a life with friends nearby and a valued church community, so instead of returning to life in NYC, they moved to Franklin, TN and eventually had their third kiddo (B2). The couple is now expecting Baby#4 this October and couldn’t be more excited! (Another boy!)
Their oldest (B11) turns 11 in August, and is all boy. He plays baseball as his main sport, but is always open and interested in trying new things like chess, soccer, fencing, horseback riding and pickleball and is a killer Ping Pong player! He is a rising 5th grader that will be attending FCA this fall full time.
Next in line is (G8) who Mom and Dad say is an absolute angel. She loves all things art, especially drawing and crafting, makeup, dressing up and playing with her friends. She is kind and considerate, and puts others first. (G8) will attend school full time in the fall as well.
Their (current) youngest (B2) will be 2 in August and is a ton of fun! He loves his siblings and spends his days trying to keep up with them and do everything that they are doing. This can be exhausting at times, and when that happens, he’s down for a good nap to rest up, before getting back in the action again. (B2) is home full time.
And we can’t forget to mention Baby#4 due this October, whom everyone is very excited to meet! Mom will be home and caring for Baby#4 full time for the first 3 – 6 months.
Mom and Dad say they move pretty fast as a family. They are outgoing and love having people over to the house, and are prone to say yes to adventures, even on short notice. That being said, they always put family first, and when not working, prioritize spending as much time with their kiddos as possible.
The family's ideal candidate is:
Nurturing: Someone who loves babies and toddlers and has an avid interest in helping them grow and develop.
Creative, Assertive and Proactive: Someone who enjoys finding fun things to do to keep her day, as well as the children’s day, busy with activities, and who can communicate effectively with Mom and Dad to let them know what she needs to do her job well.
Tidy: Mom and Dad like to keep their home clean and clutter free – especially now that they will soon be a family of 6! Their ideal nanny will follow the family philosophy of ‘clean as you go,’ and will help with keeping the home tidy at the end of the day by putting away toys, used kitchen dishes and tidying up areas the kids have used.
Easy Going: This is a firm but casual family who values a happy and relaxed atmosphere in their home. Their ideal nanny will help reinforce respectful behavior, without being too strict, or imposing overreaching rules on their children.
Mature: Someone who is patient and can manage conflict between siblings as it occurs. Someone who can communicate calmly and directly to resolve problems and move on quickly, and who knows when to involve Mom and Dad when needed.
Experienced Driver: Because driving can be a regular part of their nanny’s day, caregivers who are experienced and comfortable driving minors, and who have a clean driving record, is a must.
Available for Travel: The family has a beautiful Farmhouse outside of NYC where they spend 10 weeks of the year - during the summer and also school holidays. They would love a nanny that will join them there and enjoy 250 acres of walking trails, a beautiful lake with swimming and fishing in the summer and lots of games by the fire in winter.
Family does NOT require candidates to have received the Covid Vaccine, Tdap or Flu Shot.
Overview of nanny's typical work day:
Nanny arrives: Either 7:30am or 9:00am (depending on dad’s travel schedule. When dad is out of town for work, Mom will need the early morning help for school drop-off.)
The 2 older children are in school full time and either Mom or Dad will drop them off in the morning. Nanny’s primary responsibility will be caring for (B2) full time.
Daily activities will include planned outings or playtime at the house, prepping meals and snacks for (B2), putting him down for his nap and then afternoon play until E.O.D.
