Overview: Proactive and Professional Nanny/Family Assistant needed for family of 6 in Franklin.
Having shared classes and mutual friends, it was virtually predestined that Mom and Dad would meet in college, and then, after a whirlwind courtship, would get engaged and married, and then become parents before their 2nd anniversary!
Flash forward to today, and they have been together for almost 22 years and have 4 beautiful children.
Their oldest (B15) will be 16 at Christmas. He is loving learning to drive, and when he has a license, will be pretty self-sufficient. (B15) can be described as ‘a guy’s guy,’ and plays football, baseball and soccer, and plans to be a D1 athlete when he goes to college. (B15) is in school full time.
(B12) is his little brother, and is a very sensitive and responsible boy, who always stands up for what is right. He is starting his first season of tackle football this year, and has played travel soccer for 4 years. (B12) is also in school full time.
Their younger sister, (G9), is a ray of sunshine and is starting 4th grade this year. She is a lovely young lady with a sensitive and tender heart. She has dabbled in almost every activity you can imagine, and is currently enrolled in voice lessons, tumbling, and still determining her team activity for the year. (G9) will also be in school full time.
Rounding out the crew is their precious little outlier (G2), who basically has 5 ‘parents’ doting on her all the time. She is definitely everyone’s favorite ‘little sister,’ which can be good and bad at times! (G2) attends preschool two morning s a week.
Also in the home is the couple’s Boxer Puppy, Zoe, and their 2 older Frenchies, Rosie and Barkley.
Active is the first word that comes to mind when describing this family, who always seems to find things to do even on low key days. Having 2 boys first definitely influenced Mom and Dad’s parenting style, and they certainly became more laid back because of it. Theirs is a healthy balance between expressing high expectations and strong standards for their children, and leading each day with a ‘go with the flow’ attitude where they can enjoy their kiddos, rather than correcting every mishap.
The family's ideal candidate is:
Protective and Responsible: Someone who will prioritize the safety and wellbeing of all children at all times.
Flexible: Someone who has the ability to pivot and adjust to the needs of the day.
Reliable and Responsible: Someone who will be at work on time, who can be counted on to be on time for school pick-ups and children’s activities, and who can, when needed, be kind but firm in making sure that the children are attentive to their school assignments.
Organized: Someone who likes Organization, especially as it pertains to the children and their belongings. With 4 children at home, clutter is a daily challenge and Mom knows that a house runs smoothly when everything is in its correct place. In time, she would like a nanny to be able learn where items belong, and help instruct the children on how to properly pick up after themselves as well.
Doesn’t mind Laundry: Laundry is a constant in a household of 6, so caregivers who can manage at least a load a day is needed.
Experienced and Professional: Someone who has experience and is comfortable supporting both childcare and home operations.
Respectful: Mom and Dad’s faith is a firm part of their family’s foundation, and it is important to them that their children treat all others with kindness and respect, and that they always use appropriate language. They prefer candidates who will understand and play a supportive role in reinforcing these practices. It is also important that a nanny does not wear strong perfumes or lotions, or use heavily scented laundry detergents.
Okay with Pets: Someone who likes animals and is not fearful of dogs. The family will need occasional help with walking the dogs, specifically the puppy who has a lot of energy. They want a nanny to know she has also been through an intensive dog training program and is a very good pup.
And because Driving will be needed, a nanny who is experienced and comfortable driving minors, and who has a clean driving record, is a must.
Family does NOT require candidates to have received the Covid Vaccine, or have a current Tdap or Flu Shot.
Overview of nanny's typical work day:
Nanny arrives: Between 10am and 1pm
With 4 children in the home, each day may look a little different than the next.
The beginning of the shift will be FA facing and will focus on household organization, laundry and tidying, and potential dog walking.
Right now, the one constant is a daily nap for (G2) from 1p – 4p.
During this window, either Mom or Nanny will remain at home to start dinner, etc. while (G2) sleeps, and the other will leave to start the afterschool routine for the older kiddos.
Mom expects this to be a 50/50 role.
2:30 PM - FA will begin transitioning to Nanny Role, which will include Afterschool Pick Up at 3pm, driving kiddos to after school activities, and running errands.
Once back home, Nanny and Mom will work together (or independently) to meal prep, get the kiddos fed and kitchen cleaned up, and supervise the children’s homework assignments, and bath and bedtime routine.
