Job Description

Start Date: July 2025 (exact move-in date TBD)

A warm, professional family relocating to the Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia is seeking an experienced, dependable, and loving nanny to care for their two young children: a 21-month-old boy and a newborn baby girl. The position is full-time and offers flexibility for either live-in or live-out arrangements. A baby nurse will be in place through September, so the role will gradually transition to full infant care when the baby is around 5 months old.

Both parents are doctors with demanding and often unpredictable schedules, so they are looking for someone flexible, reliable, and willing to stay overnight on occasion, even if live-out. For the first few months, if live-in housing is not available in the home, the family is willing to rent a nearby apartment for the nanny.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide nurturing, attentive care for both children, especially the toddler and eventually the infant

• Support developmental milestones through play, reading, and engaging activities

• Maintain consistent routines for sleeping, feeding, and daily structure

• Bottle prep, feeding, and sleep support for the infant (starting around 5 months)

• Prepare healthy meals and snacks for the children

• Handle all child-related housekeeping: children's laundry, cleaning up after meals, tidying toys and play areas, keeping the nursery organized

• Collaborate with the parents and follow their parenting style and guidance

• Maintain a safe and loving environment for the children

• Occasionally assist with family-related tasks, while maintaining child-centered priorities

Schedule:

• Full-time, hours TBD; flexibility required

• Occasional overnights and extended hours, particularly if live-out

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of professional experience caring for both infants and toddlers

• High energy and genuine love for working with children

• Infant experience is essential; baby care will become the main focus starting around September

• CPR and First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain)

• Proactive, communicative, and capable of working independently

• Flexible and able to adapt to evolving family needs and schedules

• Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. and able to pass background and reference checks

Additional Notes:

• A baby nurse will be supporting the family through September

• A housekeeper will be hired; nanny is only responsible for cleaning up after herself and the children

• If not live-in, housing may be provided temporarily nearby until a room becomes available
