Description: 

Adaptable and Knowledgable Full-Time Nanny Needed for Two Children in Swampscott, MA!

A family in Swampscott is seeking a dedicated nanny to provide care for their two children, a very social almost 5 year old who is in school from 8am to 3pm and stays busy with after school activities, and a 13 month old who is a bit more timid and careful. Their ideal candidate has a background in early childhood education and ensures each child’s individual needs are met throughout the day, though primary care is for the youngest. This is a wonderful kid focused role, from planning enriching activities both inside and outside the home to preparing simple meals and snacks, tidying the playroom and child spaces, and helping load and unload the dishwasher, while separate household help already covers laundry and deep cleaning. The family lives steps from the beach with a true outdoor lifestyle, plus a spacious yard and playground that neighborhood kids love to gather in, along with two dedicated playrooms at home for gross motor and fine motor play. Days often include age-appropriate outings and classes, as the oldest is an avid, year round swimmer.

The ideal candidate genuinely loves being with children, especially young toddlers, and feels like a true extension of the family. This family has loved their longtime babysitter for the past two years and is looking for that same kind of warmth and commitment moving forward. Comfortability with mom being present and involved throughout the day is important, and they’re looking for someone who is easygoing, while also bringing real initiative and their own ideas. Since the two children have very different personalities, a cautious younger sibling still building confidence and a charismatic, spirited older sister, the right fit can move easily between the two, embracing each personality while holding consistent, loving boundaries. This family follows an authoritative parenting style with clear expectations and consequences, so someone confident in following through will be a great fit. Above all, they’re looking for someone local to the North Shore who feels genuinely happy to be part of their day to day life and home.
