• Start date/Contract dates: As soon as they find the right fit!
• Schedule: Full-time, guaranteeing 40 hours per week with the general schedule falling on Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm.

Household dynamic:

• The family’s 22-month-old son loves to swim, read, and play with anything that has wheels or an engine! He is a sweet and curious boy who is excited to learn, try new things, and meet new people. Both parents are passionate about life and are always looking to learn from every situation. They deeply care about the health of their minds, bodies, souls, and this planet and choose to have a holistic, sustainable, and ethical filter through everything they do. Their home is nurtured and fueled by the arts and is often filled with music, dance, laughter, play, kindness, and curiosity. These fun-loving parents are in and out of the house regularly and like to maintain a relaxed, and joyful vibe at home.
• The family loves to travel and they hope to find a candidate who is eager to support them both at home and on their travels! They are a progressive and nurturing family that looks forward to inviting a candidate to their team who can integrate into their home, adapt to their family’s style and structures, and can be a loving, conscientious, and a professional member of their family for years to come!

Ideal candidate: 

• This position is ideal for someone with a glass-half-full mindset who is also growth-minded, compassionate, and great at communicating! Being able to strike a balance between being confident and adaptable will be key to helping foster open communication and collaboration with the parents.
• A candidate who brings a developmentally minded approach to the day and proactively researches, and implements activities and educational play while supporting the children’s curiosity and exploration, will thrive alongside the family. Responsibilities will mostly focus on child-related tasks, but the family is also seeking someone who can balance their childcare duties with tasks like the child’s laundry, meal prep, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, and errands.
• Bonus qualifications: While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who brings experience with Montessori, Waldorf, RIE, and/or an early childhood education background, and who loves to continue learning and growing in their profession.
• While not a requirement for the role, the family is excited to work with someone who has a big appreciation for food and is eager to incorporate that passion into the role and assist with supporting occasional simple, healthy meal prep!

Qualifications:

• At least 3 years of professional, full-time childcare experience
• Valid driver’s license and passport
• Recent, applicable experience caring for toddlers
• Flexibility to travel with the family
• Ability to adhere to strict healthy home/healthy child protocols
• Ability to swim and care for toddlers around water
• Comfortable providing simple, healthy meal prep for the children (and ideally the whole family!)
