Part-time Permanent Nanny for a 3.5yo Boy + Baby Brother On The Way

**Our Family**:

- We're a family with 2 full-time working parents, a bright and happy 3.5yo boy, and a baby boy on the way in July. Our 3yo is fun and curious, and currently loves to make his own books about dinosaurs, space, volcanos, and travel. His favourite activities include drawing/painting, reading books, and visting playground, museums, and zoos. NOTE: we're looking for a nanny to primarily look after our 3yo for the moment. After his baby brother arrives, mum or dad will be home on leave for 6-8 months and we expect the nanny to remain focused on our 3yo but might occasionally swap or need to care for both for half-days. From March onwards, our 3yo will be attending his preschool 5 days a week, so the nanny will switch to primarily looking after our newborn.

**Our Perfect Caregiver**:

- Our current nanny of 2.5+ years is moving on to a new job aligned with her degree, so we're looking for someone who can step into her shoes caring for our 3yo and later caring for our second child. We're looking for someone who: - has experience working with little ones, including babies;
- understands the developmentally appropriate behaviours of young children and responsive to their needs;
- is flexible and adaptable to child's routine changes;
- is enagaing and can plan varied and stimulating activities, both at home and out-and-about for children;
- can support the growth and development of young children through gentle guidance. From our current nanny: After 2.5 wonderful years as xxxxx's nanny, I'm sadly moving on to pursue work aligned with my degree. It's truly bittersweet to leave such a beautiful family, they've been nothing short of incredible to work with. Now they're looking for a new nanny to care for their bright, curious, and fun 3 year old The family is warm, respectful, and truly values their nanny. You'll feel like part of the team, they communicate openly and treat their carers with so much kindness and appreciation. If you're reliable, engaging, have your license & own car and have experience with little ones, I couldn't recommend this family more highly
