We are a warm and welcoming family seeking an experienced, emotionally attuned sitter. I am a licensed therapist in private practice, and our home values connection-based, respectful, and emotionally supportive caregiving.
This role is ideal for a nanny who is confident supporting emotional regulation, sibling dynamics, and daily routines using encouragement, creativity, and calm leadership rather than punishment or power struggles.
Key Responsibilities:

• Homework support
• Preparing snacks/dinner
• Guiding evening routines and transitions
• Light cleanup
Experience We Value:
• Several years working with school-aged children
• Ability to treat each child fairly and individually
• Strong skills in listening to, validating, and responding to children’s emotions

• Ability to help children manage routines and responsibilities using positive encouragement and creative motivation
• Calm, consistent, and emotionally grounded presence
Requirements:
• Reliable car and clean driving record
• Comfortable around pets
• Dependable, communicative, and consistent
Schedule:
• Mondays: 3:00–9:00 PM (more days available depending on experience)
• Start date: January 12, 2026 (flexible for the right fit)
Compensation:
Competitive and based on experience; discussed by phone.
To apply, please answer the following screening questions:
1. Can you share an example of how you’ve helped siblings work through conflict while ensuring both children felt heard and treated fairly?
2. What strategies do you use to help children regulate big emotions or stay motivated during routines they find challenging (homework, transitions, bedtime)?
If you value working with a family that treats you like family, we would love to hear from you.
