Family Summary:
The Nanny Joynt is super excited to share this amazing new full-time position with a sweet family who spends their summers in Flagstaff! Their adorable 16-month-old daughter is full of energy and needs lots of intellectual stimulation during the day. Plus, they’re expecting a new baby girl in September!
They’re on the lookout for a career nanny with recent experience working with infants. They need someone with a warm, caring personality who takes the initiative to find tasks to complete while the kids are napping. You should be detail-oriented, organized, intelligent, and super safety-conscious. They do prefer a nanny who is physically fit, active, able to carry children up and down stairs, and able to keep up with their children. Their toddler is fearless and high-energy, so she must be supervised at all times. Previous experience caring for two young children is a must! Their new nanny should also be skilled at planning activities for the children at their home as they aren’t comfortable with the nanny driving the children at this time.
This family does travel, and they want their nanny to join in on the fun! They own a home in Flagstaff where they spend most of the summer, and you’d have your own room and private bathroom there. They also have a home in Cabo San Lucas and occasionally take family vacations to Mexico for up to a week.
If you enjoy Flagstaff and want to escape the Phoenix heat in the summer, this is the perfect opportunity! They’re looking for a FUN, engaging nanny who is excited to be with their girls each day, enjoys playing, and creates fun and exciting learning opportunities. You should be organized, responsible, self-driven, a team player, and happy to jump in and help out where needed. Mom and Dad are in and out of the home each day, so you need to be comfortable working with them as a team. They want their nanny to feel comfortable taking care of the children and be a part of the family.
