They value spending time outdoors, playing together, and providing their children with engaging experiences and activities. They are looking for a professional nanny who will become a trusted and dependable presence in their children’s lives while working collaboratively with both parents.

Children

The family employs professional housekeeping assistance monthly, so this is not a heavy housekeeping position. Household responsibilities are limited to tasks directly related to the children and maintaining the spaces used during the nanny’s workday.

Ideal Candidate

The family would love to find a nanny who is:

Parenting Philosophy

The family believes in providing their children with loving guidance while maintaining appropriate boundaries.

When challenging behaviors arise, they prefer redirection whenever possible while remaining consistent about limits. If an object is being used inappropriately or unsafely, it may be removed while the child is redirected toward a more appropriate activity.

They are looking for a nanny who can reinforce this approach with patience, consistency, and age-appropriate expectations.

The family lives in a spacious two-story, four-bedroom home with a large backyard in Matthews.
Because the home has significant stairs, the nanny should be comfortable safely navigating multiple levels while caring for an infant and toddler.
