Nanny
Warm and kind family 30 minutes from Philadelphia seeks a FULL-TIME NANNY for their sweet 3.5-year-old daughter with special needs from 8:30am-5:30pm Monday-Friday. The hours may change in the evening +- 1 hour if opportunities arise such as special needs music class at 5:15PM or if parents are home early and don’t need the extra hands.
Their daughter has global developmental delays, is non-verbal, and has mild epilepsy. She has multiple therapies throughout the day. She is adorable and funny! While she is nonverbal, she communicates well. Her current schedule consists of attending therapy or school from 9-10:30am, playground/other activity from 11-12:30pm, nap from 1:30-3:30pm, and therapy/activity from 4-5:30pm.
Typical caregiver duties include driving to and from therapies/activities/school in a punctual manner; dressing for the day and changing for naps, as well as having backup clothes packed and ready in the car; putting on ankle braces and shoes; administering medication on occasion; preparing lunches and snacks for the child, and helping implement strategies from feeding therapist and speech therapists; changing diapers (pull-ups); keeping backpack ready to go and clean- prepping for next day/replenish whatever is needed; keeping inventory of child’s items; and occasionally helping with bathing and bedtime routine if parents are out. The nanny will also be responsible for practicing and implementing therapies, participating in therapy sessions when required; helping support the child in the classroom; keeping a clear line of communication between parents, therapists, and admin, and working together as a united front to ensure everyone is on the same page and working in the same direction to aid in the child’s growth and development.
Mom stays home and is working to create a specific curriculum for her daughter in a privatized environment. She is busy with meetings throughout the day, as well as caring for their other two children (a 10-month-old and 5-year-old) who are primarily under the care of mom and a dedicated live-in nanny. While care is NOT required for the other children, they will be in the home and interact on occasion. Although mom is in the home at times, she is looking for someone who can step in and own the position instead of waiting for her to provide instruction. Someone who has autonomy, can work independently and understands the importance of their role to provide complete care for their child so that mom can focus on projects, care for her other kids and keep the household running smoothly.
They seek a nanny who is trustworthy, responsible, and a self-starter. Someone who is proactive, punctual, and RELIABLE. The ideal candidate is a team player, who can be warm and silly, and is dedicated and timely. Someone who is a true professional, drama-free, and doesn’t bring their personal life with them to work. Special needs experience is preferred but not required. Someone who has the right mindset and the heart behind it will excel. Must be fully vaccinated for COVID, the flu, tdap, and all other general vaccines, as their child is medically complex. They have 3 cats in the home, so no allergies!
Pay is $30+/hour depending on experience. Benefits include paid sick days, holidays, 2 weeks of paid vacation and performance-based bonuses. Start date ASAP.
