Start Date: ASAP
Location: Birmingham, MI 48009

Overview:
A warm, easygoing family in Birmingham, MI is looking for a full-time, long-term, live-out nanny. The family has three children, ages 1, 3, and 5. The 3- and 5-year-olds attend school, and the 1-year-old is in your care during the day.

Mornings start with helping get the children ready for the day and caring for the baby during school drop-off. The day includes naps, lunch prep, walks, library and park outings, and light tidying. In the afternoon the older children come home, and you’ll have all three together for less than an hour.

The family wants a proactive, happy, energetic and very active nanny who knows how to manage little ones well, especially toddlers. Someone health-conscious and into fitness is a plus. This person should be able to step in wherever help is needed without being asked. The family loves a tidy home. Meals and snacks happen only in the kitchen, the children are encouraged to clean up after themselves, and screens are used only when a child is sick. A cleaning service handles weekly deep cleaning.

The family travels about three times a year during school vacations and would like their nanny to come along. Your schedule stays the same while traveling. All travel expenses are covered, and you’ll have your own accommodations. During summer and school breaks the schedule remains 40 hours per week, but times may shift around day camp.

Benefits: Paid holidays, 2 weeks paid vacation (1 week chosen by the family, 1 week chosen by the nanny), 5 sick/personal days, W-2 payroll, paid travel expenses with private accommodations
