We are a warm, loving family seeking an exceptional Adventure Nanny & Early Childhood Educator for our nearly 3-year-old daughter.

Both parents work together as executives and travel extensively, typically ~15 days per month. We want our daughter to experience the world alongside us without sacrificing the consistency, education, and nurturing environment she'd have at home, and while allowing us to still work.

We're looking for an exceptional early-childhood educator excited by the opportunity to give one child a highly personalized education while seeing the world.

You'll be both caregiver and educator: keeping her safe and loved while turning everyday life and travel into opportunities for learning, exploration, independence, and growth. I n your downtime from travel and occasionally during travel, you’ll help the family with typical personal assistant (PA) work like booking appointments, coordinating travel for the family, and miscellaneous personal admin tasks.

• Serve as primary caregiver and educator while traveling with our family, typically ~15 days/month
• Create thoughtful, age-appropriate learning experiences through reading, conversation, play, museums, nature, art, and exploration
• Support her cognitive, language, social-emotional, and physical development
• Encourage independence, curiosity, confidence, kindness, and responsibility
• Maintain consistent routines and expectations across locations
• Own her daily care, including meals/snacks, bath time, dressing, bedtime, and activities
• Pack and organize her clothing, toys, books, and belongings for travel
• Safely, calmly, & confidently navigate airports, hotels, unfamiliar cities, schedule changes, and long travel days with a young child
• Keep her spaces and belongings organized and tidy
• Communicate proactively with us about her development, activities, and needs
• Complete personal admin tasks such as: travel booking, coordinating house and car maintenance, ordering gifts, scheduling appointments, planning extra curricular activities, etc.

While this is not a general housekeeping role; responsibilities outside of childcare extend to PA work.

Our goal is to raise an independent, confident, curious, kind, respectful, and responsible person.

We believe in:

• Independence:
  Let her try, struggle, solve problems, and learn from mistakes.
• Curiosity:
  Learn through reading, conversation, exploration, and play.
• Kindness & respect:
  Model calm, respectful behavior toward people, animals, and her environment.
• Responsibility:
  Teach her to help, contribute, clean up, and care for her things.
• Firm but kind boundaries:
  We use natural consequences and calm explanations, not yelling, shaming, spanking, or other harsh punishments.
• Consistency:
  Maintain aligned routines and expectations across caregivers and locations.

Our approach draws from positive discipline, Montessori principles, socioemotional learning, and pragmatic, evidence-based parenting.

You combine the expertise of an exceptional early-childhood educator with the judgment, flexibility, warmth, and stamina to travel extensively with a young family. You have good judgement, organization, and communication skills when it comes to handling personal tasks, and regard it with the utmost discretion.

• Bachelor's or Master's in Early Childhood Education or related field
• Strong academic record
• 2+ years professional experience with toddlers/preschoolers
• Deep understanding of ages 3–5
• Warm, patient, calm, and emotionally steady
• Highly organized, proactive, resourceful, and adaptable
• Exceptional spoken English and ability…
