This is a welcoming family where both parents work from home and occasionally travel for work. They are looking for a nanny who is comfortable partnering with parents while also working independently and taking ownership of the day-to-day care routine. The nanny will have autonomy throughout the day while having parents available as needed.

The family lives in a very walkable area with easy access to the Reading commuter rail station, local amenities, and outdoor opportunities. A car is not required, though having one is preferred. The family has a friendly cat, so applicants should be comfortable around pets.

They are hoping to find a nanny who can commit to providing care through at least August 2027, with the possibility of extending slightly beyond that timeframe.

The family is looking for someone who is warm, loving, playful, proactive, punctual, organized, and highly communicative. The ideal candidate will be confident caring for an infant and have a strong understanding of developmental milestones. They are hoping to find someone who can provide thoughtful guidance and support as their son grows, including helping with sleep routines, introducing solids, and adapting care as his needs change.

This person should be trustworthy, safety-minded, and comfortable maintaining open communication with parents. A caregiver who is attentive to the baby’s needs, engaged in his development, and excited to provide consistent, nurturing care during this important stage would be an excellent fit.
