A warm, holistic family in Weston, CT is seeking a nurturing, like-minded Nanny / Nanny-Hybrid Family Assistant to join their home long-term.

Mom lovingly describes their household as a “tree-hugging, sourdough-bread-loving” family — grounded in nature, simplicity, and intentional living. They value connection, creativity, and allowing childhood to unfold organically in a peaceful, screen-free environment.

• Loving, attentive care for two young children (ages 3 & 15 months)
• Support free, child-led unguided play
• Encourage creativity, imagination, and exploration
• Outdoor play, nature walks, crafts, baking, and sensory experiences
• Maintain a screen-free environment
• Follow natural rhythms vs. rigid schedules
• Children are on consistent nap rhythms
• Nanny prepares and feeds lunch only for the children

Learning Approach

The family practices unschooling — there is no structured learning, curriculum, or formal lesson planning. Learning is play-based and child-led.

Children are encouraged to ask questions freely, and the nanny is welcomed to engage and answer in an age-appropriate, respectful way.

• Baby due May 2026
• Mom on maternity leave ~3 months
• Breastfeeding and hands-on initially
• Gradual, collaborative transition to nanny care
• Compensation increases +$5/hr once newborn care becomes a regular responsibility

This is a collaborative, tag-team household.

Mom works from home and remains actively involved. She steps in when both children need attention, creating a supportive caregiving dynamic.

Duties include:

• Help with family laundry
• Preparing 3 larger family meals per week
• Light household support (not limited to the children)
• Keeping shared spaces tidy and organized
• Supporting household flow as a team

The family owns a business with an active social media presence.

Occasionally, the nanny may:

• Hold a camera/phone while mom films Instagram reels
• Help set up simple cooking or lifestyle video shoots
• Provide brief assistance during filming moments

This support is minimal and always secondary to childcare.

• Holistic, nature-centered household
• Gentle parenting approach
• Screen-free environment
• Free, unguided play encouraged
• Unschooling philosophy

The family follows a Christian faith and values kindness, gratitude, and strong moral foundations within the home. They are seeking a caregiver who feels comfortable and respectful within a faith-oriented household environment.

The family does not vaccinate and prefers a caregiver who does not receive boosters or annual flu shots and who aligns with their holistic health philosophy.

Available for the right candidate:

Private, separate apartment provided for comfort and privacy.

• $35/hour (on payroll)
• Health stipend (HRA)
• 2 weeks paid vacation
• Federal holidays off (paid)
• 5 paid sick days
• Guaranteed full-time hours
• +$5/hr raise when newborn care begins
• Long-term, stable role

The current nanny is available to provide a smooth training and transition period for the new hire.
