Overview:

A warm, active family in Closter, NJ is looking for a full-time live-in nanny to care for their two children, ages 4 and 8. Both children are in school, so this is a split-shift role.

The parents set clear expectations and count on the nanny to run the day with confidence. The ideal candidate is energetic, organized and nurturing, cooks well, drives safely, and helps the children become more independent and responsible.

The live-in nanny will have a private, furnished basement suite with a bedroom with a door, a full bed, a private bathroom and a small gym. Household essentials are provided, and the nanny may use the common areas. The family belongs to a local pool club. In summer, the schedule typically changes to 7:00–8:00 AM and 4:00–8:00 PM.

Benefits: 2 weeks paid time off, 5 sick days, 2 personal days, gas and mileage reimbursement or use of the family car, private furnished living quarters, paid time off during family travel

  • Oversee homework and provide healthy snacks
  • Plan and cook family dinners
  • Handle bath time and bedtime routines

  • Do light, child-related housekeeping, including tidying up after the children and doing the kids’ laundry
  • Supervise and swim with the children at the pool club
  • Encourage independence and responsibility, and redirect behavior calmly and consistently

Requirements

  • 3+ years of professional nanny experience
  • Experience with children who have special needs strongly preferred
  • Strong cooking skills
  • Valid driver’s license required; your own reliable vehicle is a plus (a family car is available)
