About the Role

We're looking for a nanny who truly enjoys playing with kids — running around, piggyback rides, being silly, creating fun activities together.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys active play, outdoor activities, and engaging kids without relying on screens. The family hopes to find someone reliable, patient, and playful who can become part of their lives and ideally stay at least one year.

This position works especially well for college students studying education, psychology, speech therapy, or child development.

About the Kids

Two energetic 7-year-old twin boys who thrive with caregivers who enjoy active play. They love:

  • Riding bikes and scooters.
  • Backyard games.
  • Parks and outdoor play.
  • Sensory activities.
  • Trampoline parks.
  • Silly, physical play.

They respond best to caregivers who are warm, playful, and comfortable setting gentle boundaries.

Responsibilities

  • Outdoor activities and park outings.
  • Backyard games and movement-based play.
  • Creative or sensory activities.
  • Serving simple after-school snacks.
  • Tidying toys and activity areas after play.
  • Folding the children's laundry.

The family has house cleaners, so no general housework is required.

Requirements

  • Prior childcare experience (babysitting, camp, daycare, etc.).
  • Non-smoker.
  • Background check required.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Consistent weekly schedule.
  • Flexible weekend day.
  • Opportunity for more hours during summer.
  • Warm, respectful family environment.
  • Great role for students interested in child development.
  • Supported placement through Nanny Spark.
