Active, warm family seeking a full time nanny to help care for three energetic young boys, 2-year-old twins and a 5-year-old. The nanny will typically be tag-teaming with the parents or another caregiver to provide loving, nurturing care for the children in the family’s home.
Their ideal nanny would have extensive and recent experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, ideally in both a family and childcare setting. Experience working with either twins/multiples or caring for multiple young toddlers as in a nanny-share is required. The nanny will be working as part of a team with the parents, several other nannies, and occasional grandparent help, so they must be comfortable switching off duties throughout the day and communicating clearly with other caregivers.

Note: must be comfortable sharing the home with a large (but well trained) German Shepherd dog, although he or she would not be responsible for his care. They also must be comfortable with a somewhat rural setting, and all that goes with that (i.e., occasional run-ins with spiders and snakes around the property).
Willingness to occasionally travel with the family for up to a week at a time is appreciated but not required.
