Overview

A warm, easygoing family in Hanover, New Hampshire is seeking an experienced, dependable infant nanny for a contract position beginning November 5, 2026 and running through early July 2027.

The home is in a rural setting roughly forty minutes' walk from town, with snowy winter driving conditions, so a reliable vehicle and confidence driving in New England weather are essential. The home has three levels — a basement, ground level, and main level accessed by a flight of stairs — so the role is an active one. A friendly family dog is part of the household.
