About Us

We’re a busy family of four located in Mesa, AZ, with two elementary‑school‑aged children (ages 9 and 6). Our kids are active in karate, gymnastics, and youth sports, and they love learning new things—especially languages. Both children are currently in the Arizona foster care program, which means our chosen nanny must pass specific fingerprint and background checks required by the Department of Child Safety (DCS).

What We’re Looking For

We need a reliable, caring, and energetic nanny who can manage after‑school pick‑ups, activity drop‑offs, meal prep, and bedtime routines. This role is primarily part‑time after school, but there will be occasional overnight or week‑long stays (3‑4 times a year) when parents travel. Ideally, you’ll speak conversational Spanish and help our kids practice basic language skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Pick up the kids from school or meet them at home around 2:00PM; supervise and engage them in activities until bedtime.
• Assist with school assignments, read together, and encourage productive after‑school habits.
• Transport children to after‑school activities (karate, gymnastics, youth sports) using your own reliable vehicle (or a family‑provided vehicle, if arranged).
• Plan and prepare simple, healthy dinners. Tidy up kitchen and living spaces used during the day.
• Help the children practice conversational Spanish in a fun, age‑appropriate way, if possible.
• Stay with the kids for up to a week at a time when parents are traveling; follow any specific instructions for daily routines, school drop‑offs, and extracurricular activities (3‑4 times a year).

Requirements

• Previous nanny, childcare, or teaching/tutoring experience with elementary‑age children.
• Arizona DCS Clearance: willingness to undergo fingerprinting and background checks as required by the AZ foster care program.
• Reliable transportation and clean driving record; must be comfortable driving children to and from activities.
• Schedule flexibility: available Monday‑Friday, 2PM‑8/9PM, and able to handle 3‑4 overnight trips throughout the year with at least 30 days’ notice.
• CPR/First Aid Certification (preferred): formal training to ensure the safety and well‑being of the children.
• Non‑smoker.
• Comfort with pets (if applicable).
• Desire to teach or reinforce basic Spanish conversation skills (bilingual preference).
