*The Specifics

A warm, outgoing family in Shaker Heights is looking for a playful, engaging nanny to join their family as they welcome their second child. Their current nanny has been with them for 3.5 years and is incredibly loved, so they are hoping to find someone who values building that same kind of genuine, lasting relationship with their children.

The family is expecting their new baby girl in September, and Mom will be home on maternity leave before potentially returning to work part-time in the future. G (4 years) attends preschool Monday through Friday from 8:30am-12:00pm and enjoys ballet, art classes, imaginative play, and plenty of one-on-one attention. The nanny will help with school transportation, activities, and caring for G (4 years), while also providing loving care for the new baby and helping establish a consistent nap and daily routine. During school breaks and vacations, the nanny will take on a larger childcare role with both children.

This family loves getting out and about and has memberships to places like the zoo, science center, and pool, so they are looking for someone who enjoys planning fun outings and creating memorable days. They would love a nanny who comes into each day with a plan - whether that means a craft, an adventure, a baking project, or an afternoon of imaginative play.

Creativity is a huge bonus, and someone who loves making cupcakes, doing crafts, playing pretend, or finding new ways to entertain children will fit right in. The most important part of the role is building a strong relationship with the children through genuine interaction, play, patience, and warmth. The ideal nanny is proactive and knows how to balance fun and freedom with kind, consistent boundaries.

When the children are happy and cared for, they'd love help with family-support tasks such as children's laundry, meal prep, washing and cutting fruit, emptying the dishwasher, and occasional errands or grocery help. The family appreciates someone who notices what needs to be done and takes initiative rather than waiting to be given a list. Safety and communication are extremely important, and they value a nanny who will openly communicate about the children's days and work collaboratively with the parents to maintain consistency.

The family is open-minded, progressive, and values kindness, inclusion, and respect, so they are looking for someone who shares those values. They also have a very sweet 11-year-old lab mix who may occasionally need to be let outside or fed, but pet care is not a primary responsibility.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a nanny who wants to become a true part of a family, enjoy lots of adventures with the children, and potentially travel domestically or internationally with them.

The family is hoping to find someone who is outgoing, creative, nurturing, dependable, proactive, and genuinely loves to play. They are looking for someone who will bring energy and joy into the home while also providing the consistency and care their children need. With the right fit, this could be a special opportunity to grow alongside a wonderful family for years to come.
