Hello! We are moving from the South End to Needham (near Babson) at the end of the summer and are looking for a full-time nanny to care for our currently 6-month old daughter, and 3 year old son (he will be at school 5 mornings a week), starting the week of September 2nd. We are hoping to find someone to join our family for a long-term position, and to truly become part of our family!
We're looking for someone warm, loving, active, engaging, and has experience caring for young children. Ideally they will have been with their current family for a few years.
Our ideal nanny:
- Has knowledge of early childhood development and comes up with age-appropriate activities
- Someone who loves to play, read and engage with children; they will not use their phones unnecessarily while children are under their care
- Enjoys cooking healthy meals for children, and is familiar with introducing new foods to babies
- Is neat and tidy, and keeps the children's areas clean, including the kitchen after meals
- Manages the children's laundry, and occasionally willing to help fold other household laundry if need be during nap times
- Is CPR and First Aid certified, and a non-smoker
- Has a safe car to drive children to local activities, and a clean driving record
- Is comfortable with dogs; we have a very sweet 30lb dog
- We would love if they speak French or Spanish, but not a necessity
- Bonus if they are willing to stay at our house overnight with the kids here and there if need-be!
Schedule is flexible, but we are generally looking for about 40-45 hours a week with the option to add more hours if needed. Approx. 8am to 5:30pm 4 days a week, and 8am-1pm Fridays.
Compensation commensurate with rates in the area for the care of 1 child in the morning and 2 in the afternoons. 4+ weeks of paid vacation, holidays and sick leave.
Please reach out to me if you know of anyone who fits these criteria. Thank you in advance!

Professional Nanny, Postpartum Doula and Pediatric Sleep Consultant available late August/early September for full-time nanny position
Hi Families!
I have over 16 years of professional nanny experience and have been working with kids professionally for 22 years. I began babysitting when I was 10 years old. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology/Sociology and an Associate’s degree in Deaf Studies. I am proficient in American Sign Language and have extensive experience (11 years) working with kids and adults with moderate and severe disabilities. I am passionate about child development and have knowledge on many topics (safe sleep, car seat safety, developmental milestones, baby led weaning, etc.) that I use daily in my work as a nanny.
I am looking for a long-term family (or families) to grow with, beginning in late August, early September. I am open to one family or a nanny share with two families. I am having a baby in July and am looking to bring my son with me beginning in October or November when he will be 3-4 months old, until then I will be caring for your child/children on my own. I am looking to care for a child or children around the same age so the babies can grow together. I am very comfortable caring for 2-3 children at one time and have cared for twins, triplets and a nanny share with three babies as well as siblings of different ages. In 2022-2023, I brought my older son to work with me where I cared for two other babies doing a nanny share. I really enjoyed caring for three babies at once. My son came with me to another family for one year following the share also.
I’m located in Malden and I’m willing travel within 20 miles.
