Nanny in Maryland, United States, Job ID J23070


A full time live in overseas nanny is needed in the Maryland, United States area to help a family in looking after their two school aged children. The family is looking for someone particularly bright, capable and intellectually engaging, who genuinely enjoys working with children. Ideally, the candidate will have a teaching background or come from a different professional field, and have chosen to work with children because of a genuine interest in their learning and development.

A gentle and positive approach is essential, encouraging good manners, positive behaviour, respect and independence while providing clear and consistent boundaries. An important benefit of this position is the opportunity to focus on one child at a time, allowing the nanny to give each child individual attention and tailor activities and learning to their particular needs and interests. The family also speaks English, Spanish and Italian at home, and they are seeking an educated role model who will encourage curiosity, foster independence and actively support the children in learning Italian.

They already employ a housekeeper and an additional nanny, so duties are strictly focused on cleaning up after the children and keeping their areas tidy. Both parents are very busy professionals and require someone bright, flexible, proactive and able to take initiative. They also need someone who can drive an automatic car, which the family will provide.

A valid first aid qualification is needed for this position.

Working hours: Monday to Friday, 6:45 AM to 5:30 PM, with a break while the children are at school (drop-off 9:00 AM or 9:30 AM, pick-up around 2:30 PM)

Accommodation: Large ensuite bedroom with access to a separate kitchen and private entrance

Duties include:

• making sure the children are up early in the morning,
• preparing healthy breakfast and snacks,
• washing and dressing them,
• helping with homework,
• doing after-school activities with the children,
• preparing recreational activities that will boost the children’s physical and mental development,
• messy play with the children,
• maintaining a clean and tidy environment for the children,
