About the Family
We are a warm, professional family of five located in Ann Arbor, with three children: a newborn (transitioning to full-time care at approximately 4 months), a 3-year-old, and a 6-year-old. Our home is pet-friendly, scent-free, and rooted in attachment-based parenting.
We value consistency, reliability, and proactive communication. Our children are neurodivergent, curious, and thrive in a structured yet flexible environment. We always respond to cries and avoid punishment-based or "cry-it-out" techniques, prioritizing emotional attunement and connection.
We are seeking a long-term nanny who can become a steady, trusted presence in our children's lives and confidently support their emotional, developmental, and day-to-day needs.
Who You Are / What We Are Looking For
- Warm, Emotionally Attuned, and Responsive: You are grounded, patient, and confident navigating big feelings. You approach caregiving with empathy, connection, and respect.
- Experienced with Infants and Young Children: You have strong hands-on experience with newborns and toddlers and understand developmental stages and transitions.
- Structured Yet Playful: You bring consistency and routine while keeping things light and engaging. You enjoy planning sensory-friendly, age-appropriate activities and creative daily rhythms.
- Neurodivergence-Affirming: You are familiar with, or open to learning about, neurodivergent-informed caregiving and attachment-based parenting philosophies.
- Proactive and Organized: You manage the children's day thoughtfully, anticipate needs, and maintain tidy shared spaces without being asked.
- Calm Under Pressure: You remain emotionally regulated and confident during tantrums, transitions, and high-energy moments.
Key Responsibilities
Childcare & Development:
- Provide full-time care for infant (transitioning from newborn to approximately 4 months at start of care)
- Provide full-day care for infant and 3-year-old on Fridays
- Provide after-school care for all three children from 2:45 PM–5:00 PM daily
- Pick up 6-year-old from school or camp; assist with occasional daycare drop-off/pick-up for 3-year-old
- Plan and lead engaging, age-appropriate, and sensory-friendly activities
- Maintain flexible yet predictable routines
- Support emotional regulation and confidently navigate tantrums and high-energy moments
- Supervise swimming and ensure water safety
Daily Household Support (Child-Focused):
- Wash dishes and clean kitchen after children's meals and snacks
- Change diaper pails and maintain nursery organization
- Vacuum or sweep high-traffic child areas as needed
- Clean up after activities and reset play spaces daily
- Support children's laundry and restock diapers, wipes, and supplies
Family Support:
- Prepare backpacks, lunches, and necessary school or camp items
