About the Family

A warm and welcoming family in Northwest Washington, D.C. is seeking a nurturing, attentive, and reliable nanny to care for their sweet 4.5-month-old daughter. Their baby girl is alert, strong, smiley, and beginning to become more aware of the world around her. She is currently working on sleep training and nap routines, enjoys toys and stimulation, and sleeps well overnight. She is exclusively breastfed at the moment, though the family is beginning to introduce a bottle and anticipates transitioning to a hybrid feeding approach once the nanny begins.

Mom works from home while Dad works from an office, and the family values a calm, collaborative, and communicative relationship with their nanny. They are hoping to find someone who brings a warm and loving presence into the home and who genuinely enjoys supporting infants through important early developmental stages. The ideal candidate is patient, engaged, and confident in caring for young infants while partnering closely with parents in a respectful and supportive manner.

About the Role

This role is centered around providing attentive, developmentally appropriate care for the family’s infant daughter throughout the workweek. Responsibilities include supporting feeding and nap routines, engaging the baby in age-appropriate developmental activities, and creating a calm and nurturing environment that encourages healthy growth and exploration.

The nanny will also assist with child-related household tasks to help the home run smoothly. Responsibilities include bottle cleaning and sanitization, maintaining organization of child-related spaces, and preparing meals for the child once solids are introduced. The family appreciates someone who is proactive, thoughtful, and happy to jump in where needed while always maintaining a child-focused approach.

They are seeking a nanny who is dependable, patient, warm, and highly attentive. Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset are important, as Mom will be working from home. Occasional weekend or date night support would be appreciated but is not required.
