Job Description

A busy family in New Canaan, Connecticut, is looking for an enthusiastic, creative and personable Nanny to care for their two young children and support their ongoing learning and development.

The family is seeking someone with the energy and spirit of an outstanding summer camp counsellor: a nanny who can turn everyday moments into opportunities for discovery, encourage curiosity and make learning genuinely enjoyable. The ideal candidate will balance educational activities with imaginative play, outdoor adventures and meaningful interactions.

As one parent is frequently at home, the nanny will often focus on one child at a time, adapting activities and attention to each child’s individual needs. The parents place great importance on kindness, good manners and consideration for others, and would like these values encouraged naturally through everyday experiences.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident childcare professional who enjoys building strong relationships with children and working collaboratively with parents in a well-supported private household.

Responsibilities

  • Provide attentive, age-appropriate care for both children, prioritising their safety, comfort and wellbeing
  • Design engaging activities that combine early learning, creativity, exploration and play
  • Encourage curiosity and development through books, games, crafts, outdoor activities and age-appropriate challenges
  • Promote kindness, good manners, patience and consideration through positive role modelling
  • Adapt daily activities to suit each child’s interests, personality and developmental stage
  • Work in partnership with the parents to maintain consistency in routines, expectations and educational approaches
  • Communicate regularly with the family regarding the children’s activities, progress and general wellbeing
  • Provide occasional overnight childcare when required, with additional compensation
  • Accompany the family on approximately three trips per year, typically lasting no longer than one week
  • Maintain flexibility and a positive attitude when family schedules or childcare requirements change

Job Requirements

  • An experienced nanny with a naturally energetic, engaging and playful personality
  • Creative and resourceful, with the ability to make educational experiences enjoyable and memorable
  • Previous experience caring for two or more children and adapting to their individual needs
  • A genuine interest in child development, early education and learning through play
  • Warm, patient and emotionally attentive, with excellent interpersonal skills
  • A strong communicator who can establish a trusting and collaborative relationship with the parents
  • A positive role model who naturally demonstrates kindness, respect and good manners
  • Flexible and comfortable with occasional overnight assignments and family travel
  • Comfortable working in a home with several cats
  • Professional, dependable and capable of taking initiative while respecting the family’s parenting preferences

Working Conditions

  • Position: Full-time Nanny, live-out
  • Location: New Canaan, Connecticut, USA
  • Schedule: Monday to Friday, with two possible arrangements:
    • 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm
    • 8:00 am to 7:00 pm
  • Final working hours to be agreed with the family
  • Occasional overnight childcare, compensated separately
  • Family travel approximately three times per year, generally for up to one week per trip
  • No housekeeping responsibilities; a full-time housekeeper manages the household
  • Competitive benefits package

Salary

The salary starts at $120,000 per year, depending on experience, with additional benefits. The final package will reflect the candidate’s qualifications and suitability for the role.
