Cambridge – Full Time Nanny/Household Manager (30-40 hours/week) – Flexible Start

Additional Information:

This is the sister position to this job posting. The family is open to both position configurations, but will only be hiring for one of them.

A multi-lingual family located in Cambridgeport is searching for a loving nanny/household manager to begin when the right match is found and are flexible to accommodate ASAP start dates. They have a 3 year old son who speaks 3 languages and will start a morning program in September, plus a newborn is expected in July.

The suggested base schedule for this position is M-Th 9:30am-6:30pm for a guarantee of 36 hours/week, though the family is able to consider different schedules between 30-40 hours/week, with 30-34 hours being ideal. If you are interested in a specific schedule, please inquire. Mornings will be spent focusing on household duties, including meal support, household laundry, ironing, keeping children’s rooms neat and tidy, organizing dressers and closets, separating out clothes that are too small, organizing/rotating toys, emptying the diaper pail, wiping down countertops, running/emptying the dishwasher as needed, swiffer/sweep the kitchen if there are crumbs, keeping track of needed household items, accepting grocery deliveries, and tossing expired items. Afternoons will be focused on childcare and include creating and implementing developmentally appropriate/curriculum based activities, spending much of the day outdoors to explore nature and the world around us, and bringing the toddler to activities.

This is a collaborative role with mom, who stays at home. Dad works from home in a separate office space and spends some time traveling. Each day, phones should be left at the door to support the family’s no-screen policy and candidates should promote and model a healthy, organic lifestyle. Those with joy for the day and an open-minded, kind way of moving about the world would be perfect matches for this family. Comfort with attachment parenting based on empathy and following Becky Kennedy’s “Good Inside” approach would also make for an excellent match. Familiarity with the Montessori philosophy and support for natural consequences and open-ended learning is a bonus.
