Full Time Live-in Nanny / Special Caregiver

Job Description

Calling all warm-hearted caregivers with childcare experience! A loving family just outside of DC is eagerly seeking a nurturing and energetic FULL-TIME LIVE-IN NANNY for their three adorable girls, aged 7, 4, and 1. The ideal candidate will strike the perfect balance between engaging playfulness and calming care.

The family highly values early childhood development and education, seeking someone who can provide stimulating activities for their children. Above all, they are looking for a nanny who adores their kids and can build a strong, loving connection with them. It is important to note that their oldest daughter has cerebral palsy, though intellectually and emotionally she is just like any other 7-year-old. Experience with physical or occupational therapy would be immensely beneficial, but the family is open to candidates who possess the willingness and capacity to learn. They hope to find someone who can mimic the therapist's techniques and help their daughter flourish despite her disability.

Their daughter is actively striving for independence, with her mobility being the sole area of concern. The assistance she needs is not merely palliative, centered on basic care, but rather therapeutic, aimed at fostering coordination, strength, control, and confidence to expand her capabilities. She is enthusiastic about handling tasks independently, yet occasionally requires physical support, primarily to maintain balance.
