About the Position
Peak Nanny Agency is working with a warm, upbeat family in Boulder seeking an exceptional Nanny / Family Assistant to become a trusted and lasting part of their household.
At its heart, this is a nanny position first. The family's 6-year-old son is their top priority, and they are looking for someone who genuinely loves connecting with children and brings warmth, empathy, emotional intelligence, and positive energy into his life.
Because he attends school Monday through Friday, the family can offer a full 40-hour guaranteed workweek by incorporating family assistant and household management responsibilities during school hours. This creates a unique opportunity for someone who loves working closely with a child but also enjoys taking ownership of the behind-the-scenes details that help a busy household run beautifully.
The family travels frequently and is especially interested in someone excited to become part of their lifestyle. The most significant travel opportunity will be summer 2027 in Europe, primarily Paris from June through August. During the remainder of the year, the family can commit to no more than approximately one travel week per month, with additional travel opportunities potentially offered but not required.
About the Child
The family's 6-year-old son is an exceptionally warm, social, curious, and energetic little boy who connects easily with the people around him. He is artistic, imaginative, affectionate, and deeply attached to his friends, family, caregivers, and beloved miniature dachshund.
He loves being outdoors, swimming, making art, playing games — including inventing his own — watching movies, cuddling, imaginative play, and pretending to be a superhero. At the moment, his future career aspirations include becoming both a paleontologist and a singer!
He is also incredibly thoughtful toward others. He is the type of child who wants to greet each classmate individually in the morning and is quick to comfort a friend who is having a difficult moment.
He generally requires very little redirection and responds extremely well to calm, respectful verbal communication. If he becomes overwhelmed, he may choose to take a little space to process his feelings before rejoining the family. The family values caregivers who can respect those moments, remain emotionally steady, and provide reassurance without escalating the situation.
ARFID / Mealtime Support
The child has ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and currently works with an occupational therapist on structured eating therapy.
The nanny will play an important role in reinforcing his therapist's approach during everyday meals and routines. The family is looking for someone patient, consistent, compassionate, and comfortable collaborating with his occupational therapist and parents. Previous experience with ARFID is welcomed but is not necessarily required for an otherwise exceptional candidate who is eager to learn.
Nanny Responsibilities
When the child is in the nanny's care, responsibilities will center entirely around creating a safe, engaging, loving, and developmentally supportive environment.
Responsibilities may include:
School transportation and activity transportation
Planning engaging activities, outings, playdates, and adventures
Outdoor play, swimming, arts and crafts, games, imaginative play, and other child-led activities
Supporting friendships and the family's active social calendar
Meal and snack preparation
Reinforcing his occupational therapist's structured approach to eating and ARFID support
Maintaining child-related spaces and belongings
Helping prepare for school, activities, outings, and travel
Supporting his social-emotional development through calm, respectful communication
Traveling domestically and internationally with the family
Providing attentive, safety-focused care while allowing him plenty of room to explore his interests and independence
The parents view true discipline as their responsibility. For normal day-to-day boundaries, they prefer calm communication, emotional awareness, and giving their son appropriate space to regulate when needed.
Family Assistant / Household Management Responsibilities
During school hours and other periods when childcare is not needed, the nanny will transition into a family assistant role.
The family is less concerned with a candidate having performed every household task before and more interested in finding someone with an exceptional work ethic, initiative, organization, and follow-through.
Responsibilities will include a combination of consistent recurring duties and an evolving household to-do list, such as:
Family laundry
Light housekeeping and household upkeep
Household organization
Running errands
Helping manage household supplies
Preparing the home and family for travel
Unpacking and reorganizing following trips
Assisting with family logistics and projects
Proactively identifying tasks that need attention
Helping maintain a calm, organized, smoothly functioning household
This is an excellent fit for someone who notices what needs to be done and takes ownership rather than waiting to be given a detailed task list.
A Very Important Four-Legged Family Member
The family also has a 10-pound miniature dachshund who is incredibly sweet, playful, and very attached to his people.
He is a rescue and has made significant progress with housetraining after working with a live-in trainer, although he can still struggle occasionally — particularly during bad weather.
The nanny/family assistant should be genuinely comfortable with dogs and willing to help maintain his established routine, including:
Four walks/outdoor breaks per day
Feeding twice daily
Reinforcing his established training and schedule
Cleaning up the occasional accident when necessary
The Ideal Candidate
Above everything else, the family is looking for someone warm, empathetic, emotionally intelligent, and genuinely loving toward children.
Their ideal nanny connects naturally with their son and can read what he needs in the moment. They are looking for someone calm, positive, upbeat, and playful — someone who is happy to be silly, play games, get outside, make art, swim, and participate in his world while remaining grounded and unflappable when challenges arise.
Professionally, this person will be:
Highly proactive and self-directed
Reliable and consistent
An excellent communicator
Organized and detail-oriented
Hardworking with exceptional follow-through
Comfortable taking ownership of responsibilities
Flexible and adaptable
Comfortable working independently
Excited about frequent travel
Comfortable balancing childcare and family assistant responsibilities
Interested in professional growth and continuing education
Able to maintain warmth and closeness while respecting professional boundaries and expectations
The family strongly prefers candidates with formal nanny, private service, household management, or hospitality training.
However, they are also open to an exceptional experienced nanny who does not yet have formal training but is enthusiastic about pursuing it. For the right candidate, the family is willing to invest financially in professional nanny and/or hospitality training in connection with a longer-term commitment.
Relocation candidates are welcome to apply, particularly those with glowing professional recommendations and formal nanny, private service, or hospitality experience.
About the Family
This is a laid-back, upbeat and loving family that places tremendous value on connection, education, travel, friendships, health, and meaningful experiences.
Both parents are retired from successful careers in technology, although one parent takes on consulting work from a home office.
They prioritize their son's social-emotional stability, relationships, curiosity, and ability to discover the things he genuinely loves. While education is important to them, they are less focused on pushing advanced academics and more interested in helping him develop into a happy, secure, curious, well-rounded person.
Their lifestyle is active and social. They frequently host playdates and small gatherings, prioritize friendships and community, stay busy with activities, and travel extensively during school breaks and throughout the year. Recent family travels have included ski trips, visits with friends and extended family, Costa Rica, Cabo, and extended stays in France.
Although the parents may be home at times, they do not anticipate significant hands-on parental involvement while the nanny is working unless requested or necessary due to something such as an illness or injury. Cameras are present in the home and will be fully disclosed.
The family will require the same vaccinations currently required by Boulder Valley School District.
Summers in Paris + Travel
For a candidate who loves travel, this is an especially unique opportunity.
The family maintains a spacious residence in Paris overlooking the Eiffel Tower and plans to spend June through August 2027 in Europe. Their nanny/family assistant would accompany them and live with the family during this period.
Travel is an important part of this family's life, so they hope to find someone who views traveling together as an exciting part of the position rather than simply an obligation.
Outside of the summer, the family can commit to a maximum of approximately one required travel week per month. Additional trips may arise, but additional travel hours/opportunities can be offered without necessarily being required.
The Relationship They're Hoping to Build
The family is ultimately looking for much more than someone who simply clocks in, completes a list, and leaves.
They hope to build a close, warm relationship with someone who becomes a trusted and loving presence in their son's life and a valued extension of their family. They want their nanny to feel included, appreciated, supported, and celebrated as a whole person.
At the same time, they place a high value on professionalism. Clear expectations, mutual respect, strong communication, initiative, and consistently excellent performance are important to them. They want someone whose presence creates more stability, organization, and happiness within the household.
In return, they are excited to invest in the right person's career through education, formal training, performance incentives, retention bonuses, extensive travel experiences, and the opportunity to build a truly meaningful long-term relationship with their family.
For a warm, ambitious, highly capable nanny who loves children, enjoys taking ownership of a household, and dreams of combining professional childcare with international travel and continued career development, this is an incredibly special opportunity.
