About the Family
This warm, welcoming family of four in Golden is looking for a long-term nanny who wants to feel like part of the family. Their children—a 5-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy—are fun-loving, bright, and full of energy. They adore reading, crafts, games, and outings to the park or zoo. Every caregiver they’ve ever had calls them “the easiest kids!”
Mom is a tech startup COO and dad works from home as a consultant/writer (with occasional travel). They’ve had both au pairs and a nanny who stayed over 2 years, so they know what makes a great nanny/family partnership. They want someone who feels appreciated, respected, and proud to be a core part of keeping their home running smoothly.
Who They’re Looking For
The family’s ideal nanny is:
Engaged and Energetic: You love being active and creative with kids—whether that’s bike rides, park play, or reading stacks of books.
Reliable and Responsible: The family relies on you to help their household run smoothly. Reliability, on-time arrivals, and good communication are essential.
Flexible and Adaptable: Their schedule shifts between school year and summer, and they need someone who can flex between afternoons, evenings, full days, and occasional overnights or travel.
Helpful Around the Home: Light chores like folding laundry, sweeping under the table, doing dishes, and simple meal prep make a big difference.
Loving and Family-Oriented: You don’t just see this as a “job”—you love being with kids, and you’ll feel like part of the family.
Spanish-speaking is a plus but not required.
Duties & Responsibilities
School pickups (M–TH, ~3:20 pm; 2:00 pm Fridays) and occasional morning drop-offs.
Afternoon/evening care during the school year, with at least one regular date night per week (Saturdays preferred, but can be flexible depending on candidates availability).
Full-day care during summers, school holidays, and sick days.
Plan and engage in enriching, active activities and outings.
Light household tasks (children’s laundry, dishes, sweeping, meal prep).
Provide safe, loving, and developmentally supportive care.
Occasional overnights or travel (with advance notice).
Requirements
At least 2 years of professional childcare experience (nanny, teacher, or similar).
Energetic, reliable, and proactive approach to childcare.
Valid driver’s license, reliable vehicle, and insurance (mileage reimbursed).
Willingness to get annual flu shot and stay up-to-date on vaccines.
Ability to commit for at least 1 year.
Why This Job?
This is more than a nanny job—it’s a chance to join a family that values and respects their caregivers. They’ve built lasting friendships with every nanny and au pair they’ve had, and they want their next nanny to feel the same way: appreciated, trusted, and proud to be part of a warm, happy household.
If you’re looking for a position where you’ll feel like family, enjoy flexibility, and have fun with two truly sweet kids, this could be the perfect fit.
