A warm, laid-back family in Centennial is seeking a caring, calm, dependable, and attentive nanny to provide loving care for their 15-week-old baby.
The family had previous childcare arrangements in place that unexpectedly fell through, so they are hoping to find the right nanny as soon as possible. They are looking for someone who genuinely loves the infant stage and is excited to become a trusted, consistent part of their family.
Both parents work from home, but they are specifically looking for a nanny who is confident, capable, and empowered to take ownership of the baby's day without requiring parent involvement. The home offers a separate downstairs space for the nanny and baby, allowing the nanny to establish their own rhythm and spend the day focused on providing attentive, engaging care.
The family describes themselves as laid-back and easygoing in nature, while also being intentional when it comes to their child's care. They value a nanny who will respect established expectations, communicate openly, and work collaboratively with them as their baby grows.
About the Position
The nanny's primary responsibility will always be the baby's safety, well-being, development, and happiness. The family wants their nanny to be actively engaged throughout the day and to help create a nurturing environment where their child can thrive.
They would love someone who enjoys:
Providing warm, responsive, and attentive infant care
Creating age-appropriate developmental activities
Reading books, singing songs, and engaging in interactive play
Incorporating tummy time, floor play, and activities that support developmental milestones
Taking the baby on walks and approved age-appropriate outings
Helping establish and maintain healthy daily rhythms as the baby grows
Observing feeding, sleeping, diapering, and developmental cues
Offering thoughtful input regarding routines, activities, and development
Maintaining a screen-free environment while the baby is awake
Communicating openly with the parents regarding the baby's day, needs, milestones, and anything out of the ordinary
The family welcomes their nanny's input and understands that routines will naturally evolve as their baby grows.
Child-Related Responsibilities
When the baby's immediate needs have been met, responsibilities will include reasonable child-related household tasks, such as:
Washing and cleaning bottles, milk containers, bibs, cups, and feeding supplies
Age-appropriate food preparation and cleanup as solids are introduced
Tidying the nursery and play areas
Resetting spaces used throughout the nanny's day
Cleaning and sanitizing toys as needed
Keeping the kitchen/highchair tidy following the child's meals
Monitoring diapers, wipes, food, and other childcare supplies and letting the parents know when something is running low
This is not a general housekeeping position. Childcare comes first, and household responsibilities are limited to tasks directly related to the child.
The Ideal Nanny
The ideal candidate is someone who is:
Caring, calm, and attentive
Experienced and genuinely comfortable caring for young infants
Warm and nurturing while also confident in their abilities
Dependable, punctual, and consistent
Safety-conscious and attentive to detail
Proactive and able to independently manage the baby's day
Comfortable working in a home where parents work remotely
Respectful of the family's parenting preferences and expectations
A strong and proactive communicator
Interested in infant development and age-appropriate engagement
Comfortable growing with the child as routines, activities, and developmental needs change
Looking for a long-term relationship with a family rather than simply a short-term position
The family wants to be able to step into their workday knowing their baby is in excellent hands. While the parents are nearby, the nanny should be comfortable taking the lead during working hours rather than relying on the parents for day-to-day direction or assistance.

Friday: 9:00 AM–1:00 PM
32 guaranteed hours per week
Rate: $30/hour

Candidates should:
Have professional infant/childcare experience
Maintain current Infant/Child CPR & First Aid certification

Be comfortable following a screen-free approach during childcare hours
Be willing to maintain the family's privacy and confidentiality
Prioritize excellent communication, reliability, safety, and professionalism
The Family's Philosophy
This family is hoping to find much more than someone who simply supervises their baby. They want a nanny who will love, nurture, engage, and actively support their child's development while becoming someone both parents can completely trust.
They value open communication and want their nanny to feel confident bringing ideas, observations, and suggestions to them. At the same time, once expectations and routines have been established, they want their nanny to feel empowered to take ownership of the day.
For a nanny who loves infants, values consistency, and enjoys building a close, trusting relationship with a family, this could be a wonderful long-term fit.
