Join a Warm, Outdoor-Loving Family Looking for a Long-Term Nanny
A kind, down-to-earth family near Cherry Creek Reservoir is searching for an experienced, nurturing nanny to become an important part of their family. They have two sweet, energetic toddler boys (ages 4 and 2) who love spending time outdoors, exploring, playing together, and learning through hands-on experiences.
The family is looking for someone who genuinely enjoys the toddler years and understands that young children thrive when they feel seen, respected, and supported. They value open communication, teamwork, and creating a positive environment where everyone feels comfortable.
Both parents work from home in dedicated home offices, allowing the nanny to take ownership of the children's day while still having support nearby if needed.
About the Children
Their two boys are active, curious, and happiest when they're outside exploring parks, running around the backyard, or engaging in imaginative play. They enjoy helping with everyday activities like cooking and tidying up, and their parents encourage learning through real-life experiences.
The 4 year old is in school from 8am - 1pm. The family follows a relaxed daily rhythm that typically includes outdoor play in the morning followed by nap time around noon. They appreciate a nanny who can build upon this routine while creating fun, engaging opportunities for learning and adventure.
The family also has a friendly senior dog who generally stays with mom throughout the day and does not require nanny responsibilities.
