Family's Introduction to Nanny
We have a 8 year old daughter, 6 year old son, and 2 yr old toddler. The older two kids are your typical high-energy, fun loving kids. Our daughter can be very timid and shy, but very outgoing and loving once she gets to know you. Our son is VERY high energy. We usually take them on a bike ride/run in the mornings, both kids are able to run/bike 1-2 miles before they get tired.
We love to explore. We do not watch TV often and prefer that the kids play outdoors as much as possible. Our kids are mud loving and free-spirited. We try to practice a minimalist, "low waste" lifestyle. We also eat mostly "whole foods" and do not like to buy things like chips and candy. Please do not apply to this position if you believe that spanking and yelling are effective discipline practices. Please do not apply if things like composting or using cloth napkins bother you.
Job Description
Our nanny will be treated like part of the family. We will see this person as a partner in supporting our children as they develop, grow and explore the world around them. We are an unschooling/world schooling family. We view and respect our children as autonomous individuals who are fully capable of practicing self-directed learning and intrinsically motivated to reach their full potential. We do not believe in coercive educational nor discipline practices. Google Akilah Richards/raising free people. This will give you a good picture of things that we value strongly as a family.
Key responsibilities include working with us to plan and coordinating activities. We will have a weekly planning meeting where we plan out each day of the week. Our kids are part of this planning process. The younger two don't participate much, but our oldest is usually very vocal about what she aspires to accomplish in the upcoming week.
Skills/Qualities that are important:
-***OK WITH ALLOWING CHILDREN TO BE INDEPENDENT. We do not want you to do every single thing for our children. The older two are fully capable of self-care (bathing, putting on shoes, etc.) and doing simple household chores (washing dishes, making bed, etc.). We ask kindly that you refrain from automatically doing thigs for them and just offer help when needed.***
