Family and Household Dynamics

A peek behind the front door...

Children's Ages: Care will be for three busy, sporty children ages 11, 10 and 6 years old.
About the Children:
  • The family's oldest child is a high-energy young man who loves football and basketball, their middle child - a sweet, active 10 year old girl - loves lacrosse and music, and the baby of the family is a busy, sporty little boy who recently turned 6 years old.
  • The children are all in school, full-time.
  • The two oldest see a local tutor 1-2x per week. Additionally, the ideal nanny will provide daily homework support for all three children.
About the Family:
  • The family recently moved to Aspen from sunny California. They are enjoying their new family home and settling into a routine here in Colorado.
  • Mom is home full-time but busy throughout the day. Dad works from home full-time, but travels regularly for work (25% of the time).
About the Pets:
  • This family has one indoor cat and a mini Bernedoodle.
Additional Notes:
  • This generous family successfully employed several long-term nannies (3-5+ years) in California. Mom believes their close bond is due to open lines of communication, mutual respect, and the ability to grow with their busy family.
  • They are looking forward to welcoming a new nanny into their lives - someone who will be a part of their parenting team - ideally, for years to come.

Key Responsibilities

A day in the life...

Standard Duties:
  • All standard nanny duties are required in this position, including preparing the children's snacks and meals, doing the children's laundry, keeping common areas neat and tidy, loading/emptying the dishwasher, and cleaning up after the children. Mom may request additional support with errands and grocery shopping.
  • The family also needs support transporting the children to and from school, activities and practices. A nanny car will be provided for driving on the job.
Travel Requirements:
  • Family travels regularly during school holidays, both domestically and abroad (Canada, Mexico etc). Typical travel time is approximately four weeks per year, and notice will be provided.
  • When the nanny travels with the family they will have their own accommodations (private room), will be provided a daily travel stipend, and compensated for any additional hours worked (over 40 hours/week).

Desired Skills and Abilities

The ideal candidate for this position will possess the following qualifications…

  • All candidates must have 5+ years of verifiable childcare experience, ideally with school age children, to be considered for this role. This could be an ideal job for an experienced nanny or teacher!
  • The family prefers candidates who have a 4-year college degree, although they are open for exceptional individuals.
  • All candidates must be travel-ready and love animals!
  • All candidates must have strong communication skills and enjoy working together with mom (home but busy). Additionally, they'll be playful and active with the children (skiing, throwing a football, playing games etc), outgoing and have a positive personality, timely and responsible.
  • Last but not least, this position will require someone who is flexible, forward-thinking and proactive: if you see a need, help out. For example, the ideal nanny would know that the turn around time between school and sports practice is stressful, and collect/pack the children's gear in advance. If the family is running low on snacks, the perfect nanny would offer to go to the store and replenish their supply. If you're a great nanny, you know!
