A loving family newly arrived in FoxHall/Phillips Park area of Washington, DC, seeks an exceptional ROTA nanny.  The likely schedule will be 7 days on/off, with flexibility preferred for when the family travel.  The family travel frequently, so please be open to regular domestic and international trips.

In this position, you will support two bright and kind children: a 6-year-old girl who is independent and loves books, and a curious, easygoing 3-year-old boy. Duties will include:

• Supporting the health, well-being, and happiness of the two gorgeous children
• Some proxy parenting (including managing the lives and schedules of the children), as the parents have demanding careers that may involve some travel, last minute plans and occasional entertaining.
• Helping with the morning and evening routines
• General nursery duties including keeping the children's areas clean, tidy and organised
• School drop-offs and pick-ups
• Accompanying the children to activities, play-dates, appointments and outings
• Coordinating schedules for naps and meals, activities, and travel
• Keeping on top of household tasks and errands when the children are at school (the 3-yr-old will be going 3 half days initially, with a view to building up to full-time in the near future)
• Laundry and ironing relating to the children
• Creating a positive and engaging environment that fosters independence, promotes good manners and respectful boundaries, and instils values of responsibility
• Some vegetarian cooking for the children, and preparation of snacks and lunchboxes when required
• Support with homework and extra-curricular activities

• Have an understanding of behavioural milestones and development

• Be happy to pitch-in and support the family wherever needed
• Have excellent communication skills and be collaborative in approach

• Have a valid US passport, work authorisation or green card and be able to travel with the family
