Nanny

Overview

A lively and affectionate family residing in Aspen, CO, is in search of a full-time, live-out nanny to care for their three children aged 7, 5, and 3. The children possess a curious and kind nature, with vivid imaginations and a profound sense of awe about the world. They desire an individual with a warm and cheerful personality who possesses a high level of energy and enthusiasm to interact and be active with the children. Someone who is genuinely excited to play with the children (and not just watch them play) will be the right fit for this role.

The ideal candidate will frequently engage in reading sessions, create stimulating activities, and take the children on excursions. It is essential to spend ample time outdoors and engage in physical activities such as sports, swimming, skiing, hiking, etc. Hence, applicants must have prior experience and a genuine fondness for working with young children and the outdoors. The cleints are not looking for someone who is merely an "observer" in the children's lives. Be active and engaged!
