Nanny Position Available

We have a precious 22 month old boy who is hearing impaired and is learning to hear and speak with the help of cochlear implants. He has an incredible spirit and is truly a joy to be around. We are looking for a full-time nanny who will be a part of our family and partner with us to give him the best opportunities possible. Our ideal nanny will be a fun, responsible, and outgoing person who is comfortable talking a lot to our son, reading, and engaging him with creative and developmental goals in mind.

The position is M-F 7:45am-5:00pm (his nap time is 3+ hours) at our home in North Dallas (Marsh, between Belt Line and 635). CPR knowledge is a plus, background and reference check required, native English speaking is a must, and we prefer that our nanny does not bring their own children. Sign language is not required since we use all verbal with him now. He will be in preschool 2 days a week starting in the fall, so we want you to be comfortable with transporting him to and from preschool. This is a long-term position, 18 months minimum and up to 5 years (please only respond if the minimum commitment meets your needs). If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please send resume/job history, phone #, photo, and references...we look forward to speaking with you! Compensation is weekly salary plus benefits. Thanks so much and have a wonderful weekend!
