Description: A warm, active family in Clayton, MO, is seeking a full-time nanny to care for their three children: a 9-year-old girl, 7-year-old boy, and 5-year-old boy.

As a family, they enjoy spending time outdoors, playing sports, swimming, dining out, movie nights, and traveling together. They value hard work, kindness, strong family connections, and making the most out of each day.

The family is looking for a flexible, dependable caregiver who can adapt to their ever-changing after-school and weekend schedules. They hope to find someone long-term who will grow alongside their family and truly become a valued part of their lives.

Description: A warm, collaborative family in Springfield, IL, is seeking a full-time nanny for their 2-year-old, along with newborn support after welcoming a new baby in October. The family values calm communication, emotional steadiness, flexibility, professionalism, and a peaceful home environment with a balanced daily rhythm.

The primary focus of the role will be attentive, loving, developmentally appropriate toddler care that supports both engagement and independent play. This is not a constant entertainment-focused position; the family values a calm, grounded approach that respects the natural flow of the day and encourages growing independence.

The mother will be home full-time with the newborn initially, though the nanny will provide regular collaborative newborn support throughout the day as needed. This may include helping with bathing, holding the baby while Mom takes a break or spends one-on-one time with the toddler, and assisting with simple caregiving tasks as part of the daily household rhythm.

During quieter periods such as naps or independent play, the nanny will also assist with light household support related to maintaining an organized and functional home environment. Responsibilities may include kitchen cleanup, family laundry, changing bedding, tidying shared/common areas, snack and simple meal preparation, occasional errands, and limited pet care, as workflow and daily needs allow. The role also includes occasional family travel support as discussed and planned.

While the initial role will focus primarily on toddler care alongside collaborative newborn support, the position may gradually transition to more independent care for both children over time as the children grow and the mother transitions toward a more work-focused schedule from home.

Description: A family of seven (soon to be eight) located in Sullivan, MO is seeking a full-time nanny to primarily care for their 15-month-old and newborn (due in November). Their four older children (ages 13, 11, 9, and 7) are in the home part-time and require minimal hands-on care.

They are a busy, active household that values structure throughout the week—keeping the children on track with homework, chores, extracurricular activities, and daily routines.
