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. Outside of their structured schedule, they deeply enjoy spending quality time together on their 50-acre farm, whether that’s playing catch in the field, riding four-wheelers, fishing in the pond, hosting bonfires, or caring for their animals, including horses.

This family places a strong emphasis on connection, communication, and emotional awareness. They value raising children who are self-aware, independent, and capable, and they foster open dialogue around expectations, decisions, and personal growth. The family unit is central to their values, and they strive to create an environment where each member feels heard and respected.

Ideal Candidate: Their ideal nanny is someone who can seamlessly blend into the family dynamic—reliable, trustworthy, and naturally proactive. They are seeking a nanny who is calm, emotionally steady, and confident, yet approachable and team-oriented.

This individual should be comfortable operating in a lively, “organized chaos” environment while maintaining a grounded and composed presence, especially in high-demand moments. The right candidate will be playful and engaging with the children while also supporting their growth and development.

The family is looking for someone who respects household guidelines, follows direction well, and can balance structure with flexibility—not overly rigid, but consistent and dependable. They value a nanny who is self-aware, communicates openly, takes accountability when needed, and is fully present and intentional in their role.
