East Valley nannies, this one is for you!

The Nanny Joynt is partnering with a wonderful family in Gilbert looking for an experienced, full-time career nanny to care for their three children, ages 3 months, 3 years, and 5 years. The primary focus will be their infant daughter and three-year-old, who attends preschool three mornings per week. Their oldest is in full-day kindergarten, so his care will primarily involve morning routines, school transportation, and school breaks.

This family knows the value of a great nanny! They’ve had just two nannies since becoming parents, including one who stayed with them for five years. With their current nanny relocating, they’re hoping to find another experienced professional who will become part of their family for years to come. 

About the Family

The Children

Infant Daughter, 3 Months Old

• Sweet, calm, and easygoing! She takes bottles of breast milk well and loves tummy time.
• The family is working toward a consistent nap schedule and plans to begin sleep training around 5 months. They would love a nanny who can help support these transitions.

Daughter, Just Turned 3

• A sweet and spirited three-year-old who loves preschool, asks lots of questions, and is becoming more independent every day.
• Attends preschool Tuesday through Thursday, approximately 8:30 AM–12:30 PM. She’s home all day Monday and Friday and spends afternoons with the nanny after preschool.

Son, 5 Years Old (Turning 6 in January)

• A happy, imaginative little boy who loves learning, building with blocks, playing with trains and dinosaurs, and exploring new topics.
• Attends full-day kindergarten Monday through Friday, approximately 8:30 AM–2:30 PM. He will also be home during school breaks and portions of the summer.

The Parents

Both parents work East Coast hours with hybrid schedules. They typically begin working around 7:00 AM and may be home for part of the morning before heading into the office.

They are experienced nanny employers who appreciate having someone they can trust to manage the children’s day independently. They value a warm, collaborative relationship and see their nanny as an important part of raising their children. 

The Pets

The family has a mellow, 15-year-old Chihuahua-Pug mix who weighs approximately 10 pounds. She spends most of her day sleeping and only needs to be let in and out occasionally.

The Ideal Candidate

• Experienced with infants and multiple children: Confident caring for a young baby while also managing an active three-year-old, including feeding schedules, naps, school runs, and daily transitions.
• Strong knowledge of early childhood development: Understands infant milestones and knows how to incorporate learning into everyday activities, from tummy time and sensory play to letters, numbers, reading, and crafts.
• Takes initiative: Doesn’t need parents to plan the day or suggest activities. Enjoys getting on the floor, engaging with the children, and finding ways to keep them learning and active.
• Patient and consistent: Comfortable navigating typical three-year-old behavior, setting boundaries, explaining expectations, and helping children work through big emotions.
• Extremely reliable: Has a history of dependable, long-term employment and understands the importance of being on time, especially with two parents working East Coast hours.
• Communicative and professional: Comfortable providing a quick end-of-day recap, sharing occasional photos, and working independently while parents may be home.
• Bonus: Spanish-speaking, as the older children attend a Spanish immersion school.

What Makes This Role Special

• 40 guaranteed hours per week with competitive pay and benefits
• A great opportunity to work closely with an infant and toddler while also building a relationship with their older sibling
• Parents who trust their nanny’s judgment and appreciate someone who takes initiative

• A family vehicle provided for school transportation and outings
• Access to The Nanny Joynt’s monthly curriculum for developmental activities and inspiration
• Paid overlap with the current nanny for a smooth transition
