Job description
We're looking for a fun, energetic, and extremely dependable nanny to care for two 2-year-old twin girls during their afternoon and evening routine. This is a temporary position for approximately 6–8 weeks, with the possibility of continuing with the family afterward.
Responsibilities
  • Provide safe, attentive, and engaging care for two 2-year-old girls.
  • Arrive at 2:00 PM and care for the girls through their afternoon and evening routine.

  • Keep the girls happy, safe, and engaged throughout the afternoon.
  • Communicate promptly and professionally with the parents and Lifetime of Love Nannies team.
  • Arrive on time and represent Lifetime of Love Nannies with professionalism and kindness.
Both parents will be home during the shift. Mom will be recovering from surgery and will temporarily be unable to lift or care for the girls, while Dad will be working from home. Because of this, extremely reliable and consistent care is essential for this position.

  • Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license.
  • Comfortable caring for two toddlers and following an established routine.
  • Extremely reliable and committed to the full duration of the temporary position.

Compensation
  • $18–$21 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications.
  • Incentives for accepting last-minute shifts.
  • Referral bonuses for bringing new families to Lifetime of Love Nannies.
  • Referral bonuses for introducing qualified nannies who join our team.
Potential for Continued Work
The family is open to continuing with the nanny after Mom's recovery period, if it is a good fit for everyone.
Additionally, Lifetime of Love Nannies would be happy to keep the nanny on our team and help connect them with additional childcare opportunities after this position ends if they are interested in continuing to work with us.
Why Join Lifetime of Love Nannies?
At Lifetime of Love Nannies, we believe exceptional childcare starts with exceptional caregivers. We value our nannies, support them every step of the way, and work hard to match them with families where they can build meaningful relationships and make a lasting impact in the lives of children.
