What are summer nannies?

Summer nannies are childcare professionals who provide care for children during the summer months, often when school is out and parents need additional support. They may work full-time or part-time, and their responsibilities can include supervising children, organizing activities, preparing meals, and sometimes assisting with learning or tutoring. Summer nannies are typically hired for their experience, reliability, and ability to engage children in safe and fun ways. Many families seek summer nannies to ensure their children are well-cared for and active during the summer break.

What are some common challenges faced by summer nannies and how can they be managed?

Summer nannies often juggle multiple children, dynamic schedules, and the need for engaging activities during long days. Challenges include keeping children entertained without excessive screen time, maintaining routines, and adapting to changes such as family travel or playdates. Proactive communication with parents, planning a variety of age-appropriate activities, and setting clear boundaries help manage these challenges effectively. Building flexibility and creativity into your approach will make your summer experience smoother and more enjoyable for everyone involved.

What Are the Job Duties of a Summer Nanny?

As a summer nanny, you take care of children while school is out for the summer. You usually work in the family home, and your job duties include preparing meals, supervising and keeping the children safe, and playing games or other activities. You also perform simple housework like laundry, cleaning up toys, washing dishes, and other small chores. Duties vary based on each family’s needs, and as different as every child is, so too will every nanny job be different.

What is the difference between Summer Nanny vs Babysitter?

While both Summer Nannies and Babysitters provide childcare, Summer Nannies typically work longer seasons with more responsibilities and may have childcare certifications. Babysitters usually offer short-term, flexible care without formal credentials. The choice depends on your childcare needs—seasonal, consistent care or occasional babysitting.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Summer Nanny, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Summer Nanny, you need experience in child care, a basic understanding of child development, and often CPR/first aid certification. Familiarity with household management, scheduling apps, and safety monitoring tools is beneficial. Patience, creativity, and strong communication make a nanny stand out by fostering trust and engaging children in meaningful ways. These skills ensure a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for children while providing peace of mind for parents during the summer months.

Job description

Job Details

Location: 1025 Lenox Park Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30319
 
Camp Dates: 5/26/2026 (Tue) - 7/31/2026 (Fri) -- (additionally, one weekend to set up, one weekend to breakdown, and an orientation date)
 
Camp Hours: 8:00 am - 6:00 pm (actual shifts will vary)
 
Hourly Wage: The hourly rate for this position is $17.75 - $20.25 per hour. The pay range listed here is what Steve & Kate's Camp in good faith anticipates offering for this job opening.  Actual compensation offers within this range will depend on experience and other relevant business or organizational factors.
 

At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. Campers choose minute-to-minute how to spend their time because making decisions today helps to build the self-confidence they’ll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included!  Sound like something you can get behind? If so, we're looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. As a Steve & Kate’s staff member, you’ll sharpen your inherent leadership skills, learn some new ones, and collaborate with interesting people, all while immersing yourself in creativity and play. 

Job Responsibilities
The only small piece of this job is the size of your campers’ shoes.  Our youngest campers (ages 4-5) are free to take on camp with self-direction like our older campers, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need some extra TLC.  As the youngest campers' lead counselor, you’ll utilize resources provided by S&K to implement and manage the structure of the camp day, manage a team of support staff, and generally make sure that we are meeting all the baseline needs of our little ones.  
Additional Responsibilities

  • Do you appreciate and agree with our self-directed approach for kids?
  • Would sparking up conversations with staff, campers and parents fit in your comfort zone? If it is out of your comfort zone are you willing to grow in this area?
  • Are you a self-starter excited at the idea of taking ownership of your own mini-program?
  • Are you comfortable navigating challenging and sometimes sensitive interactions?
  • Are you the type of person who can’t rest until you’ve done everything possible to make someone feel cared for? Like, if someone you knew was in need, would you do more than send them a “thinking of you” text?
  • Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you?  
  • Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 yr. olds bursting with energy and creative potential? And, if needed, can you bench press the equivalent of a kindergartner (just kidding --- can you lift up to 40 pounds)?


Job Requirements

  • At least 18 years of age
  • Minimum of 2 months experience working with camp–age children, with 1 year preferred, in either a professional, personal or volunteer setting. 
  • First Aid & CPR certified prior to Day 1 of Camp (some locations may require additional certifications)
  • By applying and accepting an offer, you are giving Steve & Kate's permission to email or text you. 
  • You may be asked to chaperone campers on an off-site Field Trip where locations demand. 
 
Physical Requirements

This position requires the employee to comply with all applicable federal, state, local, Steve & Kate's Camp, Bright Horizons’, and client site requirements concerning immunizations, employment physical/screening, and health and safety training. If hired, you will work in person in a schooled-aged camp setting to provide supervision, care, program delivery, and services per Steve & Kate's Camp and Bright Horizons’ policies, procedures and guidance, in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations, and in a manner that will ensure the safety of children in Steve & Kate's Camp's care and the employee. 
Steve & Kate's Camp and Bright Horizons comply with all laws that require reasonable accommodations for qualifying disabilities and/or pregnancy-related limitations. The full set of physical requirements for this role are as follows:

  • Maintain and follow all safety and health rules of the location.
  • Organize and maintain clean and accessible activity spaces.
  • Assist in camp set-up and breakdown during move-in and out weekends.
  • Stand for long periods while supervising children and facilitating activities.
  • Participate in athletic games.
Benefits:
  • Where local regulations mandate, this position is eligible for sick time.
Deadline to Apply: This posting is anticipated to remain open until April 15, 2026.
