A loving family based in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC is seeking a dedicated live-out nanny to provide attentive, nurturing care for their 5-month-old son. The family will be relocating to Annapolis, Maryland in September 2026, and is ideally seeking a candidate available to start in Annapolis at that time. A summer start in Washington, DC will be considered for the right candidate who is willing to commute prior to the move. The family is open to starting on a part-time basis of approximately three days per week, with the potential to grow into a full-time role over time.
This is a purely child-centered position. The family is not looking for general household cleaning support, and they are seeking a nanny who brings genuine enthusiasm for active, engaged, and developmentally enriching care.

- Plan and lead daily outings including park visits, playground trips, library story times, and organized classes

- Handle all child-related laundry
- Maintain a safe, stimulating, and organized environment for the child
- Communicate openly and regularly with parents regarding the child’s daily activities, milestones, and needs
- Transport the child to and from activities and appointments as needed
Qualifications:
- Prior professional nanny or childcare experience in a private household setting, with infant experience strongly preferred
- Warm, engaged, and proactive approach to child development and daily care
- Enthusiasm for active, outdoor, and educational activities
