On a typical day, you would arrive in the morning. The first part of your shift would be fairly calm and flexible, focusing on light housekeeping related to the girls—things like tidying shared spaces, organizing play areas, and keeping the kitchen neat. You would then prepare lunch for the girls around noon and sit with them while they eat, helping to create a relaxed and positive mealtime routine. After lunch, your role would shift toward childcare and engagement. You’d help structure the rest of the afternoon and evening by planning and guiding activities—this could include creative play, outdoor time, reading, or age-appropriate games. The goal is to keep the girls engaged, active, and supported while still allowing room for fun and flexibility. Later in the afternoon or early evening, you would begin meal prepping dinner for the family. This would usually be done while continuing to supervise or involve the girls in a safe, age-appropriate way. The evening should feel organized but not rushed, setting a calm tone as the day winds down. Overall, the ideal day is a balance of light household support, thoughtful meal preparation, and hands-on, structured care that helps the girls feel happy, secure, and stimulated. Monday - Friday schedule guaranteed, some weekends will be needed as well as some light travel that will be paid for. Nanny will be given enough notice before additional time outside of the Monday - Friday is needed.
