Job Description
Nanny / Childcare - Seasonal/Temporary
West Michigan Nannies is hiring a temporary nanny for sevens week for a family in Ada with four children (girls 11 & 9 and boys 7 and 3). The position will go from April 14-May 30. Candidate must be able to commit to the full seven weeks of this temporary position. Stellar attendance and extreme reliability is crucial for this position. Schedule will be full-time M-F (Tuesdays off) for 10-12 hour days with 6-7am start times, with hours totaling between 40-45/week. An ideal match for this position is someone that can be silly with the kids and have fun but is also firm and keeps the schedule running smoothly, is flexible, mature, responsible and organized. Prior experience with school-aged children and drop-offs and pick-ups is appreciated. Nanny will be responsible for school/daycare/activity drop-offs and pick-ups (vehicle provided for your use), preparing quick, easy meals/snacks, and helping with kids’ laundry. Nanny will need to comfortable and confident caring for all four children at the same time, but this will not typically happen except for before/after school and very limited, miscellaneous school days off. For instance, the oldest three are in school for majority of the day and have different after-school activities. The youngest attends daycare on M/W/F and will be home with nanny on Thursdays. Nanny will help with kids’ laundry and basic tasks around the house while kids are in school. Children are well-behaved and love interacting with new people, are generally quick to warm up, and are very social, friendly, and lots of fun. They love all the things kids their age are into such as sports, arts & crafts, playing outside, Legos, music, free playtime, etc. They are fairly independent and follow directions but are still at that age where they need an adult to manage the daily routine and help get to school and activities on time and offer friendly reminders to bring backpacks, lunchboxes, etc. 🙂 Beautiful home located on the river with lots to do inside and outside and nearby local parks and library to enjoy. While this is a temporary opportunity, West Michigan Nannies would be happy to work with those interested in securing another nanny position within our company as it works with your schedule. Please include a brief description of your experience and availability when applying. This is a W-2 position with competitive hourly pay (direct deposit).
