  • Maintain professionalism, discretion, and confidentiality at all times.
  • QUALIFICATIONS

    • Minimum 5 years of professional nanny experience in UHNW or staffed households.
    • Proven success working collaboratively on a nanny team and with hands-on parents.
    • Highly active, engaging, and energetic; able to participate in physical and outdoor play.

    • Comfortable in a dynamic, fast-paced household with changing schedules.
    • CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to certify).
    • Valid driver’s license with clean driving record; confident driving children.
    • Trustline registered (or willing to register).
    • Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally; passport ready.

    • No vacation or travel plans within the first 3–6 months of employment.
