Nanny/APF Staff Opportunity! You Don't Want To Miss This One!

Job #96488: Nanny/APF Job Available in Phoenix: (16th St and Camelback Rd)

Message from Agency: We are looking for someone to work part-time as a Placement Coordinator for A Perfect Fit and part-time as a nanny for the owner of the agency, Jennifer. Below are the job descriptions for both roles. Please list any questions you have in your application.

Nanny Job

Message from Mom: Dad is a software engineer and I am the owner of A Perfect Fit! We both work from home and will continue to do so after the pandemic is over. Dad might go back to the office one day a week at most. I was a nanny prior to becoming the owner of APF and loved my relationship with the families I've worked for! I still keep in touch with my previous families and truly feel like I am a part of their family. We hope to find a nanny we could build the same type of relationship with and can be our daughter's best friend! We hope to continue to grow our family and add another little one within the next 1-2 years. We do not have any family that lives local but we have very close friends we see often that are like family to us.

About the Child: Our daughter is 6 months old and full of personality! She is always smiling, laughing, and making fun noises trying to figure out how to say real words. She can roll around to get to where she wants to be and has started to get up on all fours and rock so we assume she will be crawling soon! She started eating real food and loves just about anything we feed her. We are doing baby led weaning so she does not eat purees. She is also exclusively breastfed and I plan to continue nursing beyond 1 year. She is on a schedule and sleeps through the night. She does best when we keep her on schedule, though we are flexible for outings and visitors. Overall she's an easygoing baby and is a pleasure to be around. She does not have any special needs that we are aware of.

Their Ideal Nanny: Our ideal nanny would be comfortable taking charge of the childcare duties while both parents are busy working from home. We do not hover but our home is cozy so you would need to be fine with closer quarters. Someone fun, easy-going, and flexible is ideal. Our baby is the light of our life and we hope to find someone that truly loves kids and will enjoy engaging and playing with her.

Additional Job Details: There will not be any driving of the child required at this time but it would be nice if you're open to it in the future.

Duties: Light housekeeping, child's laundry, and cooking for the child

About the Company:

We are a full-service nanny placement agency dedicated to delivering personal assistance in finding the right candidate for every family.

Strong communication (both verbal and written) and customer service skills are vital to building trusted relationships with the clients. You will be responsible for introducing potential clients to the nanny placement process which involves explaining company policies and industry norms, reviewing contracts, and helping clients understand their individualized childcare needs.

General Details for Both Jobs

Start Date: ASAP

Schedule: Guaranteed 35 hours per week, up to 40 hours max. We would like someone that is flexible and preferably doesn't have another job or school. Hours will typically be M-F between 8am - 6:30pm. We are thinking approximately 15 nanny hours and 20-25 agency hours, but we would like someone that can be super flexible. There may be weeks where the agency requires all hours and there may be weeks with heavier nannying needed. Occasional date nights would be nice, but we are also open to a separate babysitter if you'd prefer not to babysit.

Location: Nannying will take place in our home on 16th St an Camelback in Phoenix and the agency work can be done remotely where you choose, though training will take place in our home as well which could take several weeks. In-person nanny interviews are held at a centrally located coffee shop, though we are not conducting interviews in person at this time due to COVID-19.  

Compensation: $17 per hour

Benefits: Paid vacation, holidays, and bonuses  

COVID-19 Precautions: 

We both work from home and have been limiting who we are seeing. We order groceries online and do not go into stores. We wear masks when we have to leave the house. We have not been going to the gym. We have still been getting together with our closest friends occasionally in small group settings. We wash our hands and sanitize regularly.

We hope to find a nanny that follows the recommendations of our local government and the CDC.  We hope they would avoid large gatherings and wear a mask in public places. We will require the nanny to let us know if they have been exposed to anyone with COVID or suspected COVID and will get tested if any symptoms or known exposures occur.
