Message from Family: We're a warm, close-knit family in Fort Worth expecting our first child in late February. We're seeking someone who will grow with us for years, someone who becomes an extension of our family, not just an employee. We envision a long-term relationship built on trust, care, and shared values as our family expands (we hope to have three children in total).
We believe in structured days and consistent routines, but also in letting kids be kids, full of outdoor play, creativity, and learning through real-world experiences. We're an “old-fashioned childhood” kind of home: no screens, lots of books, art, and hands-on fun. Stability, love, and laughter are at the core of how we parent.
About the Child: We are expecting our first child in February
Their Ideal Nanny: We are looking for someone who is deeply caring and proactive, loves children, and sees this as a long-term relationship. Someone who brings warmth, reliability, and confidence, with a strong sense of structure balanced by fun and flexibility, is organized but not rigid, communicates openly and respectfully with parents, is comfortable working in a two-dad household, (ideally) speaks Spanish or another second language, and is a structured caregiver who values old-fashioned childhoods.
Experience with newborns is a plus, but we welcome broader childcare backgrounds for the right personality and long-term mindset.
Additional Job Details: Our nanny will primarily focus on childcare. Housekeeping duties are limited to the baby's laundry, bottles, and play areas. We have a full-time housekeeper for general home care, but we may occasionally ask for help with a quick errand, light tidying, or feeding our friendly golden retriever when we're away.
You'll begin alongside an experienced NCS for the first three months to help establish rhythms and routines. As the baby grows, your role will expand into supporting early learning, social development, and (eventually) activities. You'll stay in close communication with our full-time nanny to ensure consistency, coordination, and a smooth handoff between weekday and weekend care.
Daily Life: Your schedule will focus on weekend support, aligning with our newborn's natural routine. Because newborns have short wake windows and frequent naps, you'll naturally have breaks throughout your shift. Some weekends may require more evening coverage through bedtime, while other days we may step in so you can wrap up earlier.
We're hoping to build a strong partnership between both of our nannies, so if you ever need a day covered or if our full-time nanny needs a day off, you'll be able to coordinate and support each other. Each of you will primarily cover your core schedule (weekdays for the full-time nanny and weekends for you), with flexibility to collaborate when needed.
Travel: Travel is a regular part of our family's lifestyle. Our full-time nanny will accompany us on occasional domestic trips, usually long weekends and sometimes up to a week. Travel will always be scheduled in advance, and you'll have your own private accommodations along with generous downtime between active childcare hours.
We may occasionally offer travel opportunities to our weekend nanny as well, depending on availability and the needs of the trip, though the majority of travel responsibilities will fall to our full-time nanny.
