Overview
A warm and caring family living in Mendham, New Jersey is seeking a career nanny to help care for their 4 children aged 2-years, 4 years, 5 years, and 10 years old. This is a live-in role, but the family would consider a live-out candidate if they live close by. The schedule is to be confirmed but either Friday through Monday, 7am-7pm, or Thursday through Sunday 7am-7pm and finish once the children have left for school on Monday morning. The nanny will be provided with private staff live-in quarters on the lower level of the home with a private bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette.
Mom is around during the day and is very involved in the children's lives, having regular interaction, so the nanny should be comfortable with this set up and be able to work as a team.

The family own a dog, but he will not be the responsibility of the nanny.
The three older children attend school full-time, meaning the youngest child would be the main focus of care during term time.
