Description:

We’re offering a Nanny Internship for someone passionate about helping young children learn, grow, and thrive in a supportive, playful environment. You’ll start by shadowing experienced caregivers, learning routines, safety practices, and how to handle different age groups. You’ll be taught how to soothe fussiness, read nonverbal cues, and comfort babies during teething or tummy troubles. You’ll assist in organizing indoor and outdoor play activities that are both fun and age-appropriate. You’ll support the creation of a calm, positive atmosphere where children feel safe, seen, and heard. You’ll observe how to introduce tummy time, age-appropriate sensory play, and gentle verbal engagement. You’ll assist with preparing healthy snacks and meals while introducing children to good habits and independence. You’ll help manage toys, organize children’s belongings, and maintain a clean and child-safe environment. You’ll learn how to engage children in storytelling, crafts, games, and light educational exercises based on their age and needs.

Basic Qualifications:

• Offer a consistent, comforting presence that children can rely on day after day.
• Take initiative when needed, but also ask questions when unsure of a family’s preferences.
• Respect family boundaries while building trust and open communication with parents.
• Adapt to the needs of each child, recognizing different temperaments and learning styles.
• Change diapers, assist with potty training, and teach basic hygiene and self-care skills.

Preferred:

• Able to adapt to different family schedules, routines, or travel needs when necessary.
• Maintains discretion and professionalism regarding the family’s privacy and personal matters.
• Enjoys helping children grow, learn, and feel secure in a loving and supportive environment.
• Able to follow daily routines including feeding, naps, diaper changes, and playtime activities.
• Wants to grow into roles like Montessori Assistant, Childcare Manager, or Preschool Teacher.

Benefits:

• Because this isn’t just a job — it’s love, patience, and presence, and we honor that.
• Open communication — we want your feedback, suggestions, and ideas.
• We celebrate effort — not just Pinterest-perfect moments.
• You’re trusted with what matters most — and we never take that lightly.
• Stable schedule that fits *your* life — mornings, afternoons, or full days.

You’ll support nap time routines, transitions between activities, and help create consistent rhythms throughout the day. You’ll develop a basic understanding of first aid, child safety, and what to do in emergency situations. You’ll work closely with the parents, providing daily updates and adjusting based on each child’s needs and preferences. You’ll gain real experience in multitasking, emotional regulation, and creating a warm but structured environment. You’ll receive one-on-one guidance and constructive feedback to help you grow with confidence. We’ll guide you every step of the way — no experience required, just a caring attitude and desire to learn. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to combine childcare with early learning in a real-world setting. If you’re ready to support the smallest humans in their biggest moments, we’d love to help you begin your journey.
