Job Overview: Full-Time Nanny (Long-Term Role)

A family in Houston is seeking a highly professional and dedicated Nanny for a multi-year partnership. This role is focused on the comprehensive care of an infant (0–11 months) and offers a unique blend of high-level responsibility and premium benefits, including international travel opportunities.

This is a Long-Term Role intended for a caregiver who views childcare as a career and is interested in being a foundational part of a child’s development.

Key Responsibilities & Daily Tasks

Infant Care & Development

Attentive Care: Provide specialized care for an infant, including feeding, nap schedules, and cloth diapering.
Developmental Play: Design and engage in activities that foster age-appropriate physical, cognitive, and emotional milestones.
Educational Focus: Utilize an interest in teaching or child development to create an enriching environment for the child.

Logistics & Household Support

Transportation: Safely drive the child to and from daycare (once the child is age-eligible).
Light Housekeeping: Assist with tasks related to the child’s well-being and maintaining a tidy nursery/common area.
Pet Interaction: Maintain a comfortable environment for the family’s pets—an elderly trained sport dog and a cat.

Qualifications & Requirements

Core Competencies

Infant Experience: Extensive, verifiable experience specifically with children under 12 months old.
Certifications: Must hold CPR and First Aid certification (or be willing to obtain it immediately).
Licensing: A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record are mandatory.
Health: Must be a non-smoker.

Linguistic & Educational Preferences

Primary Languages: Fluency in English and German (Hochdeutsch) is highly preferred.
Additional Languages: Proficiency in Mandarin or Arabic is a significant advantage.
Background: A background in education, early childhood development, or teaching is preferred.

Compensation & Schedule

Hourly Rate: $21.00 – $36.00 per hour (DOE).
Schedule: Monday–Saturday, 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM.
Paid Downtime: Once the child starts daycare (3–5 days/week), the nanny receives paid downtime from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM.
Perks: Opportunities for both domestic and international travel with the family.

Why This Role?

This position is a “Career Nanny” opportunity that rewards linguistic skill and educational expertise with a highly competitive salary—potentially reaching over $2,000 per week given the 60+ hour schedule. The inclusion of paid downtime while the child is at daycare and the prospect of global travel makes this one of the most prestigious private childcare roles currently available in the Houston market.
