Love working with children? Let’s turn that into something meaningful. 

Maybe you've been caring for children for years and you're ready for your next great family.

Maybe you've built experience through babysitting, daycare, early childhood education, camps, schools, family care, or other childcare settings—and you're wondering how to turn that experience into a professional nanny career.

Or maybe you're already a professional nanny and simply want more opportunities to do work you love.

Wherever you are in your childcare journey, The Nanny Loft® would love to learn more about you.

We're always looking to connect with caring, dependable people who understand—or are ready to learn—what it means to provide exceptional care for children and professional support to families.

Some opportunities may be a great fit for someone building their professional experience. Others require several years of nanny or infant-care experience.

That's why we want to get to know you.

✨ WHO YOU ARE

You genuinely enjoy being around children.

You're the person who can get down on the floor and play, comfort a crying baby, turn an ordinary afternoon into an adventure, help a child work through a big feeling, or give a parent confidence that their child is in capable hands.

You understand that great childcare requires more than simply being “good with kids.”

It takes reliability, communication, patience, judgment, safety awareness, flexibility, and professionalism.

You may already have years of professional nanny experience—or you may be ready to take the experience you have and build something more.

Either way, you're serious about doing this work well.

WHAT YOUR WORK COULD LOOK LIKE

Opportunities through The Nanny Loft® vary depending on your experience, availability, qualifications, and the needs of our families.

Your days could include:

• Caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged children, or siblings• Creating age-appropriate activities, crafts, games, and adventures• Supporting feeding, naps, routines, homework, and bedtime• Preparing bottles, snacks, and simple meals• Taking children to school, activities, appointments, parks, or playdates• Helping children learn, explore, and develop• Providing light child-related household support• Communicating openly and professionally with parents• Creating a safe, nurturing, engaging environment• Becoming a trusted and dependable part of a family's support system

Depending on the opportunity, positions may include full-time nanny care, part-time nanny care, flexible or backup childcare, temporary care, infant care, after-school care, babysitting, or family-support roles.

No two families are exactly alike—and that's why finding the right fit matters.

WHY THE NANNY LOFT®?

We're not interested in simply filling openings.

We want to understand who you are as a caregiver—your strengths, personality, experience, communication style, availability, career goals, and the type of family environment where you're most likely to thrive.

For newer caregivers, that may mean opportunities to build experience and strengthen your professional skills.

For experienced caregivers, it may mean finding a position that better reflects the level of responsibility, professionalism, and experience you bring to the table.

Our goal is simple:

Better-prepared caregivers. Better-informed families. Stronger matches.

START WHERE YOU ARE. GROW FROM THERE.

You do not need to be the right caregiver for every opportunity.

We aren't looking for one type of person.

We're building relationships with childcare professionals at different stages of their careers so that when the right opportunity comes along, we already know who might be a great fit.

Submitting an application gives our team an opportunity to learn more about you and determine which current or future opportunities may align with your qualifications.
