Nanny job description
Let me tell you about myself and you shall know best if we'd be a good match.
I'm a 24 year old mom. An introvert, non-conformist by nature, living life on my own rules. Very high standards for myself and only wanting to cooperate with people with standards just as high and always-positive attitude. Love travels, want to learn about other cultures and languages and make my son quadrilingual... Actually, more, if you really want to know:) - while it's still effortless on his side.
I strongly believe that people should follow their passions. And I believe in win-win situations. Let me be clear about this, because it's important. I hate asking for help or asking anyone to do anything. I only want to work and interact with people, who are motivated and driven by their intention to give their 100% at anything they do, to help, learn and travel.
Very logical in my thinking, more than willing to admit my own mistakes, tolerant and understanding. Understanding everything except for being slow, not focused and only pretending to be listening:) Open and honest above all else. Can provide contacts to people who had worked with me in the past; you can ask them directly how it was. In good moments and bad, and what those moments were about.
All of the above on a quite tight, single mom, no child support budget. Risk-taker. Skydiver and pilot, or should I say I used to be, while I still could. Would love to be able to do it again once I find quality care for Joshua.
Don't settle for anything less than almost-perfect. Yes, I know there's no perfection. I still try, though, as it's the only way to be as good as one can be:)
Quite unusual person, or so i say so myself;-) . My work is never done. Always have a thousand things to do. And I have to do them QUICKLY and well. Passionate about self-development, never-ending learning, time managment and productivity:) Approachable and very friendly, though it only lasts if you respect my time - meaning managing your time wisely, too. Rules are open, explained if necessary or helpful (and it usually is), and only a few are strict.
Open to ideas and suggestions, and expecting the same.
90% of the time I'm extremely busy, doing 50 things at the same time, so I really need someone able to understand and respect it. Someone, who wants to help and take off of my shoulders as many of everyday things as possible. Food preparation, grocery shopping, dishes (please remember that it's a small family:) ) and dealing with cleaning ladies or doing some basic cleaning yourself, and of course keeping Josh busy (and learning) so that he's with you, and not with me, during your "working" hours. [Don't like to call it working, I'm really looking for a - albeit temporary - stay-at-home-mom for Josh if I can put it this way;) since I have to work]
So it all comes down to looking for a temporary "subsitute mom"!;)
I work from home btw.
If you think you would fit here and would like to give "being a mom for a few months" (or longer if you find that you enjoy your time with us) a try, I invite you to be a part of our family and possibly a life-long friend:)
Family's Message to Nanny
Hello, Please read carefully. It's not a job for everyone. Not for anyone looking for a "job", for that matter.
>I couldn't add it in the Job Highlihts section but we're generally looking for someone who not only speaks good English, but also Spanish or Mandarin. If you only speak English and otherwise fit the description, please still message me, although priority will be given to Au Pairs who speak two or more of these languages.<
I'd love to help you further improve your English should you want my help, although an already high level of English is required, so that there's no communication barrier. Learning Spanish and Mandarin is important to me and I'd love your help with that, too.
What's offered: Plenty of opportunity to learn about child development, positive parenting (based on respect, trust and leading by example, free of demands), NVC (Non Violent Communication - useful not just with kids:) ), Attachment Parenting, raising kids conciously, early education and maximizing child's potential. Opportunity to learn about health and healthy foods. And about time management, productivity, travels, marketing, education, technology... and more:) Living in Mexico in beautiful Cabo San Lucas/San Jose del Cabo or Rosarito Beach, depending on time of the year. One sure thing is great weather all year round:) There is a community pool (or two). We tend to move around the globe, so it might as well be Brazil or some other place. I'd love to find someone open to future arrangements in different countries as well.
I am looking for someone with LOTS of positive energy and with INITIATIVE. Someone who thinks for themselves, listens carefully and asks important questions. Someone who doesn't say "yea, sure" when they didn't hear some words. Someone active, not passive.
I value speed more than anything else (as long as you attempt to do your best, too). Except for treating my child well, of course:)
Please read on if you want to be: Our friend and family member, an eager student of life;) appreciated and appreciating, give 100% and around people who give 100% in whatever they do. First of all, you have to truly enjoy being with children for long periods of time and enjoy preparing (very) simple meals. If you're not 100% sure you absolutely love it, please don't waste our time. I need a lot of help with my 2-year-old and hope to find a person who will naturally get involved, without having to be asked for everything.
If you want to be a "mom" for a few months and deeply understand that I need a lot of distraction-free working time and are willing to help with that.
