Hourly Rate: $30-38/hour DOE

Children: Newborn due in July

Pets: Two large, lovable doodles

WHO/WHAT: Some people drift into parenthood. These two have planned for it with heart and intention. As this Lawrenceville two-dad household prepares to welcome their first baby via surrogate this July, they’ve thoughtfully structured the next year of their lives around one clear priority: being present. From July through early fall, both dads will be home full-time (10–12 weeks), soaking in newborn life, learning together, and building their confidence as parents. After that, one dad will continue working from home full-time while the other transitions gradually back to the hospital with a lighter schedule before resuming more regular hours.

In other words, this nanny won’t be stepping into a solo act — but into a true partnership.

They are seeking a rare blend: someone who can lead a household with polish and foresight while also stepping confidently into newborn support. If the role leans slightly in one direction, it tilts toward exceptional household management — systems that run smoothly, research handled thoroughly, vendors coordinated seamlessly, meals thoughtfully prepped (kosher-style preferences), and two oversized, gentle doodles happily managed. But woven throughout? Calm, capable infant care.

In the months ahead, responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating baby-proofing and home prep

• Researching and organizing baby gear (cribs, strollers, monitors — all the joyful first-time-parent decisions)

• Managing scheduling, errands, and household logistics

• Kitchen support and thoughtful meal prep

• Coordinating care for two beloved doodles

• Supporting newborn care shoulder-to-shoulder with both dads

• Helping establish gentle rhythms in those early months



We placed their previous household manager with them and she had a gift: she could take a simple “We need this done” and turn it into a thoughtful, organized action plan that made everything lighter. That quiet ownership and initiative is exactly what they value.

For at least the next year, this role will function primarily as household leadership with seamless infant support woven in.

THE IDEAL NANNY IS…

PROACTIVE & STEADY. You notice what needs attention before it becomes urgent. You build systems that create breathing room. Your presence feels calm.

NEWBORN-CONFIDENT. Whether through formal education or extensive experience, you understand early development and newborn rhythms. You support first-time parents with reassurance — not replacement.

A TRUE PARTNER. These dads are invested, thoughtful, and deeply committed to parenting. They do not want to outsource decision-making — they want informed collaboration. You can offer guidance with humility and step back with grace.

CONSISTENT & RELIABLE. With demanding professional careers in the mix, structure matters. Defined hours will be respected, and reliability will be deeply appreciated.

CONFIDENT, NOT CONTROLLING. You are secure in your expertise. You advise gently, support fully, and understand that your role is to help this new family flourish.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a home at the very beginning of its parenting story — one built on partnership, intention, and gratitude. They are kind, communicative, and deeply respectful employers who value long-term relationships with their caregivers. If you find joy in both beautifully organized systems and tiny newborn stretches — this may be your role.
