We have two types of jobs, live in nannies and live out jobs. We do live-out jobs in the Boston metro area only, and to be eligible for these jobs you must be living in this area already or have specific plans for where you will live when you come here. We have live in nanny jobs nationwide, but predominantly on the east coast in the suburbs of the major metropolitan areas, like NYC, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Boston. Those live in nanny jobs are required to offer a separate bedroom and separate bathroom for the nanny at a minimum. However, some of those families have more privacy to offer the nannies: third floor private suite, basement walk-out apartment, and sometimes a separate cottage or suite above the garage. Those nanny jobs available tend to go to our career nannies and are much sought after and competitive to acquire. In all cases, accommodations provided are for the nanny alone… no boyfriends, husbands, children, or pets would be allowed.

Our minimum requirements for all nanny jobs are as follows:

• 3 recent, professional, full-time child care experiences,
• current valid US driver’s license,
• high school diploma or the equivalent, for Au Pair candidates
• BA/BS degree or a minimum of 5 years experience, for Nanny candidates
• ability to make a 12 month commitment with a family
• non-smoker
• competent swimmer
• fluency with the English language
• legal right to work in this country without limits (ie. American citizenship or permanent resident status/greencard)

By “professional nanny experiences”, we mean several things and are looking for more than just casual babysitting references. Long term relationships, professional settings, non-family supervisors, and more than 30 hours per week are obviously more desirable. Teaching, camp counseling, nannying, tutoring, lifeguarding, and coaching are some examples, but in no way would be a compete list, of the types of experiences we consider professional. Relevant experiences should be fairly current and verifiable, at least within the past 5 years.

We are not a sponsorship program and cannot help you acquire a work permit or work visa. We are legally restricted from placing candidates that do not already possess the legal right to work in this country, and would be subject to heavy fines ($10,000+) if we did.

I’m sorry, but we cannot help you unless you meet all of these requirements. If you still have questions about nanny jobs available, please click over to the “Quick Question” page here on our website and submit your question there. Let your in house nanny search be with Beacon Hill Nannies.
