Nationwide Search: Nanny​/Educator Preschooler

Overview

JACKSON, WY (AND THE WORLD)- Loving, growth-oriented parents (living in two loving, present, and passionate households) seek a FULL-TIME EDUCATOR / NANNY for their 4-year-old son to support his love of learning through play, presence, and curiosity-driven exploration.

This role is ideal for an energetic, grounded, emotionally steady educator who genuinely thrives in a dynamic, travel-forward environment and feels resourced by movement, change, and variety. The ideal candidate is comfortable integrating seamlessly across multiple homes and environments and can easily shift spaces while maintaining consistency, warmth, and structure for the child. Rather than following a traditional curriculum, the educator will observe and respond to the child’s natural interests, designing experiential, child-led learning opportunities rooted in play, relationship, and real-world engagement.

This is not a classroom teacher role. It is a presence-first, logistics-aware, educator/nanny hybrid requiring initiative, emotional resilience, and joy in the everyday rhythms of care, travel, and learning within a fast-paced, high-engagement family lifestyle.

• Guaranteed 40 hours per week Monday–Friday between 7 AM–7 PM with breaks
• Flexibility required depending on location, travel days, and family needs
• The child lives between homes in Jackson, WY; NY (Brooklyn, Hamptons); the Caribbean, and Tennessee
• Time is thoughtfully split between households, with schedules and travel plans arranged well in advance whenever possible
• The family also travels internationally (Europe, Africa, Asia)

Candidates must genuinely enjoy travel, including:

• Airports, packing/unpacking, transitions between homes
• Supporting a young child through travel days with calm leadership and positive energy
• Navigating new environments with confidence and adaptability

Comfort driving in winter conditions, including snow, is required.

A private bedroom and bathroom are provided in each location. A valid passport is required.

• Provide sole-care leadership grounded in warmth, playfulness, and emotional steadiness
• Design child-led, experiential learning opportunities based on the child’s evolving interests
• Plan and execute:
  • Local outings, nature exploration, cultural experiences
  • Classes, playgroups, and community activities in each location
• Support language development through daily Spanish exposure
• Handle day-to-day logistics with initiative (bags, transitions, prep, planning)
• Collaborate closely with hands-on parents while independently owning the role

This role requires someone who can lead with clarity and calm, without needing extensive direction or emotional scaffolding from the household, and who can fluidly integrate into different homes, routines, and rhythms with professionalism and ease.

• Has 10+ years of experience with young children (ages 3–6), ideally in Montessori, Reggio Emilia, unschooling, or experiential education
• Has prior experience working across multiple homes
• Is emotionally regulated and resilient, even during busy or travel-heavy weeks
• Is excited by and opportunistic within a fast-paced, intensive lifestyle rather than overwhelmed by it
• Finds energy — not depletion — in movement, novelty, and change
• Can balance playfulness with structure and follow-through
• Is proactive, organized, and confident in decisions in real time
• Brings warmth, humor, and joy into everyday routines
• Native Spanish fluency is strongly preferred, as daily immersion is important to the family
• Additional skills (music, art, movement, nature education, etc.) are welcome

• Presence over performance
• Curiosity over pressure
• Growth and contribution
• Gratitude, kindness, and emotional intelligence
• Children as capable creators, not passive consumers
• Technology is used consciously and sparingly — never as a regulator or replacement for connection

• Competitive salary
• Medical and dental insurance
• Paid time off
• Long-term opportunity for the right fit

The start date is flexible for the right candidate, with a target of May 2026 (trials in each home completed beforehand in March).
