Multi-lingual Rotational Nanny

**Applicants must be fluent in Mandarin and able to speak, read, and write Mandarin proficiently to be considered for this position**

The family is open to candidates who fly in and out.

A loving, adventurous family in Aspen, Colorado is seeking a dedicated multi-lingual Rotational Nanny (Mandarin) for their two children, ages 2 and 5. Both attend a Reggio Emilia school and thrive on creative, imaginative, screen-free play, from art projects and storytelling to hiking, skating, and skiing. The family practices gentle parenting with warmth, emotional awareness, and intentional care. Both parents are retired, at home often, and very hands-on.

The ideal candidate is warm, calm, and confident, emotionally attuned, and able to set firm, loving boundaries while supporting the children's emotional growth. A strong foundation in Reggio Emilia-inspired care, child development, or child psychology will thrive here.
