Benefits: PTO (2 weeks paid vacation, Sick Days, Paid Holidays/Observed Holidays, Guaranteed Hours)
Duration: Long-term, one-year commitment or longer desired
Work from home : Both parents work at home in dedicated home offices. Both parents have busy jobs and strive to provide an autonomous work environment for their nanny!
Pets: One golden retriever and one chihuahua
Driving: Nanny must have a valid driver's license, auto insurance, and a responsible driving record. The family will provide car seats and reimburse for mileage while on the job (preschool drop-offs, activities that require driving).
About the Family: Their daughter LOVES being outside and exploring! She is easy going, loves to chat, and is sweet and loving. She's happiest on walks, playing in the backyard, going on outdoor adventures (rain and shine - puddle splashing!), being read to, collecting flowers (and interesting rocks) or playing with her two sweet dogs, a golden retriever named Theo and a chihuahua named Griffin.
Mom works for Microsoft and loves spending time with her family, trying new activities and traveling. She is a kind and direct communicator and values honest conversations.
Dad loves going to Sounders games, skiing, road trips and exploring new places as a family. He also values communication.
Together, they love taking their 2 year old to fun parent/child activities like gymnastics, ballet, music and toddler groups. They very much value the time they get to all spend together.
The Ideal Nanny for this family: The right fit for this family is calm, professional, nurturing, engaging and a solid communicator. Their family and home runs smoothly with routine and predictability, so someone reliable/dependable is a must. The parents are hoping to find a true family partner that will stay long term and will grow with the family.
Their ideal nanny is experienced balancing the needs of a toddler and newborn and will find ways to make the days for their kids that is routine based but full of adventure and learning - whether that's making a story come alive or going for a walk in the rain and seeing how many puddles you can find to splash in and so much more.
The right candidate for this family also has a pitch-in attitude and while the household duties are mostly limited to child-related tasks, they want someone who has a natural inclination to help out where needed (and especially if the parents have time in their busy days to take a small family walk or there is other down time).
Willing to travel with the family and/or dog sit, that's a huge bonus!
SOME WORDS FROM THE FAMILY Does religion play a part in your family life? How will this relate to the nanny? No, both of us are not religious. We will need our nanny to respect not discussing religion with our kids as we prefer to facilitate those conversations on our own.
Do you or anyone in your household have any allergies, intolerances, or dietary restrictions your nanny should be aware of? No
What are the main challenges your nanny might face when caring for your child/ren (e.g., separation anxiety, discipline, etc.)? Our daughter is used to being an only child, so having to share the adult attention might be an adjustment for her. There will also be quite a few changes in her day-to-day routine between the new sibling, starting preschool and getting a new nanny so we need someone who can help her navigate all of these!
Do you require your nanny to have certain vaccinations? Yes. We require TDaP, Flu/Covid vaccinations
