Full-Time Nanny for Seattle Infant (40 hrs per week) Placement

Summary Jovie – Seattle, WA, USA A bit about us We are a warm, quiet, and home-centered family seeking an experienced nanny to care for our infant daughter beginning in August. We value a responsive, cue-based approach to parenting and follow our child's lead when it comes to feeding, sleep, and play rather than rigid schedules. We are passionate about creating a calm, nurturing environment and enjoy spending time at home, cooking, and taking neighborhood walks. Both parents work in professional roles, with some work-from-home days, and are looking for a nanny who is comfortable working alongside parents while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries and discretion. A bit about you You are an experienced infant nanny who genuinely enjoys supporting a baby's development through responsive care and engagement.

A calm, patient, and quiet demeanor is important, as both the baby and family dog thrive in a peaceful environment. You are active enough to keep up with a growing infant, comfortable around dogs, respectful of family preferences, and able to collaborate with parents without imposing your own childcare philosophies. Bonus points if you speak Italian or have experience with Montessori‑inspired activities, cloth diapering, or early potty‑learning approaches.
