Jovie
Seattle, WA, USA

Summary:
A bit about us : We are a warm, down-to-earth family looking for a dependable nanny to become an important part of our lives during an exciting season with our growing family. Our household includes a 5-year-old who will be starting kindergarten this fall and an infant who will be about 5 months old when care begins in October, and we're hoping to find someone who enjoys caring for children at different developmental stages. We value open communication, kindness, and creating a positive, welcoming environment where our nanny feels comfortable and appreciated. We enjoy traveling, spending time at the Bellevue Club, staying active through sports, music, and dancing, and we're looking for someone who will become a trusted partner in helping our family thrive.

A bit about you : Our ideal nanny is warm, engaging, and genuinely loves spending time with children. You're dependable, communicative, and someone we can confidently rely on each day, knowing our children are in caring and capable hands. You enjoy being active, are physically able to carry an infant and navigate a multi-level home, and love getting outside for walks, outings, and adventures. You are committed to creating meaningful, screen-free experiences, value building lasting relationships with families, and are looking for a long-term position of at least one year. French or Spanish language skills would be a wonderful bonus but are not required.

Job Duties : Your primary focus will be providing attentive, nurturing care for our infant throughout the day while following a consistent routine of feedings, naps, developmental play, and neighborhood walks or age-appropriate classes and activities. In the afternoons, you'll also care for our school-age child, including school pick-up, engaging in outdoor play, visiting parks, and creating a fun, supportive environment until the workday ends. During infant naps or quieter moments, you'll help keep children's spaces tidy, wash bottles, load children's laundry, and clean up after meals so the home stays organized. If you enjoy cooking, preparing children's meals or occasionally making dinner for the family while the baby naps would be greatly appreciated, though it is not required. “Text  NANNY to Show phone numberto apply and schedule your interview in under 3 minutes.
