Part-time Nanny for Mercer Island 7yo and 10yo (15-20 hrs per week)

Jovie
Bellevue, WA, USA

Summary:
A bit about us : We’re a friendly co-parenting family looking for a reliable and sweet nanny to care for our two energetic boys, ages 7 and 10. Both children have ADHD, and our eldest is also on the autism spectrum. They are fun-loving, active kids who enjoy snowboarding, games, music, and bouncing on the trampoline. The position involves a structured after-school routine, including household tasks, meal prep, and driving to tutoring sessions. We have a warm and cooperative co-parenting dynamic, with homes just minutes apart. Our ideal nanny will become a stable presence in our boys' lives and engage them with a balance of fun and structure.

A bit about you : You're an experienced, patient caregiver who understands neurodivergent children and can meet their needs with humor, energy, and redirection. You love being active, whether it's jumping on the trampoline, playing games, or engaging in creative play. You're a reliable and consistent presence, able to balance fun with firm guidance. You understand the unique dynamics of a co-parenting household and bring empathy and warmth to children navigating different home environments. Perhaps you grew up in a two-household family yourself or have experience supporting children growing up in co-parenting households. You’re adaptable, communicative, and sensitive to the needs of both parents, ensuring consistency and stability for the child. Our boys respond best to caregivers who are goofy, engaging, and structured while maintaining a calm and understanding approach. We hope that you’re a dog lover who enjoys being around pets too, as both households have two friendly dogs.
