A little bit about us

We are looking for a fun and interactive nanny for our family of 5. We have three girls ages 4.5, 6.5 and 8.5. Currently the older two attend a local elementary school full time with drop off at 8:15am and pick up at 3:20pm. The youngest attends preschool nearby and will be in school on MWF full days. We also have a friendly 7 year old basset hound and plan to add a puppy to the family in the springtime as school is ending for eager siblings to help with caretaking. Ideally we seek someone who is adaptable and able to multi task without getting overwhelmed. They must love animals (dogs specifically) as they are our family members as well, and we strive to incorporate love of and caretaking of pets into our children's lives. Must be a non smoker, CPR certified, and have their own reliable transportation. We do encourage walking to school as long as weather permits, but on occasion and in wintertime driving limited distances may be required. We don't have specific dietary restrictions. Light house duties to include laundry, dishes, and tidying and basic cleaning would be expected as well when children are not home. Weekly hours may be in the range of 20-30 hrs. Days of work would be Tuesday and Thursday approximately 7am-5pm. Ideally we seek someone with a little flexibility in their schedule for rare schedule changes from time to time. This role may expand to 40 hr work weeks mid May for summer nanny role with kids home full time. As such, the ideal candidate may be a local college student who has a wide open Tues/Thursday spring schedule and plans to nanny for the summer. We have had live-in international au pairs for the past 6 years and have always included them into our day to day lives and continue strong relationships with them all. We would love for this person to be a strong role model for our young growing minds and become like a big sister or aunt in their relationship with our girls.

Full-Time Nanny Job: The Brown Family with 1 Child

We are eager to find the right fit for a November start date so below is a brief overview of what we are looking for & standard questions we would have..

Experience, safety credentials, and family alignment to care for our Harlow would be top priority.

1. Safety, Health, and Emergencies
- "Are your CPR and First Aid certifications up to date?"
- "Can you walk me through exactly how you would handle an allergic reaction or medical emergency?"

2. Daily Routine and Activities
- "What are your preferred methods for sleep training or naptime soothing?"
- "What does a typical day with a child my child's age look like?"

4. Logistics and Household Management
- "Are you comfortable with child-related chores like washing bottles, children's laundry, and tidying up play areas?"
- "Do you have a clean driving record, and are you comfortable driving our child if necessary?"
- "How much schedule flexibility do you have if our work day runs late or has a schedule change?"

We are located in Creston, just north of downtown GR (Knapp & Plainfield). Dad works in Holland, I am 100% remotely working from the home. We have one family dog Rizzo (English Springer Spaniel) who is beyond friendly & quite the lazy city dog. Enclosed backyard, comfortable deck, & neighbor strolls are where we choose to spend most of our time right now. Looking for 9-5 or 8-4, slightly flexible start & end times. I am very open to your preferences in working with a WFH parent.

Sleep training will be a new concept for us around this time. Breastfeeding & supplementing with formula currently, and hope to have our feeding journey sorted out in the next month. (Happy to discuss further.)

Do you have any non-negotiables? Would you be okay with a full background check? Preferred contract or style of agreement? Preferred hours, pay, sick/time off? Are you looking for a long term position?

Looking for full time for our 2 sweet boys

We are a Christian family looking for a full time nanny M-F 830-430 for our almost 7 yr old and 2 1/2 yr old boys. Our oldest has been nannied since he was 3 months old and we have been fortunate to have a few great girls that have helped us out over the last 7 years. Our faith is most important to us and our goal is to incorporate it into everyday life. We pray before meals, have a verse of the month, and talk about how to live out the fruits of the spirit. They also love the park, reading, arts and crafts, playing chase, and snuggling! Our oldest is in first grade so responsibilities are primarily for our 2 1/2 yr old. Please send me a message if you are interested in our position! Look forward to getting to know you.
