A little bit about us

We are an Australian-Korean family living in Phinney Ridge seeking a warm, creative, and high-energy nanny to become a long-term extension of our home as our two boys grow! Currently, we need coverage on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, typically from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM, with flexibility for slightly earlier starts (like a 2:00 PM arrival to step in with our sweet 6-month-old for 30 minutes before big brother wakes up).

Our endlessly curious 3-year-old thrives on rich connection and has a vivid imagination. He loves playing pretend, reading books, building fairy gardens, going on bike rides, climbing trees, and visiting the library. Everything is within walking distance, but we also have memberships to the zoo, aquarium, and flight museum for local outings! He notices when adults are distracted, so we maintain a strict screen-free policy (no phone usage while on duty) so he gets the responsive, fully present interaction he craves.

Because we are in a transitional season with a toddler and a baby, we need a caregiver with true early-childhood experience who knows how to navigate typical 3-year-old ups, downs, and big emotions with patience and humour. Flexibility is key: on any given day, you might be taking our toddler to the playground, taking our baby for a stroller walk around the block so Mum can hit a doctor's appointment, or helping reset the play area. Note that you'll only be responsible for one kid at a time but as time goes on, this role will transition into caring for both as our youngest grows. We will adjust the pay to reflect.

We treat our nanny like family. That means a stocked pantry with unlimited snacks, food, a dedicated coffee budget for special coffee dates, and a home environment where you feel truly welcomed, valued, and supported. In return, we want someone who genuinely loves working with kids, brings great energy, and wants to stick with us for years to come.

If you are playful, proactive, and ready to jump in, we'd love to meet you!

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

Title: Warm, active nanny for toddler nanny share in Central District (starts January 4)

We're a Central District family looking for a warm, reliable nanny to start January 4th. This is a nanny share position, caring for our son and one other toddler of similar age. We're in the process of lining up the second family now and will introduce you once that's settled.

Our son will be 25 months in January. He's curious and busy, and he does best with a day that has real outdoor time, active play, and simple age-appropriate learning worked in.

About the role:

Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Start: January 4th
Length: six-month contract to begin, with real potential to extend
Location: Central District, Seattle.
Hosting: [our home / alternating between homes]
Rate: competitive, reflective of a nine-hour day and two children, with overtime handled properly. Happy to discuss.

What we're looking for:
Someone who genuinely enjoys this age. Warmth, patience, and consistency matter to us as well as some early education experience. Experience caring for two toddlers at once is important, as is being reliable about hours. If you have a favorite park, library story time, or rainy-day routine, we'd love to hear about it.

If this sounds like a good fit, please reach out. Happy to do a quick virtual chat to see whether this is a fit.

Part-Time Nanny Job: The Morris Family with 3 Children

Looking for Mon, Tues, and Wed for after school care of our three children, in the Alki area of W Seattle. Pickup of all 3 from school (all in same location), to our home that is 1.1 miles away, so both walkable or by car. School releases at 2:25, early release 1:15 on Wed. Mom works until 4:30, home between 5 to 5:30. We have a French bulldog and a cat.

Estimating 11-12 hours a week on avg.

If an option exists to come earlier to walk the dog, open to that as well.

We believe our kids are a great bunch, good at listening, caring for each other, and overall would be an easy "babysit". They love playing outside, and enjoy Minecraft and legos at home or making forts out of pillows, chairs, and blankets. They are a bunch of goof balls, and keep each other entertained when playing together!
