A little bit about us
We’re looking for a full-time nanny to care for our kids, Roan (2yo) and Soren (4.5yo). We're looking for care starting this month as both of our boys will be home this summer. We're hoping their summer will be filled with days at the neighborhood pool, playing soccer in the backyard, going to the playground and being creative with arts and crafts. Soren will begin kindergarten in mid-August, and at the same time we’re expecting our third baby boy. At that point, care will shift to primarily supporting Roan and the baby, with after-school care for Soren.
We believe in the importance of outdoor play, creative exploration, and limiting screen time. Our kids enjoy spending time in the garden, going on playground adventures, and participating in activities at Romp n' Roll and the Children’s Museum. We're hoping to find someone who shares these values and can help support their growth through play, conversation, and hands-on experiences.

A little bit about us
Family Composition: We are a loving family of four, including two young children.
--son, 6 years old, is on the Autism spectrum with suspected ADHD. He is an incredibly affectionate and social boy who thrives on connection. He is highly energetic and sensory-seeking, requiring a caregiver who can provide consistent, loving boundaries and engage in active play.
--R, 4 years old, is a bright and spirited daughter who enjoys imaginative play.
Parental Roles: I am a stay-at-home mom with some ongoing health struggles seeking additional support in the afternoon after school to ensure our children's well-being and development. My husband works as a full time software engineer.
We are looking for an experienced part time nanny with the potential to move to full time work if the fit is right! We need a candidate with experience in autism, as P has level 3 autism, and the main purpose of this job is to assist with our son after school (2 pm) until we wind down for bed (6:00 pm). We would of course want our nanny to also engage with our 4-year-old daughter! But definitely someone who had a heart for significant special needs and a willingness to support autistic children. We need special help with diaper changes, bath time, and dinner preparation/support, as these are the most challenging parts of care. You are a highly energetic and engaging individual who can keep up with our active son and provide stimulating activities for both children.
You will have the opportunity to make a significant and positive impact on the lives of two young children, particularly our son. Our previous nanny was so impacted by her work that she plans to devote her career to pediatric occupational therapy, working with children with ASD/ADHD.

A little bit about us
I am seeking a patient caregiver for my son with autism. While I do have two children, I am primarily looking for someone who will assist in all the extra needs that come with a special needs child! A worker who is willing to work full time with a flexible schedule is preferred. I would appreciate someone who is comfortable driving, administering medication, and following routines. I will also need someone who is understanding of neurodiversity and willing to learn. My son also struggles with aggressive behaviors and is currently facing charges due to violent behaviors. Someone who has background in law enforcement, ABA therapy, Mental Health Care or any form of self-defense training is preferred. My family looks forward to hearing from you!
