We have a full-time nanny who's amazing, and we're looking for a second dependable person to add to our village. Someone we trust, who's with us consistently once a week, and who can pick up occasional extra shifts when we travel for work or our nanny takes time off.
Our four kids are 7, 5, 3, and 17 months. Two boys, two girls. Our baby girl has Down syndrome and is an actual angel. Experience with special needs is a bonus, though what matters most is patience and a genuine heart for kids.
My husband and I own a local business, have been married nearly 15 years, and we're ready to make Friday date night a real habit. That's Fridays 3pm to 10pm, with occasional later evenings. You'd lead the kids through play, dinner, and bedtime with confidence, grace, and humor.
We also love help keeping the household running smoothly: switching laundry and dishes, tidying the kitchen, putting away groceries.
We foster an environment of growth/ learning, contribution, and accountability in our family. We preach to our kids "we live a life of abundance" so there's always more to have, to give, to learn (no scarcity mindsets here); we model and expect communication and uplifting others, and remind them we're either winning or learning. Most importantly, that a great attitude is the differentiator in life and makes any situation, no matter how challenging, easier. We know you'll be helping raise our kids, so alignment on parenting is important to us.
(Your) Consistency, cleanliness, and timeliness also matter to us. We're looking for a gentle yet firm leader who has strong emotional regulation and will thrive with all four kiddos in your care. Steadfast but adaptable. Playful & fun but serious when needed.
We're on 5 acres in Rathdrum, about 5 minutes off the Garwood exit, just north of Hayden. Our only "pet" is a moose who visits occasionally to drink from our fountain - four kids keep us plenty busy!
If this sounds like your kind of family, we'd love to hear from you.
