We’re looking for someone with open availability for:
• Date nights, primarily on weekends
• Days when he’s off from school — he typically has at least 2 days off per month and has winter and summer break, hours will typically be from 9 AM–4 PM
This would be a part-time opportunity, and we’re hoping to find someone who is dependable and interested in building a consistent relationship with our family.
If you’re interested, please reach out! We’d love to connect and meet you! 😊

We're a close-knit family with two wild, wonderful 4-year-old twins in Goose Hollow, and we're looking for someone just as enthusiastic about life as they are. Fair warning: this job involves mud, glitter, and possibly both at the same time.
A typical week is mostly out and about: gymnastics, swim and art classes where you're in the mix cheering and wrangling, plus parks, nature trails and children's museums, all by bus and MAX. You'll need to be very comfortable getting two little ones around town. At home it's screen-free: sensory bins, watercolors, cardboard forts, books and crafts, plus light meal prep and tidying. If you think finger painting is beneath you, this probably isn't the ideal role. 😹
Our twins are rough-and-tumble with big imaginations and even bigger feelings. Right now they're into mermaids, monster trucks, dinosaurs, unicorns and horses, and their love language is pizza + milk. 🍕🥛 We're looking for someone lighthearted but firm (think Mary Poppins 🎠) who can keep up physically, stay calm when things get loud (and they will), and appreciate a really good made-up story about dinosaurs + mermaids. Potty-training experience is a must, since we're working on it.
We have a friendly medium-sized dog at home, so please mention any allergies, but there's no dog care involved. Twin or homeschool experience is a big plus, but a genuine love of this age and energy level matters most, along with a positive attitude, reliability, and a commitment through June 2027. CPR/First Aid certification or willingness to get certified, clean background check, strong references, valid driver's license + current proof of auto insurance required. 🌼

We have a dog and a cat so you'd need to be comfortable with pets. No meal prep necessary, but some light housekeeping if baby gets down for a nap would be appreciated! We understand that's not always possible.
Hoping to find someone who loves caring for infants, can help her meet her developmental goals, and help her get fresh air during the day. Also would love to find a family for a nanny share with similarly aged childcare needs!

We are looking for someone who can come to our place in the Cedar Mill neighborhood.
We are looking for people who respect and love babies and can manage their emotions when the baby cries or gets upset. We don't believe in punishment, but we do hold good boundaries. We don't believe in letting babies cry it out alone; instead, we hold a loving space for them and their emotions.
Azure does very well with other kids and pets, so we've had success with people who bring them to the nanny session with Azure.

Catalina (a Registered Nurse) & Elliot (a Carpenter) work away from home while Eric (Graphic Designer) & Olivia (Art Director) work from home. The plan is for the kids to be taken care of at Catalina and Elliot’s house with the convenience of Eric and Olivia being available for emergencies one house away.
Here are some things to note of Catalina and Elliot’s house. They have a very friendly Mini AussieDoodle named Caper 🐕 who will be present in the house while caring for our girls. Caper is used to staying home by herself for full work days but when someone is home with her she asks to be let out a couple times a day into our fully fenced yard. All that you will need to do is open the door when she asks and then let her back in again when she returns to the door. The house is equipped with heat/air-conditioning and a covered deck just off the kitchen. Some light housework should be done, essentially putting the house back together as it was a the start of the day (ie. activities put away, laundry in basket, bottles in dishwasher, etc.).
