Monday and Friday: arrive at 5:45 am (when I leave for work). Get the boys breakfast and ready for school/daycare. Leave house about 8:30 am to drop off boys, done by about 9:30. Back for after school pick up! Pick up the oldest at school at 4 pm, then the two youngest from daycare. Home for play, dinner, bath, and bedtime. Friday night is always pizza night, so really easy, and Monday night is usually grilled cheese and soup. Nothing fancy! I get home from the hospital between 8:30 and 9 pm. Yes, it is a split shift, but it will be consistent hours until school is out in June. Looking for someone very dependable who loves the energy of little boys! In addition to the boys, we have three small dogs who will mostly be napping, but will need to be let out a few times during the time you are here.

A little bit about us…

Hi there!

We are the Taylor family live near Del Ray, Alexandria with our two toddler girls. We look forward to meeting you!

We are looking for a nanny to care for our 4 year old and 2 year old daughters. They love to read, play outside, swim, dance like a ballerina, and pick flowers! The 4 year old is potty trained and attends preschool 3 mornings/week so most of your time would be with the 2 year old.

The ideal nanny would naturally love to be with children, take initiative in coming up with fun ideas of things to do (crafts, singing, reading, library trips, going to the playground or on other adventures). In addition, being comfortable in the kitchen is a necessity, as the nanny would be expected to prep healthy lunches and snacks for our daughter, as well as prep occasional simple dinners for the family.

Other tasks may include grocery runs, folding laundry, kitchen cleanup, sweeping/vacuuming, and in general - picking up around the house.

The ideal candidate must have a few years of childcare experience, a genuine love for children, strong references and reliable transportation.

We would provide paid federal holidays plus 7 paid vacation days per year. We look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about us…

Mom works about 6-7 night shifts per month and Dad works in Bethesda weekdays business hours. The most important thing we need is a nanny who is confident with safe drop-off and pick-up from schools, Lunch packing for the next day, and to start the evening routine of kids bath and dinner if Mom is not home. The nanny will not be responsible for deep cleaning because we will have a scheduled cleaning service. We would love, however, help keeping kid's room tidy and help with laundry and keeping track of pantry supplies/organization during downtime when possible.

Nanny would have their own room and attached full bath, free street parking and gas card/groceries covered. Vacation Time off is flexible as long as we have a little notice. Mom's work schedule is available 3 months in advance.

The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in Alexandria. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions , it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.
