A little bit about us

Hello! We are seeking a part time nanny (15-20 hrs/week) for our 2.5 year old daughter by the end of September/early October.

It’s really important for us to find someone who meshes well with our family and values. We’re a biracial home, advocates, and allies. We are located in NE Grand Rapids- Creston area. Our last nanny family felt like extended family to us, and we’re really hoping to find another magical match!

A little about what we’re looking for: A part time nanny that has the ability/willingness to care for our child at their home (assuming it’s kid friendly), and possibly have kids of their own she can play with. As an alternative, an in home nanny but we unfortunately don’t have a yard and our daughter spends a lot of time outside, and just in general enjoys getting out of the house. We also have pets and wouldn’t be able to accommodate other children in our home (since I would be in and out of the house working). A potential SAHM looking for part time work (aka super human!) may be a good fit, as this was our last nanny arrangement.

Engagement/Care: We’re looking for someone with a desire to spend lots of time outdoors, fostering her imagination and curiosity. Montessori style teaching/engagement activities- she loves art, building materials, helping bake/cook, movement, etc. Outings each week in the community together- local parks, Frederick Meijer Garden, library, etc (we would provide $ for her). Socializing with other children, etc.

Hours: My husband works full time M-F in office. My hours and timing for childcare vary each week depending on my work meetings. Childcare hrs vary 15-20 per week, between M-TH (usually between the hrs of 9:30am and 4:30pm). I typically send my schedule out the week prior for the upcoming week. I provide transportation for drop off/pickup.

Think you might be a good fit? We’d love to hear from you!

We are eager to find the right fit for a November start date so below is a brief overview of what we are looking for & standard questions we would have..

Experience, safety credentials, and family alignment to care for our Harlow would be top priority.

1. Safety, Health, and Emergencies
- "Are your CPR and First Aid certifications up to date?"
- "Can you walk me through exactly how you would handle an allergic reaction or medical emergency?"

2. Daily Routine and Activities
- "What are your preferred methods for sleep training or naptime soothing?"
- "What does a typical day with a child my child's age look like?"

4. Logistics and Household Management
- "Are you comfortable with child-related chores like washing bottles, children's laundry, and tidying up play areas?"
- "Do you have a clean driving record, and are you comfortable driving our child if necessary?"
- "How much schedule flexibility do you have if our work day runs late or has a schedule change?"

We are located in Creston, just north of downtown GR (Knapp & Plainfield). Dad works in Holland, I am 100% remotely working from the home. We have one family dog Rizzo (English Springer Spaniel) who is beyond friendly & quite the lazy city dog. Enclosed backyard, comfortable deck, & neighbor strolls are where we choose to spend most of our time right now. Looking for 9-5 or 8-4, slightly flexible start & end times. I am very open to your preferences in working with a WFH parent.

Sleep training will be a new concept for us around this time. Breastfeeding & supplementing with formula currently, and hope to have our feeding journey sorted out in the next month. (Happy to discuss further.)

Do you have any non-negotiables? Would you be okay with a full background check? Preferred contract or style of agreement? Preferred hours, pay, sick/time off? Are you looking for a long term position?
