A little bit about us
Our son is happy, curious, and very active—he thrives with hands-on care and engaging, milestone-appropriate activities. He is fairly easy, as babies go, so in addition to childcare, we'd love help with vegetarian meal prep, laundry, and keeping the house tidy.
We are very organized and particular (or OCI—Obsessive Compulsive Improvements, as we like to call it), and are looking to work with a nanny who is reliable, proactive, and excited to be part of our family’s rhythm. We are also looking for someone with a willingness to learn–NOT just do what they are familiar with. Kaliaan is our first son, so we are learning along the way and like to try different methods; IDEALLY you are someone that will engage to support those choices.
The role will start as part time, but if you have the patience and schedule your hours could increase. Ideally, our nanny will also be open to work the occasional date night and adjusting schedules as requested during a given work day.
We do not have the home capacity at this time to offer a live-in arrangement.
Requirements:
- Recent CPR training
- Reliable Transportation
- Willing to take care of Kaliaan and our home
- Non-smoker
Preferred Qualifications:
- Current vaccinations
- Car
- CPR certification
