Hi! Our sweet baby boy will turn 1 in September and I will be going back to my work in education. I work September- June and ideally would like to build out a 10-month contract for that time-frame (summer off), continuing if possible. How great would it be if you were in the same boat!?
We are open to hosting or sharing in hosting a nanny share.
Ideally you have a child in the same age-range as ours and share in similar parenting styles. We are an active, healthy family and like to provide opportunities each day to be in nature and interact with a variety of stimuli. It’s important to us to find a nanny with experience and knowledge of child developmental stages and best practices. We are looking for someone who engages and provides a structure with lots of stimulating age-appropriate activities.
Please reach out if it sounds like we might be a good fit for both our needs!

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 Seattle. 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.
