A little bit about us
Hi! So occasionally I need to go out of town and I am looking for someone that could help look after my boys while I'm gone. I have super high standards and as you can see a lot of requirements are checked off, but essentially this would be a pretty laid back and easy job. My kids are older 9.5 & 12, they really don't require much, and are actually pretty self sufficient, but obviously they can't just be left alone while I'm out of town
During the day they attend school and after school programs or summer camp depending on the time of year. As of now they have no weekend activities (sports), but that may change.
I would need someone to help with getting them to their bus stop or school in the AM and picking them from their afterschool care in the PM & making sure they: do chores, eat, do homework, shower, go to bed on time etc. As well as care for them on the weekends.
I'm not really looking to pay hourly, DM me for more info
Please include flat rate quotes with your message (weekly/monthly) & any questions.
SAMPLE Schedule:
Monday - Friday
7:00am wake up
7:45-8am drop off at school or bus stop
|
5:30-5:45pm pick up from community center
6:00pm make sure they eat (no later than 7pm), check homework, chores, read, exercise, free time
8:00 shower time
8:30-8:45 bedtime
Saturday - Sunday
- They need to read for at least 30 minutes and write about it
-They need to make sure all they chores are done
- They pretty much will be free to play video games or on their phone, BUT it would be nice if you planned something (park, basketball, board games, walking etc)
- Last meal by 7pm
- Make sure they shower
To sum it up, your main functions are: provide transportation, make sure they eat & just be a body in the room. They'll do the rest.

Who: 1 year old boy, 3 year old girl, 5.5 year old boy
What: We need someone in the mornings to help get the kids up and ready for school, fed breakfast, and lunches made. My husband leaves for work early in the morning and I typically have morning work calls that can sometimes start at 6am, so I need someone who is okay to arrive early. A plus if you're willing to drive the kids to school - likely one of the days. The kids need to be at school by 9am. The other morning hours when the kids are at school would be filled with some light housework (laundry, kitchen clean up, meal prep, etc.).
We are hoping to find someone who is fluent in Spanish.
We are a laid back and welcoming family to work for. We enjoy getting to know your family/children as well. Looking forward to meeting you!!

Weekdays: We can offer flexibility for someone looking for an adjustable schedule, but we need help 2-3 afternoons a week between Monday and Thursday, every week.
Pay: $25/hr (with first pay increase to $28/hr after the first 6 weeks based on job-well-done) + irs standard mileage rate + 2 weeks paid vacation (based on hours/week), to be paid via proper payroll over-the-table, guaranteed hours.
Primary requirements: 2+ years experience. Preference to someone who can drive our kids in their vehicle with insurance, must have drivers license, safe driving record (no accidents in last 3 years), pass background check, cpr-certified, references preferred
Job duration: we are ready to hire! Looking for someone immediately and through the end of the school year, preference to someone who is looking to stay with us through summer. We will still need your help in the next school year but will be adjusting hours as our youngest levels up into kindergarten (full time school).
During the school year - you will pick up the youngest from preschool at 12:50 then pick up the oldest from elementary school (1:10 on early release days at 2:25 on other days). After school pickups, kids get a snack and just do kid things! No homework yet but they enjoy going to playgrounds or playing at home until dinner. Occasionally they may have scheduled activities that you could take them to if my husband or I are unavailable. The kids will not need to be transported outside of NW Ballard (unless otherwise agreed ahead of time). Minimal cleanup will be required, just picking up after preparing snacks, putting away backpacks/coats/shoes, picking up any toys they play with while you are with them, and folding and putting away their clean laundry (ideally you will get them involved and make sure they put away clothes in their drawers).

The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.

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.
