A little bit about us…

We have two young daughters (Hayden and Harper) and are currently looking to hire a part-time in-home nanny to care for our eldest (20 month old) while I am home taking care of our baby. We anticipate needing approximately 15 hours-per-week spread across 3 to 4 week days. There is a possibility that this position would transition into a part-time position with caring for both children.

Our older daughter Hayden delights in taking walks and playing in the park, reading books, and exploring. While our younger newborn enjoys naps, play mat time and other typical newborn activities.

We also have one pet in our home, a mini Australian Shepard dog. Therefore, the ideal nanny would be comfortable around dogs. He does have some anxiety around new people but turns into a teddy bear once he gets to know you.

Our ideal nanny would be able to juggle the challenge of caring for two young girls at different stages of growth, someone who loves children, has good attention to detail, and is trustworthy.

Please feel free to reach out if you are interested. We look forward to hearing back.
