I work Monday to Friday 5AM to 4PM. I need someone that will do light house keeping, take out the dog if I need it, make sure all of the babies things are organized and clean, take care of the baby, play with her. I need someone that is comfortable with pets because I have one, even though she is the sweetest and won’t even bother you, I want you to feel good in my home and with my baby. I am not strict about anything. Just I want my baby in a safe, comfortable, happy environment and that is all I care about.

We have a sweet 11 month baby boy and are looking for someone to care for him 2-3 days a week; currently unsure of the specific days. We’re hoping to enroll in a weekly music class and possibly one other that we’d like our nanny to take him to.

Both my husband and I work from home right now but he’ll soon be going into the office a few days. It’s definitely a plus is you love dogs! We have a medium sized labradoodle.

A little bit about us…

My husband and I work full time and are looking for a full-time nanny for our 5-month-old son. Hours would be roughly 8:30a-5p Monday-Friday.

Our son is a sweet boy and loves walks, tummy time, and eating. We are working on establishing a nap schedule.

Nanny would be expected to provide own transportation, and we would prefer someone with a car so you and the baby can go to the library, park, etc. We would also require a nanny with first aid & CPR training. Light housework would be helpful but not required.

I work fully remotely and my husband works remotely a few days a week, so we would often be in the house as well. We have office spaces separate from where you would be.
