A little bit about us

I am seeking a reliable, flexible, and caring nanny to care for my three children. This is ideally a live-in position. You would have your own bedroom, bathroom, and sitting area. My children are ages 21, 16, and 12. Your responsibilities would include pickups/drop-offs, homework help, schedule management, and grocery shopping. Because my kids are older, their homework has become more challenging. Therefore, a college degree is required. In addition, we ask that you help with meal preparation and clean up. The kids are smart, active, and good-spirited! They enjoy swimming, outdoor activities and art.

A little bit about us

We have 2 active boys. One is 8 and the other is 5.

The 5 year old has some special needs (Epilepsy & he is also on spectrum-Autism ) Where he requires extra attention.

For now, I mainly need help during the week in the afternoon/early evening. Many days our oldest has sports or other activities and it would be nice to have some one around; so that one of us can give attention to him. Helping with snack, homework and getting ready to go to his activities.

This way the other one of us can always keep an eye on our younger one. He is interested in a lot and can be impulsive at times. He is very quick! Therefor, helping him come in and have a snack, and move onto whatever his next activity will be would be great.

During the week, I'm a bit flexible on the hours.
Ex:
M 1pm-6pm & T-F 2pm-6pm

Occasionally different times on weekends would be helpful. That way, I can go watch more of my oldest's games.

Also, we're always in need of a date night sitter too.
