A little bit about us…

We are looking for someone to help care for our 3 month old starting in August 2022. We both work in schools and will need childcare upon returning for the school year. We have a small dog who loves to cuddle and live near many trails, parks, and the library for activities during the day. We would love to find someone who has experience with infants but most of all is loving and trustworthy.

We need care Monday-Fridays 7:30-4:30. Job expectations would include care for the bay, some light housekeeping (e.g washing cloth diapers, emptying dishwasher) and letting the dog out into the backyard.

A little bit about us…

Hi, my name is Ari. My wife and I have a sweet, funny toddler on the autism spectrum. We are looking for a helper who can engage our son in home and on outings. Whether it's the playground, accompanying us to fun outings, or appointments for speech and Occupational Therapy, we'd love a *reliable,* warm person who can help us teach him new social skills, work on tasks he is learning in therapy, and eventually RECC (preschool program).

Other tasks include changing diapers, helping enforce potty training principles, playing, coloring, etc. Ideally, you'll generally earn his trust and affection just by having fun.

Helpers experienced with autistic toddlers, or who are willing to learn in continuing education is a major plus. Someone patient enough with a speech delay and ASL signs, (in tandem with words) is also a major plus. He also loves sitting in laps (and honestly, our little black cat does too).

We are looking for someone who will engage him and find things to do with him that he will enjoy. We also have two cats, so must be comfortable with pets. We may occasionally need pick up/drop off to speech, OT, or eventually RECC, but the job is more about helping my wife juggle all the tasks day to day with our son and help us in the recommended at-home work to help our son reach his milestones, both verbal and occupational in nature.

Our son is generally a calm, happy boy, but also gets overwhelmed and frustrated when someone is too energetic, noisy, or too in his face. The ideal candidate is someone who knows when to speak softly, give a hug, or just give him some space as needed to meet his more introverted personality. Hours and days are flexible. We are an easygoing family with a reasonable sick leave and vacation policy, but commitment to showing up without excessive unexpected absences is a must.

Can't wait to meet you! 🤗

Hi! I have three lively little fun-loving girls. I am a wedding photographer looking for help on Saturdays when my husband and I are away shooting weddings. I am searching for someone who is comfortable driving my kids around to the library, playground, or other locations. We don't do a lot of TV in our house, but rather encourage our kids to play outside or read, or play with them! We'd be looking for someone who can "be a part of our family" as you'd be spending a lot of precious time with our kids.

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 Columbia. 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.
