A little bit about us…

Monday and Friday: arrive at 5:45 am (when I leave for work). Get the boys breakfast and ready for school/daycare. Leave house about 8:30 am to drop off boys, done by about 9:30. Back for after school pick up! Pick up the oldest at school at 4 pm, then the two youngest from daycare. Home for play, dinner, bath, and bedtime. Friday night is always pizza night, so really easy, and Monday night is usually grilled cheese and soup. Nothing fancy! I get home from the hospital between 8:30 and 9 pm. Yes, it is a split shift, but it will be consistent hours until school is out in June. Looking for someone very dependable who loves the energy of little boys! In addition to the boys, we have three small dogs who will mostly be napping, but will need to be let out a few times during the time you are here.

A little bit about us…

Hi there!

We are the Taylor family live near Del Ray, Alexandria with our two toddler girls. We look forward to meeting you!

We are looking for a nanny to care for our 4 year old and 2 year old daughters. They love to read, play outside, swim, dance like a ballerina, and pick flowers! The 4 year old is potty trained and attends preschool 3 mornings/week so most of your time would be with the 2 year old.

The ideal nanny would naturally love to be with children, take initiative in coming up with fun ideas of things to do (crafts, singing, reading, library trips, going to the playground or on other adventures). In addition, being comfortable in the kitchen is a necessity, as the nanny would be expected to prep healthy lunches and snacks for our daughter, as well as prep occasional simple dinners for the family.

Other tasks may include grocery runs, folding laundry, kitchen cleanup, sweeping, and in general - picking up around the house.

The ideal candidate must have a few years of childcare experience, a genuine love for children, strong references and reliable transportation.

We would provide paid federal holidays plus 10 paid vacation days per year. We look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about us…

Looking for a full time nanny for our 2 under 2 (8mos and 1.5yrs). Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm. Looking for a loving and trustworthy personality to care for our son and daughter. Baby laundry, serving meals, keeping to nap time and feeding schedules while finding creative entertainment outlets that aren’t limited to television required. Ability to help with lift housework and meal prep a bonus but not required. Both children are active and loving. Must be able to pass a background check. Car is not required but we don’t live close to public transportation so reliable ability to come and from work on time a must. No transportation responsibilities for kids; care will be centered around the home. Ample parking, plenty of green spaces and a playground within walking distance of our home. We have a very low maintenance dog, so animal lovers a plus. My husband and I both work during the day and our current nanny recently gave her notice so actively and aggressively looking for a replacement.

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.

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 Alexandria. 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.
