I can go over everything with you once we connect.
oh you need to be able to drive too.
He can be very hyper due to having ADHD
He has recently started a med to slow him down. He's 5 with learning delays and has a low spectrum autism. He has a speech and growth disorder, so he's short for his age and he has some food allergies. Has epilepsy too but hasn't had any problems with it for some time.
Needing someone that's very dependable. Thats been approved by the state. Like in child care centers where the state pays your wages.
Nothing to difficult. Please reach out to me if you're interested or know of anyone.
Thank you.

A little bit about us
We're Matt and Verdi Spark. First time parents to a bouncing baby girl (at the time of editing this profile she is 5 weeks).
We're looking to find a part-time nanny who can begin working on Sept 24th. The hours would be 10am to 5pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
A little about the household: M commutes to a FT job M-F, and V owns her own business in town. We also have 2 small dogs (under 15lbs), 2 cats, and 2 birds. There is no expected care for them involved because the dogs will be either be coming with V to work, or V would come home at lunch, but hopefully you don’t have an aversion to the pets.
Our ideal person is someone down to earth, friendly, patient, has their own car, has CPR and First Aid certifications, a few years experience with newborn care, and overall someone who loves their job. We would hope to find someone who can help maintain the routine we've been working on establishing with our nb, but are open to collaboration.
If this describes you, we would love to set up a time to meet over coffee/tea and see if we are a good fit for each other.
Thank you!
Verdi & Matt Spark

We are working on walking and already have lots to say via sign language and talking. We are looking for a vetted, qualified and down to earth nanny who can provide the love, guidance and care for our baby while we work during the day.

No pick up/transportation required other than travel to our residence. Willing to start at $20/hr with potential to increase hourly rate over time.

A little bit about us
We are flexible in how we get our care needs met, but have very few hours to offer so a share with another family would likely be best. Starting in January 2025 we will need care Thursdays from 8:30a-6:00p. We have family coverage on Fri/Sat but would like to have backup lined up. Summers will come with slight changes.
Our home is open for care, but we have a senior dog and cat and we understand if that’s not optimal for carer or other families (about them: 15 yo, sweet and lazy mini aussie mix and 15 yo shorthair, both completely ignore the baby other than a sniff if he’s stinky or doing floor time, and manage their own outside time during the day with a doggy door). With that, we are open to considering care outside our home as well.
We are also open to swap equivalent weekly care with another family and are available Tues, Wed, and Sun. Both parents CPR certified and have worked with children in various capacities pre-parenthood, though we are not childcare professionals. If this is something we find ourselves in, care would be provided by mom, Stephanie, but dad, Luke is also home on Sundays. As far as expectations, we believe in minimal screen time for our child and also for us when he is awake, and getting outside at least once per day in all weather.
We would expect our caregiver to be active in our child’s development, be trained for emergencies (we are willing to cover cost of infant CPR/First Aid training), and have a car and be a safe and legal driver to allow for adventures/emergencies outside the home.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Tacoma, WA
Before you start looking for a nanny job, it's essential to learn about the different types of nannies and how they compare to each other so that you make sure you’re looking for the right opportunities.
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. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.
There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. 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 Tacoma. 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.
