A little bit about us…

Hello! My name Is Christa, my husband recently took a job several hours away, and I’m I a full time service member. My 10 year old son is a ball of energy, his name is Christian. My 6 year old girl is Evelyn and is very sweet and nurturing. They are in before and after care for school which ends at 4:30pm. We also have 2 year old girl Trinity, who is currently in day care but once we hire a full time live nanny that will be her daily care. Nanny would get $[phone number hidden] a monthly. My husband’s new job hours and me working full time in Oceanside really puts a strain on the kids. We are on a budget and have a 5th bedroom for our LIVE in nanny to have her own space and private bathroom. It is fully furnished with a queen size bed. All utilities, internet and a car are available. However nanny would need to be in charge of their own car insurance. Nanny would have to be ok with watching 3 kids and picking the old 2 up from school as well as taking our kids to their soccer and ballet practice. Also working on their holiday days off(only the days my husband and I don’t get off, we get off federal Holidays). Nanny would have every Friday afternoon, Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning off.
We have a dog. He has a lot of energy and gets very excited when people come to the door.
I don’t except the nanny to clean the house just pick up after the children, so their toys and food. We have a pool and don’t mind the children getting in fully supervised. We are looking for someone to work Monday thru Thursday from 5am to around 6:30 pm. They would only need to take the kids to school on Friday. My husband has Fridays off but works second shift so he doesn’t get home until 4am and would need to sleep for a little while. On Mondays my husband would take the kids to school and doesn’t need to leave for work until 11am. I’m active duty military and work full time. My job is an hour away and we need someone that can be there for the kids when we both are so far away.
