A little bit about us…

My wife and I have two daughters, a 2.5 year old and a 9 month old who love to play and dance! This job would be for the 9 month old only. Typical hours will be 9 AM - 2PM Monday - Friday and would start on January 3rd.

We're hoping to find someone who truly LOVES spending time with our daughter.

We'd love for our Nanny to enjoy planning activities for our daughter to do, she loves to keep busy! Outside of normal care for her, we hope the Nanny will use nap time to prep meals for our daughter, do our daughter's laundry and/or keep the areas utilized by our daughter and the Nanny clean!

We would like to find someone with experience with babies under one!

A little bit about us…

We are a homestead family of 3 humans, 5 chickens, 8 goats, 1 dog and bee hives. We want horses and to build out stables. We have neighbors, but there aren't many kids in the area. We probably won't have more children, but not opposed to it, just have our hands full with our 18 month old. He's "Curious George" personified and he needs a "Mary Poppins" or a "Mr. Rogers" to guide him in language and manners so that mom and papa can build out the property. We have 55 acres and would build you (open to two people) a log cabin. It's probably best for two people because it's remote. Loving environment.
