A little bit about us…

Hello! I work in the office 3 days a week and I need help with in-home childcare for my infant (Owen, born 11/24/23). My husband works from home 5 days a week, so to start, we may only need about 10 hours of nanny care per week. Hours may increase as baby gets older and his daily needs increase.

We have another son (Levi, 8 years old) who doesn’t need nannying. We also have two dogs, so we prefer a nanny who doesn’t mind pets.

Light housekeeping (dishes, baby laundry) would be nice.

We live in a forested area in the Santa Cruz mountains, which is quite nice for outdoor walks and playtime at the local park with baby :)

A little bit about us…

I may be way ahead of the game but starting to think about nanny share options in the area starting Jan 2024 - baby due August 2023. If anyone else is a planner like I am would like to sync or if care providers roles are expiring early next year would love to connect!

Thinking it might be three days a week - days flexible, about 8-9 hours a day, our house is flexible with backyard area too! We do have a friendly dog.
