A little bit about us…

We have a 16 month old girl, 7 year old boy and a 5 year old girl. I’m looking for someone to start part-time watching the baby M-F from 8-3 and eventually will need M-F 8-6. My two older kids take the bus home and arrive around 3pm. They would need care for just a few hours in the afternoon. Responsibilities would be the kids first and foremost which includes meal prep and activities. Light cleaning of the kitchen and maybe basic meal prep so I can cook dinner when we get home from work. There would be no pick up or drop off.

A little bit about us…

Looking for an outgoing and energetic live-out, part-time nanny to start ASAP. We have a super sweet and active little boy who is just about 14months. I'm looking to increase my hours at work in a couple of months and want to get to know someone before then.

A little about us: I am a veterinarian and my husband works in the Bering Sea--deadliest catch-esque (2months on/2 months off). We have two very well trained border-collies and a horse. Hubs loves deep sea fishing and desert trips (Baja, glamis etc). I love being a mama, riding my horse, wine, and tagging along for my husband's adventures.

Currently: T/W/Th 8:00am-2:00pm flexible additional days if needed.
**I'd like to increase to 4x/week 8-5pm this summer (no weekends unless we coordinate something together). I'm happy to work together and adjust for the right person.

A few baby-related chores (clean up after meals, light laundry, pick up toys).
