A little bit about us…

We are two hard-working, hard-playing, and fun-loving parents in our mid-to-late thirties looking for a full- or part-time (3 days a week preferably, full days) nanny for our baby boy. Our schedules are generally 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (but we can be somewhat flexible here) and are open to either a nanny share situation or to have someone come to our house to watch our little guy. We live in town and just ask that our child care person have CPR, First Aid, reliable transportation, experience with infants, ability to communicate openly and honestly, a strong sense of responsibility, and a fun and caring disposition. We love our little human and hope to find someone who will add to his network of love while allowing us parents to keep our careers!
