A little bit about us…

As of July, our kiddo is 2 mo old. We aren't 100% sure what we will be needing/wanting yet, if it will be nanny share or as needed babysitting to fill in some gaps. I go back to work part time Aug 1 (3 days a week) and then FT back in October. My partner is deciding if she wants to be more stay at home for the first year, and we have to navigate if that is feasible budget wise. Keeping all options open!

Main thing we would look for would be Wed/Fridays probably, mostly babysitting help, maybe some general house help like dishes/laundry. We also have a 1.5yr old "runt of the litter" 65lb Goldendoodle Shadow and she would either be home or at daycare.

My husband and I work full time as engineers from around 8-5:30 with some flexibility. We have an active 2year old boy and a 3 month old. We’d love to find a family or nanny with another little boy that could play with our oldest as he’s very social and they could help keep each other entertained. Very open to bringing to someone’s home, they don’t need to come to us. Andrew is a sweet but high energy kid who is just trying out a bunch of new words. Ian is a little cutie, loves to smile and working on rolling over.
