A little bit about us…

My husband and I are expecting our first child in May 2023. We will be looking for a part time nanny to provide care in our home 2-3 days/week with the potential for rare/occasional weekend days starting in September 2023. Hours would likely be 6:30a-6:30p depending on our schedules come September. We’re looking for someone with newborn/infant experience who will help create and stick to feeding/sleeping schedules as they develop, someone who is comfortable with small dogs, and someone with schedule flexibility who will be essentially an extension of our little family. We have an 18 lb 1.5 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who would need to be let out a couple times during the day but requires no other significant care. We’re looking for some to become essentially an extension of our family. We both look forward to speaking with you!

A little bit about us…

We are looking for a nanny for our 2 girls under 2, in our home in Pembroke. We recently started them full time daycare when I went back to work 2 weeks ago but we honestly prefer the at home experience as we kept our oldest out of full time daycare for almost a year. The girls are 11. 5 months apart so basically like twins with the youngest being almost 4 months old. She is super smiley! Our oldest is also super sweet and smart, and running around all over the place. She loves dancing with me in the kitchen (I spend almost all my free time in the kitchen and love it). We have a room completely set up for kids on the main floor so perfect for playing or even if you need to put them down for a moment its set up for that. There is even a changing space and chair which really helps not having to run upstairs constantly for diapers. The room is right off the kitchen so you can still keep an eye on them while also getting stuff done, this room is probably my husbands most brilliant moment yet and my favorite room in the house! :) Looking for a little additional help with small things like unloading the dishwasher, wiping down counters, a load of the girls laundry, etc. I love to cook so not looking for someone to cook or shop but if I forget to take something out of the freezer I may text you to ask you to take something out for me or keep an eye on the Crock pot, or throw the casserole in the oven for me. We have a dog named Tikka, he spends most of his time outside. We have 7. 5 acres (also great for spending time outside with the girls) so there is plenty of space for him to run around outside. We also have a "barn" cat named Mango and she lives in the garage and prefers to be a little huntress you can see her prowling all over the yard, she may even leave you a little present from time to time. She is a HUGE love bug! We are looking for an 8-5 type schedule Mon-Fri and once a month a little later so we can have 1 date night a month.
