A little bit about us…

Hi,

I work from home and my husband splits his work time between home and an office in Hartford. Our son, Chase, just turned 4. My mother is currently watching him for us from 9-5 four days a week. We are currently looking for a great nanny to care for Chase at our home two days a week so that we can gain 1 more day of coverage and my mother can cut back to 3 days.

Also, my husband and I are pregnant with our second child who’s due early-October. I will have about three months off work when she’s born and then I will go back to work.

Whenever you’re ready to start it would be part time guaranteed 2 days per week plus whatever works for both parties for extra babysitting/extra days etc. In October when our baby girl is born there’s opportunity to add more days with Chase and/or help out with the baby.

Ideally, we're looking for someone that could work and grow with us long-term dependent upon your needs and ours.

Cheers,
Kristina

A little bit about us…

We have a 1 year old daughter who is an absolute joy - we are looking for a nanny share for part time hours during the week (and would be willing to join in with someone who has a full time nanny). If we are hosting, the only need we have is the care of our daughter - no housekeeping or otherwise required.

A little bit about us…

Our 9 year old daughter needs enrichment after activities this summer (or school during the school year). During the summer we may need a nanny from 9am-6pm occasionally, and one weekend about twice a month (or less). During the school year we need after school care from 3:30pm - 6pm (local pick up and drop off on two days). A shared nanny with a similar aged child would be ideal for study time and some play 3 - 4 days per week would be ideal. We are still figuring out our needs but are proactively seeking a like minded family to share a high quality educational nanny. The schedule is subject to change once more details and structure can be firmed up. Open to thoughts and suggestions!
