A little bit about us…

We are a family of three with a dog and looking for a part time nanny for our toddler. It will be one to two days a week during the weekdays. We are flexible with which days.

For the right person, we'd be interested in transitioning the position to full time (Monday - Friday) starting next year.

Care for our toddler while we are working, including feeding, snacking, napping, driving to activities, kids laundry, tidying up after our toddler, potty training, reading, playing, etc.

Someone who is tidy and clean, proactive with what needs to be done and have an easy going personality would be a good fit for our family.
