A little bit about us…

First time parents to a sassy and spunky baby boy! Would need someone to come M-F for a few hours (hours can be determined with candidate on what works best) while mom works at home. Also seeking candidates who are open to a Nanny share with a neighbor who has a 3 month old and 2 year old!

Ideal candidate would be extremely reliable, an excellent communicator, and would have a lot of experience with infants (baby will be 5 months old) - patient, and caring, lots of engagement and play, working on milestones, going out for walks, sticking to a play and nap schedule, etc. I would be working from home so I would always be around for extra help! 😊 no feeding or cleaning or chores required! (Cat friendly household)

A little bit about us…

We are looking for a nanny to take care of our son who will be 5 months old in January (when we will need care to begin). We have been very lucky in that he is a really good-natured baby. Mom works pretty much full time from home, typically going into the office a couple of days a month. Dad works from home two days a week (currently Monday and Tuesday, but that can be changed if needed) and is in the office the remainder of the week. We each have a dedicated office (mom upstairs and dad downstairs). We also have an incredibly friendly 10-year-old shepherd mix who enjoys going in and out to our fenced in backyard. We are not looking for much in the way of additional responsibilities, cleaning bottles if time permits would be great, and if you can let the dog out/in periodically, that would also be appreciated. We are also very interested in an opportunity for a nanny share.
