A little bit about us…

Hi! We are looking for a part-time nanny to care for our 9mo baby girl! Hopefully for many years to come, we would love to build a lasting relationship w someone. Ideally we’d like a nanny for 14hrs a week 9-4 Wednesday and Thursday.

I myself was a nanny for two boys from the time they were born til they were 8yo and 10yo. Those boys have now become what I refer to as my nephews. I know how special the bond is between child and caretaker and I hope to be able to find that special relationship for my daughter.
