A little bit about us…

My family and I are looking for a part-time nanny.

My son is 3 as of February. He's in daycare full-time. My husband and I work full-time from home. We need someone a few days a week - after school and some weekends. Responsibilities are primarily taking care of our son with minor clean up (after meals, toys, etc). There may be some basic cooking and/or meal prep. No laundry or deep-cleaning. We're flexible on days/hours, but do require some weekends.

Our son is a very happy, funny little dude. He loves to read, talk, and anything to do with construction or fire trucks. He also likes to swim. You would need your own transportation.

A little bit about us…

My wife and I are looking for a nanny to watch our 4-month-old son, 3 days per week. Start day will 01/16/24.

My wife works from home and her day will sometimes start late or end early. For that reason, we won't require a full 8 hours on some days.

Also, because my wife will be home, there will be no other expected responsibilities outside of those focused on taking care of the baby.

We can work out a standard weekly salary based on $17-$20 per hour. Look forward to hearing from you!
