A little bit about us…

Hello, we are a family in Arlington searching for part-time care. I work in the office twice per month (the second and fourth Wednesdays) and am searching for a nanny I can share with another family, or someone interested in part-time. The hours on these days would be 2:30-6:30. My son will need to be picked up from school at 2:30, and my daughter walks from the bus stop next to our home at 4:10. We have two cats. The kids are fun, have enjoyed going out and doing things in town with our previous nanny and otherwise are pretty low-maintenance. Consistency is the most important thing, as I must have care on these days. Additionally, I may like to utilize services for occasional date nights or appointments if available.

A little bit about us…

We are looking for a part-time nanny (25-30 hours) or full-time nanny share (40 hours) to help provide care for our infant when returning to work. We are seeking someone to begin in March 2024 (flexible start to as late as April), when our child is approximately 4 months old. Hours are relatively flexible and we would work with our nanny or nanny share family to figure out an optimal schedule. In an ideal world, our daughter would go to the other family's home in a nanny share or we would bring her to the nanny's home given that both my husband and I work from home, but we are flexible and could host at our home as needed all/some days.

A little bit about us…

Hi we are moving to the area in two weeks for the military. We plan on being there one year. My husband is an airline guy so sometimes he is home and sometimes he is on the road so our schedules vary, but the kids are very social and we want them to play with others.

He is usually gone on average about 2 weeks out of the month, but it changes all the time. I will be working in the city and might have some late nights.

Ideally we would be at our house in case I am late, but we are open to going to someone else's house if they are okay with them staying sometimes past 5.
