A little bit about us…

I have two awesome kids that my husband and I are looking for a nanny for. They are currently in preschool and my son gets out at 1:00 pm. I work from 8-5 Monday through Friday in Virginia Beach and my husband works 7-3:30 in Newport News. We do have two dogs one is deaf so he’s very quite and chill while the other one is the complete opposite and very energetic so we would need someone who is comfortable around dogs. Not looking for anything extra other than watching the kids and keeping them happy, you wouldn’t need to clean or anything like that. The only cooking would be for the kids lunches and yourself.

Our main need is someone who can pick my son up from school at 1:00 and lay him down for a nap when he gets home then watch him till roughly 4:30 when my husband gets home. The school follows Chesapeake school system so there will be days he will need someone to watch him from 8-4:30. If holidays match up with my daughters school there may occasionally be days that we would need someone to watch both kids.
