A little bit about us…

We are a hard-working dual-career family in Sterling, VA, ready to call in reinforcements after making a valiant attempt at independently weaving home, work, and family. With the white flag waved, we seek a full-time nanny for our bustling toddler. Our ideal candidate is dependable, creative, and adaptable, willing to grow long-term with us throughout our daughter's early childhood. Preferably nanny duties will be combined with some light housekeeping chores, small errands, and meal preparation during the day. Regular housekeeping is employed separately.
We are within walking distance of many activities, parks, and outdoor spaces but will require some driving to activities. We request that candidates have an active and valid VA driver's license and a reliable vehicle that is current on all inspections. We will reimburse gas, tolls, etc., expensed during working hours.
This will be our first experience with a nanny and steady assistance. Still, we are experienced in independent employment basics, labor laws, and the simple rule of "treat others the way you want to be treated."

A little bit about us…

We have a 21 months old boy who loves being around and playing with people. He enjoys playing with cars, Lego, playdoh, and loves being outdoors.

We don’t offer him much screen time until it’s absolutely necessary, which makes it a bit difficult to get stuff done around the house.
My husband’s job is very demanding giving him little time to spend with him at home. I run a small home based business, but do have some work/exhibitions from time to time - help around that time esp would be wonderful.
We don’t need childcare on a daily basis, but some days a week would be fine. Availability on some weekend nights would be a bonus.

Job responsibilities would be to be with him and help out with his meals. If he’s napping, help with some light house work would also be appreciated (of course it would also be paid for.) Pickup/drop off won’t be necessary as of now.
