A little bit about us…

We're expecting a baby boy in late December 2023, and we're hoping to start a nanny share when my mat leave ends in the spring (around mid-April 2024). We're near the Redondo area of Federal Way. I'd love someone with a drivers license, some kind of first aid/CPR certification, fully vaccinated. We are silly, musical, talkative parents. I look forward to hearing from you!

Baby boy born at the end of June is going to need 1 day a week, possibly sometimes 2, usually Thursday, sometimes a Friday. As it stands we won't need this until the end of September but that might change. May need additional hours as my wife returns to full time throughout the winter. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats in our house if that makes any difference. This is our first child so we really don't know how any of this works lol
