My son is a sweet, high-energy child who needs individualized attention. He would benefit working with someone who has experience working with children who need extra support with self-regulation and social/emotional development. We are looking for a nanny who can work with him after Kindergarten each weekday (approximately 3pm to 6pm.) For example, we would love for you to read with him and do activities!

A little bit about us…

Hi families!
My husband, Finn Andersen, and I are looking for another family in the Greenwood/Crown Hill/Greenlake/Ballard/Fremont area to nanny share with beginning ideally in August. Our daughter will be 6 months old at that time, and we are looking for 40 hours of coverage per week. We are willing to either split homes or host full time.
A little about us:
-Penny is our first child, and her hobbies include giggling, eating, and crying to get out of tummy time. She is great at all three.
-Finn and I both work in tech sales - Finn remotely and I a few days a week in the office.
-Our hobbies have not changed much since having Penny: we love an early dinner in Ballard, walking to nearby breweries, and spending time with our awesome families who live in the area.
Hopefully a little about your family:
-You are a safety continuous family: everyone in the house is up to date on their vaccines
-You, too, just had your first child.
-You are looking for a nanny to start somewhere between July and August, so you want to dive head-on into the search by late June.

A little bit about us…

We are a mixed race couple living in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle. My husband works fully remote from home, and I am in office three days a week. We are welcoming our first child, a baby girl, in March. We will be raising our child bilingual as my husband was born in Zim/from South Africa and speaks Shona. A bonus would be for our nanny to know either Shona or someone that knows some Spanish (my husband is conversational in Spanish and I can understand a bit). We plan on continuing our lifestyle of traveling with baby girl, so there could be opportunity to travel with us in the future. She has family all over the world, and one of our first trips will be to the UK to visit relatives there. We are still working through start dates and days we would need a nanny.
