A little bit about us
I am a single mom of my 3 boys, Jude (13 years), Asher (8 years) and Elijah (3 years). I have an autoimmune disorder that causes unpredictable sick days and need full time help at this point in my life. I am looking for someone who can do more than just "watch" the kiddos, and would be a consistent and stable source of support for my family. Weekly needs would include school pick ups, evening routines, and house tidying. Weekend needs would include quality time with kids as well as daily routines upkeep. I do need someone who is able to show up both as a childcare helper and o some home management as well with me as a single mother. More detailed routines etc can be discussed via messaging.

A little bit about us
We are a warm, loving family seeking a part-time nanny to care for our one-year-old daughter and become a long-term presence in her life. Our daughter is a joyful, high-energy, curious little girl who loves to learn. She loves to read books, sing, dance, explore on walks, create art, and is constantly seeking to understand more. She is intuitive, observant, and thrives with positive energy and caregivers who genuinely enjoy interacting, teaching, and exploring with her.
We are looking for someone who naturally enjoys engaging with a curious, high-energy child and will foster her love of learning and confidence through play-based learning and hands-on engagement. Medical & Safety Note: Our daughter has a rare medical condition that requires heightened safety awareness and immediate, honest communication around any falls or injuries. One parent works from a home office and is immediately available to coordinate with her medical team. This role requires a caregiver who is calm, composed, transparent, and professional.
Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM (occasional flexibility for evening or weekend)
Start Date: April 2026
Pay: $30/hour or based on experience (time-and-a-half for select holidays)
Responsibilities include engaging care and play-based learning, maintaining routines, meal prep support, child laundry, light housekeeping related to the child, bath before end of day, and preparing her dinner before leaving for the day.
We are looking for someone who is kind, patient, high-energy, honest, dependable, and professional, with strong communication skills. CPR/First Aid certification is required. English must be primary language. Driving our daughter is not required. Phone-free during working hours (except emergency). No pets.
We have been fortunate to have wonderful caregivers and hope to find someone who will bring the same warmth and care into our home. If you are a warm, energetic, experienced nanny, we would love to hear from you.

A little bit about us
Both parents are in service industry and work weekends. Days of help needed would be fri-sun. Our twins, Marley and Margaret, are some seriously sweet little ladies. Margaret has a colostomy bag, so experience with that or medical experience preferred. Our dog Kodak would need minimal care, just the occasional potty break if you are to care in our home.
