The DeWald Family

A little bit about us

We're looking for a warm, energetic and playful full-time nanny to provide care and serve as a strong positive role model for our two daughters. The position is based in our home in Bellingham's Columbia neighborhood. Care will primarily be for our youngest, with after-school care for our 8-year-old.

This role also involves occasional domestic and international travel with our family when work takes us away from home. Mom is a climate scientist whose work takes her to places like New York, San Francisco, Iceland, and Europe. Dad is an engineer. We're looking for someone who is comfortable traveling and excited by the opportunity to experience new places with our children.

A Little About Our Family
Our youngest is an exceptionally charming, funny, and affectionate little girl who will keep you laughing. She thrives with caregivers who are participatory in play and enjoy jumping into the fun when invited (which is most of the time!). She loves singing, long walks, swimming, seeing friends, and imaginative, silly games—think puppet shows, tea parties, and whatever else you can dream up together.

We're hoping to find someone who takes initiative in planning engaging activities, enjoys getting out of the house for adventures, even when it rains, and brings creativity to everyday routines.

Schedule & Benefits
Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. (40 hours/week)
25–30/hour depending on experience
3 weeks of paid time off annually
Occasional domestic and international travel, typically 2–7 days per trip, with all travel expenses covered and advance notice.

If this sounds like a good fit, we'd love to hear from you. Please respond with a brief message about why this position interests you and how your strengths might align.
