A little bit about us

Hi there! We’re a warm, active family with two kids—a 16-month-old and a 4-year-old—looking for a caring nanny-share to help us. Your main tasks? Hanging with our playful baby, Jonah, and helping with school drop-offs and pick-ups for our preschooler.

Jonah loves climbing, music, water play, animals, and exploring the world around him. He’s social, easygoing, and loves making friends. He’s still nursing and getting used to Mom being away but adjusts quickly when comfortable.

A typical day includes morning drop-off, park time or animal visits with Jonah, a late-morning nap, lunch, and quiet play at home before school pick-up.

If this sounds like the perfect fit, we’d love to connect!

A little bit about us

We have a 3-month boy. Our baby happens to have reflux issues and we need to hold him for extended time when he naps and sleeps. We need a nanny to help Mom with soothing, holding the baby when sleeping and play with the baby and take care of him when awake in the day or a mom's helper that comes over and help us do the housekeeping when Mom takes care of the baby. Either way will work for us (rates will be slightly different). We need about two to three days a week and 4 to 6 hours per shift (12-18 hours a week). Our schedule is flexible but normally a 6-hour shift every Monday and Wednesday in the day will be the most helpful.
