A little bit about us

My name is Alexandria, and my husband’s name is Cameron. We have three wonderful sons Cj, who is 14, Xavier, who is 12 years old, and Zachariah, who is just 2 months old. We live in Washington DC, where there are plenty of parks, shops, and fun activities to enjoy.

Our daily routine keeps us busy, but we always make time for family. I work as a social worker at CFSA, with my hours running from 8:15 AM to 4:45 PM. Cameron is a truck driver for Everfresh, starting his day early at 5:00 AM and returning home no later than 3:00 PM. Xavier is in school during the week and is usually home by 4:00 PM. Zachariah, being just a baby, will be the main focus of your care. He loves going on walks, being talked to, and interacting with those around him, so we are looking for someone who is energetic and engaging.

Our ideal nanny is someone who is not only great with infants but also active, patient, and trustworthy. Since Zachariah is so young, we want someone who will provide him with loving and attentive care throughout the day.

We truly value open communication, and we want you to feel comfortable as part of our family. If you ever have questions, need help, or just want to talk, we are always here. We hope this experience will be as wonderful for you as it will be for us.

A little bit about us

Looking for someone to care for our 5 month old full or part time. A nanny share would be ideal. My husband and I both work from home. We are able to provide support during the day, but need someone to look after the baby while we need to focus on work. The arrangement is relatively flexible on our side in terms of days and times, but we are looking for someone to help out a minimum of three days per week from 9-5.
