A little bit about us

My husband Ben and I had our first baby, Lucy, in July 2023 and we are interested in a part-time (Tues, Thurs) nanny starting in November and will likely need this infant care through August 2024. We are very open to sharing a nanny. I am a pediatric psychologist and researcher and Ben is a middle school principal. I work from home and we have one very friendly dog. We have a big fenced in back yard and only dog care would include letting our pup in and out sometimes. We could host or split hosting the nanny share. We are new to all of this and are interested in learning more about how to make this work and hope to even find some new friends for us and our baby Lucy along the way! We hope to switch to full-time daycare by September 2024.

Hello -

We are a young family relocating to Portland, Me from Boston, MA and are looking for a nanny for our 15 month old son, Luca.

We'd be looking for a nanny who can be available from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM Monday thru Friday beginning April 1st, 2022.

We'd like a nanny-share so our son Luca has exposure to other children - he is enrolled in infant care now and really enjoys being active, laughing, trying new foods, and playing with his fellow baby-friends. He is genuinely a very happy guy!

Hoping for an experienced, energetic and certified childcare expert who can provide a fun and structured day with educational activities, books, playtime and a lot of outdoor time.

A little bit about us

Hello,

Me and my husband are relocating to Portland, Maine and looking for a full-time nanny for 8 hours a day 3-4 days a week (could possibly be 5 days) as we are both nurses. My son is 3 and has no special requirements or needs. Just to be loved and cared for! We will be relocating to a house with plenty of yard space for him to play outside too. He requires just light meal prep (chicken nuggets and fruit is his whole diet basically). Occasional light house work may be needed but no pressure in this area. He is currently working on potty training and prep for pre-school. We are looking for a kind, engaging nanny who will be willing to do fun activities such as painting and other stimulating pre-school activities with our son while we are at work.
