There may be occasional travel, which would adjust the weekly hours as a result.

They have a 6 year old boy, a 3 year old girl and a 3 week old baby girl! Their oldest is a sweet-natured, helpful, kind and goofy boy. He is a compassionate rule-follower. He aims to please people and responds well to positive reinforcement. He loves Pokemon, superheroes, ninjas, gaming and tinkering/building. Their toddler is a strong-willed, feisty, ornery, coordinated, and spunky little girl. She is a hand-full, but in the best way. She requires a lot of redirection and discipline, but she does so well when kept busy and active. She loves makeup, dress up, Barbies, gymnastics, painting, and anything her big brother is doing. Their newest addition is a very easy, calm, and happy baby. She is very content almost all the time and is passionate about milk! The sports team family’s “routine” is fairly un-routine. They move frequently, travel constantly to different time zones, and that requires a lot of change to any routine they’ve able to establish in between.

FT Nanny on Bainbridge Island
This family is seeking a nanny for their newest addition. Their baby (born August 2022) is sweet and smiley and will be learning and growing so much in these next months/years. Right now, he loves milk and music! He naps lots during the day, and follows a wake, play, eat, sleep cycle. Their toddler is a jokester and enjoys making people laugh and smile. He also loves music and being outside, playing in the dirt. Their oldest is in Kindergarten during the day, so the nanny will primarily be caring for their baby. There will be rare days when the nanny will also need to help out with the 5 year old if he is home from school and the parents are not able to take the day off to help with him. During the summer, they would love it if the nanny can take care of both kids. The parents believe in "whole brain" children. They see it as important to explain things to their toddler, let him try to do things for himself and give room to make mistakes and grow, while also setting clear limits. They strive to always be kind, understanding and above all else loving. They believe in lots of hugs and kisses and telling each other they love one another multiple times a day. Their ideal nanny is very patient, kind and has experience with infants. Someone who can give direction to a very mature young boy while maintaining a calm demeanor is key. They want someone who will love their kids unconditionally and help them grow, through play-based activities. Someone who will be engaged with the baby including activities such as reading to him, doing tummy time, playing with his toys, etc. A nanny who is open to traveling with mom when she needs to travel for work is a plus (ex. destinations: NY, LA, possible overseas). Responsibilities include childcare, child meal prep (light snack prep/heating up food or bottles), children’s laundry, and light housekeeping (related to the children only).
