Full-Time Nanny Position in Seattle

This family of four is seeking a full-time nanny once they relocate to Seattle this summer. Their daughter is 4 years old and their son is 2 years old. The kids are fun, good-natured, curious, active, playful, curious, and engaging. They enjoy reading, art projects, cooking, music, outdoors, and friends. Their daughter will be starting preschool this fall, 4 days a week (near Carkeek Park). A typical day includes breakfast, getting ready for the day, a morning trip to the park, library or similar, then home for lunch around 12pm. Both kids then nap for 2-3 hours. Afternoons are filled with playtime, getting outside or an activity. Dinnertime is usually 5:30/6pm. Their parenting style aligns most closely with RIE. They encourage unstructured, child-led play.

Their ideal nanny is responsible, independent, loving, attentive and engaged, punctual and reliable. The parents prioritize their relationships with one another and treating each other with respect and kindness. They're ultimately trying to raise kind, independent, and curious children who have a strong sense of who they are and what they value. They are fair, honest, and reliable employers who treat their nannies as the professionals they are. They genuinely value their nanny's observations and perspective on their kids. 

Both parents work in the medical field, so the schedule is a unique element of working with this family. It has its benefits—stretches of multiple days off, extra paid time off—but the nanny must be comfortable with a variable schedule. Generally, they need the nanny when their work schedules overlap. Mom works in the Emergency Department and Dad works in the ICU.  The nanny’s schedule would be released (on a Google calendar) no less than one month in advance. This position has a long-term outlook.
