Summary:

A bit about us:
We are a confident, open-minded, dynamic family of 3. We also have two friendly dogs (a large, older Boxer and a small King Charles). I work a hybrid, full-time schedule and have a direct communication style. Our last nanny was with us for three years, and we are so proud of her for getting her dream job! We are homebodies at heart and enjoy biking, walking, swimming, exercising, and spending time together. Above all, we want a caregiver who is reliable, safe, engaged, and helps make our afternoons feel easier and more connected.
Our 7-year-old child is outgoing, chatty, and precocious. She loves pastels, crafts, slime, gymnastics, swimming, and imaginative play. We appreciate caregivers who can roll with changing moods, keep things positive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with her.

You take initiative, notice what needs to be done, and are comfortable helping with simple household tasks without losing focus on the child. You enjoy creative activities, can encourage independence and cleanup after projects, and understand the importance of being on time for school pickup and activities. Most importantly, you are someone our child can trust and look forward to seeing each afternoon.
