Full-Time Infant Nanny Job in Kirkland, WA | Long-Term Nanny Position

Full-time nanny position in Kirkland, WA with Jovie of Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, WA.

About the Family

We are a warm, organized family in Kirkland looking for a dependable full-time nanny to care for our 10-month-old daughter. She is an active and curious older baby who loves crawling, pulling herself up, practicing new skills, eating, listening to songs, and having plenty of babbling conversations with the people around her. We are homebodies at heart and value organization, reliability, clear communication, and following through on commitments. As a family, we also enjoy introducing our daughter to new experiences, from parks and the aquarium to the zoo and other family-friendly outings. We are hoping to build a trusting, long-term relationship with a nanny who can become a consistent and reassuring presence in her daily routine.

About You

You are a calm, warm, reliable nanny with strong experience caring for older babies and toddlers and a natural ability to engage with little ones. You genuinely enjoy getting down on the floor to play, talking and singing throughout the day, and encouraging new developmental skills as they emerge. Safety and hygiene are extremely important to you, and you are comfortable following a family's established routines and preferences closely while trust and rapport develop. You are also comfortable working with parents who may be home during portions of the day and appreciate a collaborative relationship where the parents take the lead regarding their child's care. A quieter, easygoing personality and a patient, understanding approach would fit especially well with this family.
