Full-Time Nanny for Seattle Infant (40 hrs per week) Placement

Summary

A bit about us: We are a warm, quiet, and home-centered family seeking an experienced nanny to care for our infant daughter beginning in August. We value a responsive, cue-based approach to parenting and follow our child's lead when it comes to feeding, sleep, and play rather than rigid schedules. We are passionate about creating a calm, nurturing environment and enjoy spending time at home, cooking, and taking neighborhood walks. Both parents work in professional roles, with some work-from-home days, and are looking for a nanny who is comfortable working alongside parents while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries and discretion.

A bit about you

• An experienced infant nanny who genuinely enjoys supporting a baby's development through responsive care and engagement.
• Experience with infant feeding, including bottle feeding, introducing solids, and baby-led weaning approaches.
• A calm, patient, and quiet demeanor is important, as both the baby and family dog thrive in a peaceful environment.
• Active enough to keep up with a growing infant, comfortable around dogs, respectful of family preferences, and able to collaborate with parents without imposing your own childcare philosophies.
• Bonus points if you speak Italian or have experience with Montessori-inspired activities, cloth diapering, or early potty-learning approaches.

Job Duties

• Your primary responsibility will be providing attentive, loving care for an infant while supporting her growth and development through age-appropriate activities.
• Daily responsibilities include responsive feeding support, assisting with breastfeeding transitions, introducing solids, supporting naps without sleep training, and engaging in developmental play such as floor time, sensory exploration, and Montessori-inspired activities.
• You will also enjoy outdoor time with the baby through stroller walks, carrier walks, and backyard play.
• Additional duties include washing bottles and feeding supplies, tidying baby play and meal areas, and maintaining a clean and organized environment related to the child's care.
