About the role

We are a warm family of four looking for a dependable nanny to become an important part of our lives during an exciting season with our growing family. Our household includes a 5‑year‑old who just started kindergarten and a soon‑to‑be 5‑month‑old baby girl. We value open communication, kindness, and creating a positive, welcoming environment where our nanny feels comfortable and appreciated. We enjoy traveling, spending time at the Bellevue Club, staying active through sports, music, and dancing, and we’re looking for someone who will become a trusted partner in helping our family thrive.
