About the Family:
A family in West Seattle is seeking a nurturing and experienced nanny to care for their happy, easygoing 6 month old. They value a warm, patient, and structured parenting approach and focus on raising confident, kind, and curious children through gentle guidance, clear boundaries, and positive reinforcement. The family also has an older child, though this position is focused solely on infant care.
They prioritize low-stimulation, screen-free days and enjoy getting outside regularly. This family is looking for a caregiver who is attentive, thoughtful, and comfortable balancing time at home with daily outings.
Nanny Requirements:
The ideal candidate has strong infant experience and a solid understanding of child development. They should be organized, dependable, and deeply trustworthy, with the ability to engage infants through age-appropriate activities while maintaining established routines. A calm, patient presence and enjoyment of outdoor time are important for this role.
Primary responsibilities focus on infant care, including feeding, routines, engagement, and outings. Baby-related meal prep once solids are introduced may be included. Light household support beyond general tidying is appreciated but not required and will be discussed and agreed upon at hire.
Schedule & Details:
Care is needed on the following schedule:
Monday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Wednesday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Thursday: 6:30 AM – 4:30 PM
The position offers guaranteed hours, with flexibility for up to 5 additional hours per week by mutual agreement and advance notice. Care must be in place by February 20, with a 1–2 week trial period.
The family will comply with Washington State sick leave requirements (1 hour per 40 hours worked). No additional PTO is offered at this time.
