Bellevue, WA, USA
Family Location: Mercer Island, WA 98040
Summary
A bit about us:
We are a warm, welcoming, and child centered family seeking a temporary nanny to support our household for approximately three months while mom is on parental leave. Our home includes mom, dad, an almost four-year-old who attends daycare, and a three-month-old baby. We enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, visiting parks, and being active together as a family. During the mornings, the nanny will primarily support mom with infant care so she can manage the morning routine and get the older child out the door to daycare. We value open communication, flexibility, and a collaborative partnership with the caregiver who joins our home.
A bit about you:
You are an experienced caregiver who is comfortable caring for young infants in a home setting and who brings a calm, nurturing presence to the day. You communicate openly and feel confident sharing ideas that support the children’s routines and development. You are proactive, creative, and enjoy engaging children through age-appropriate play and interaction. You are flexible and able to shift between infant care and light household support depending on the needs of the day. Most importantly, you are attentive, present, and focused on the children during your time in the home.
Job Duties:
Your primary responsibility will be caring for the family’s three-month-old baby during the morning hours. Duties include feeding, diaper changes, supporting naps, and providing engaging, developmentally appropriate play when the baby is awake. During infant nap times or when mom is spending time with the baby, you will assist with light household tasks such as dishes, loading or unloading the dishwasher, starting or folding laundry, tidying common areas, and occasional light meal prep support. The role may also include friendly interaction with the family’s almost four-year-old, though the primary focus is infant care. This is a collaborative role supporting a parent who will often be present in the home.
