Nanny in Sammamish

 

This Sammamish family is seeking a part-time nanny for their four children, 10, 8, 6 and 2 years old. Most of the time would be spent with the 2-year old but the nanny would spend time with each of the kids.  Three of the children are outgoing, while the 6 year old is shy. Their 8 and 2 year old are very active and love playing sports outside or in the basement. The 10 and 6 year old love to read. They are all thoughtful, curious, and kind kids and all love having good conversations, crafts, and art projects.. Their toddler, who is in the process of being potty trained, is very curious and still needs close supervision. The older 3 children attend school and on some days have after-school activities. They are a close family that usually spends time engaged together at the beginning and the end of weekdays, and most of the weekend. They love learning, doing activities together, and getting obligations out of the way so that they can have fun together. They are an active and busy family, although they try to avoid over-scheduling. They value kindness, empathy, and talking about feelings. It can be hectic in a household with four children and there are rarely quiet moments with nothing to do.  They find that getting all children through transitions (e.g. into the car in the morning) at the same time requires a parent and nanny to work together closely. They have developed a wonderful bond and relationship with their outgoing nanny. They have gotten to know her family, and celebrated milestones with them. They would be eager to create a similar relationship with a new nanny. Their nanny was with them from 2018 – Summer 2024 and she is happy to be a reference. The parents try to create a relatable, kind, and human atmosphere at home so that it feels comfortable for the nanny to be themselves and feel that they are in a friendly environment. Finally, they are responsible and fair employers, and they follow through on what they commit to. Their ideal nanny is energetic, kind, curious, playful, helpful. A typical day could include assisting with school/activities drop off and pickup, walking toddler to the park and playing there, taking toddler to the library for story time/reading books, and/or to swim. The family needs assistance from approximately 6AM-9:30AM or 10:30AM and 2:30PM-5PM. They are open to having one nanny (split shift) or two separate nannies to cover these hours. There is some flexibility with the hours. (If someone wants to do the split shift, but not every day, they could drop the 2nd shift 1-2 days a week. If someone wants to do the morning shift, but there aren't enough hours, they could tack on some hours to the end of the morning shift a few days a week. If someone wants to do the afternoon shift, but there aren't enough hours, they could tack on some hours to the beginning of the afternoon shift a few days a week. If someone wants to do both shifts, they could offer to bridge the shifts with hours in the middle of the day 1-2 days a week.) Responsibilities include childcare, meal prep, laundry, light housekeeping, and transportation. High School degree or equivalency required; college degree preferred.  They would prefer a nanny with prior childcare or child education experience.

Part-Time Housekeeper in Seattle

 

This Phinney Ridge family is seeking part-time assistance in maintaining their home. This position does not require any childcare. Their ideal housekeeper could come for a couple of hours every weekday to help them keep general tidiness as well as rotate through the necessary cleaning tasks, both frequent and less frequent needs.  Someone who is a self-starter, who can learn their needs and then go execute them would be the best fit. 

 

General Routine:

• 1x week: general all around clean: tidying, clean kitchen, bathrooms, dust, vacuum, sweep/mop (this generally takes 3-4hrs)

• 3 loads laundry per week (includes bedsheets/towels)

• Daily: dishes and wipe down counters, etc.

• As needed: rotate through other tasks: clean windows, blinds, floorboards, walls, cupboards/cupboard doors, refrigerator, stove/range hood, more refined organizing, etc. 

• Cleaning/dusting around large houseplant collection 

• Goal is to move toward 2x weekly vacuuming, sweep/mop, and a second wipe down of counters, sinks, etc.

 

The family describes themselves as friendly and easy-going.  They value good communication and understand that constructive, timely feedback (in all directions) is key to good relationships. They have high expectations, but are welcoming, trusting, and generous to people who they know are genuinely trying to meet those expectations. They are optimists and love helping people be successful and inspired. Their ideal candidate is someone who can take general direction/feedback and run with it, who, after some initial discussions & coaching, doesn’t need to be “micro managed” with specific lists of daily tasks - a self-starter who will identify what needs to be done and do it with regular check-ins, rather than waiting to be told specifics of every task each time.  Questions/feedback is good, but someone that can make day-to-day decisions independently is key. They would love to form a long-term relationship as they foresee needing someone for the next 5+ years. Right now, the family is focused on cleaning/housekeeping type tasks, but there is potential for future expansion to occasional errands/ walking the dog. Responsibilities include: household laundry, light housekeeping, and deep cleaning.

Their primary goal is a happy kid. They have routines, but do not strictly follow them. This family values workers’ rights and fair labor practices. They are good communicators, chill and flexible. The families encourage the nanny to participate in local activities for babies (library story times, splash pad/wading pool, park, zoo) and walks/playing outside.

The family highly values kindness, teamwork, and honesty/trust. They enjoy fun and adventure but are also homebodies and really like to move slow to leave room for creativity and rest. Very routine with room for flexibility. They are very conversational when it comes to discipline but also outline clear “cause and effect” language with choices and consequences. They live in Proctor and are walking distance to lots of fun parks, coffee shops and activities. The kids love parks, the zoo (they have a membership), beaches, light/local hikes. During the summer 2-4 of the kiddos will be in half day summer camps and during the school year the big 4 are all in school full-time. Their ideal nanny is a fun, adventurous, energetic and positive adult who loves to play, create and help their family be set up for success with consistent rhythms, routines and values. They expect to need a nanny for the next 6-9 months. In the summer the schedule below is what they are planning for. Once school starts, they are willing to work with the nanny to maintain similar hours/pay with a possible adapted schedule with primarily the baby and kids before/after school in a consistent way. They could also accommodate a nanny that could work now until mid-September. 2+ years of experience with kids in a variety of settings is required. Mom does not currently work (on medical leave) and Dad works from home as an online teacher. Mom has some treatment stretches that involve 3-4 days of inpatient stays (just two times this summer) where they’d love for their nanny to be available for parts. Responsibilities include childcare, child meal prep, children’s laundry, light housekeeping and transportation.
