Jovie Seattle, WA, USA Summary: A bit about us : We are a close-knit family living in Seattle, originally transplants with no extended family nearby. Both parents work full-time, and with two children who are our world, we are dedicated to meeting all their needs and supporting their growth. We prioritize spending quality time together, whether it's attending sports events, listening to music, or traveling to visit family out of state.
We're seeking a reliable and proactive part-time nanny to support our family during the school year. Our children, ages 13 and 11, are active in sports and enjoy a variety of interests, including reading, music, and board games. We're looking for someone who can provide after-school care, assist with transportation to activities, support our kids with homework, and light household tasks when time permits.
A bit about you : Our ideal nanny is reliable, communicative, and flexible. You should be comfortable with changing plans, as schedules for activities like soccer practice may vary from week to week. We're looking for someone who can build a strong relationship with our preteens, guiding them through their activities, helping with homework, and being a positive influence in their lives.
