This family of four is looking to welcome a caregiver who can support both their young daughter's daily routine and their son's after-school activities, while also becoming a true partner in running the household. Their last nanny was with them for 5 years, so they're hoping to find someone who's excited to build that same kind of lasting relationship. They describe themselves in one word as "independent," and their household is both busy and social, with values centered on trust, integrity, adventure, loyalty, and caring for one another. More than anything, they want their children to feel loved, supported, and safe.

Childcare/Nanny Responsibilities
Day to day care centers on their 4-year-old daughter, described as an adventurous, playful kid who loves pillow forts, magna tiles, and make-believe, and who really comes alive with one-on-one attention. The role includes school pick up at 3:10 in Madrona, which requires a caregiver who is consistently on time and highly reliable. There's also some after-school support for her 11-year-old brother, which may include driving to and from after-school activities in Capitol Hill but will be less consistent. The family also expects healthy meals and snacks to be prepared for the children. They want someone who is fully present and engaged during care hours, not on their phone while watching the kids.

Family Assistant Responsibilities
This is a true nanny/family assistant hybrid that goes beyond the scope of a typical nanny role. Expect to take ownership of tasks like the kids' laundry, keeping their spaces and belongings stocked, clean, and organized, packing bags, prepping meals, light housekeeping and generally staying a step ahead so afternoons run smoothly. This family is especially drawn to caregivers who are naturally organized and proactive, someone who sees what needs to happen and handles it without a lot of direction.

The parents are direct communicators who are flexible and spontaneous, but they hold a high bar for follow-through, so this is a great fit for someone who thrives with autonomy and works well independently. They’re looking for someone who respects their parenting style, communicates openly, and genuinely wants to make the family’s life easier.

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re…

A problem solver who's proactive and stays a step ahead. A strong communicator who keeps the parents informed. Someone who builds a real connection with the children and makes them feel secure. Someone who respects the family's routines and parenting style, follows through on the details, and treats this role like it matters — because to this family, it does.
