Job Description
Position Type: Part-Time
Location: Seattle, WA
Office: Jovie of Seattle, WA
Summary: A bit about us : We are a close-knit Seattle family with three energetic boys, ages 5, 3, and 1, looking for a dependable nanny to join our family year-round. Our afternoons are busy and active, and we’re looking for someone who can help make the transition from school to home run smoothly. Our boys love Legos, trains and train tracks, magnet tiles, and plenty of playtime, while our youngest is newly mobile and loves to climb and explore! As a family, we enjoy cooking and eating together, spending time with our extended family, and going on walks. We’re hoping to find someone local and well-established in Seattle who can become a consistent part of our weekly routine.
A bit about you : You are playful, sensible, energetic, and attentive, with the confidence to manage three young children at once. You’re a self-starter who can keep everyone moving through the afternoon routine while still making time for fun and connection. Our youngest is an adventurous climber, so being quick on your feet and highly safety-conscious is especially important! You are warm but able to hold appropriate boundaries, stay consistent with routines, and calmly navigate typical toddler tantrums or sibling disagreements. Most importantly, you are a safe, reliable driver with a clean driving record, your own dependable vehicle, and experience caring for children in the Seattle area.
What You’ll Do : Your afternoon will begin with picking up all three children from the same school and safely bringing them home. Once home, you’ll offer a simple snack, help the children transition into their evening routine, oversee bath time, and engage them in play until their parents arrive home around dinner. If a parent is running late, you may occasionally help with bottle-feeding the youngest child. You’ll provide active supervision, especially for the newly mobile 1-year-old, while keeping all three children safe, engaged, and on schedule. When time allows, you’ll also help unload the dishwasher and place the children’s lunch boxes into the dishwasher. “Text
