We are looking for a loving, patient, responsible, and experienced nanny to care for our 8-month old daughter. We are looking for someone 3 days/week, days selected are flexible but we'd like to keep the same schedule each week. My mother will be watching her the other 2 days.
We would need the nanny to be here by 7:30 AM and one of us would be home by 5:30-6 PM.
Our daughter, Morgan, is absolutely a pleasure to be with - happy and giggly most of the time (not a crier...usually!). She is at a very fun and active age right now, just on the verge of crawling and interested in everything! We want someone who is skilled in working with babies to fulfill their educational, emotional and physical needs. No couch potatoes! We do not like her watching TV and we would expect the nanny to not spend their days watching TV or dealing with their personal business either. It's all about Morgan.
Light housework connected to the baby would be expected - washing and folding her laundry, keeping floors clean, cleaning her highchair, wiping counters, loading/unloading dishwasher and keeping her toys and room tidy. We do not expect cleaning of the house or picking up after us.
Our parents are very involved and would be stopping by to visit with Morgan. The nanny would need to be comfortable with this. We are also having some work done to the house so contractors may be around.
And... we have another baby on the way, due October 2013. Experience watching multiple children and experience with newborns absolutely necessary. Morgan will be 15-16 months at that time.
Please respond via e-mail at christinekerrigan81@gmail.com with your credentials, experience, and certifications. If you have a sittercity account with this information, you can pass that along as well. Please provide requested salary and any other requirements you expect from an employer. Complete fluency in English a must.
Our selection of a caregiver will be based on experience, background check, personality, and references. We have only had family members watch Morgan up until now, so we are very cautious and nervous about letting an outsider into our family. We want someone who will love her as much as we do!
