About The Position

Jovie of Bellevue is seeking an experienced, kind, and patient nanny for a long-term position caring for a 6-month-old baby in Sammamish, Washington. The family takes a gentle, nurturing approach to childcare and wants a caregiver who respects its parenting philosophy. The mother is a stay-at-home parent and will collaborate with the nanny during the day; the father occasionally works from home in a separate, closed-door office. The nanny will provide attentive care, follow the baby's daily routine, and support her development with age-appropriate activities such as reading, singing, play, and outdoor walks when weather permits. The role includes warming bottles or preparing simple meals as needed and helping with baby-related household responsibilities. As the baby grows and has more downtime, additional tasks related to her care may be requested. The nanny will work collaboratively with the mother to maintain a gentle and consistent approach to the baby's needs. The position is full-time, with Monday through Friday preferred and flexibility for 3–5 days per week. Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. The start date is as soon as the right-fit nanny can begin. Pay is $33–$38; the posting does not specify the pay period. Potential benefits are to be discussed and may include PTO, paid holidays, a $100 healthcare stipend, and guaranteed hours. Applicants must first interview with a Jovie specialist; qualifying applicants will meet the family before being hired. The recruiting team reviews applications, conducts screening and reference checks, and matches qualified candidates with families based on experience and availability.
