Full-Time Nanny Job in Bellevue, WA | Nanny & Academic Mentor
About The Position
A bit about us: We are an active Bellevue family seeking a dependable and engaging nanny for our 11-year-old son, who will be entering 5th grade this fall. He is easygoing and can be shy at first, but opens up once he feels comfortable. He enjoys chess, tennis, sports, and staying active, and our family also enjoys short trips and road trips together. We also have a Corgi named Lucki, so someone who is comfortable with dogs and willing to help with walks will fit right in. This will be our son’s first experience having a nanny outside of family care, so we’re excited to find someone who can become a trusted and positive presence in his daily life. The position is expected to begin sometime in September 2026, around the start of the school year, and continue through June 2027. Afternoons will generally include household support before school dismissal, greeting the child after school, transportation to sports or SSAT courses, homework and academic support, and helping him prepare for the next day before Dad takes over around 7:00 PM.
