Full-Time Nanny for Seattle Infant (40 hrs per week) Placement
About The Position
A warm, quiet, and home-centered family is seeking an experienced nanny to care for their infant daughter beginning in August. The family values a responsive, cue-based approach to parenting and follows the child's lead when it comes to feeding, sleep, and play rather than rigid schedules. They are passionate about creating a calm, nurturing environment and enjoy spending time at home, cooking, and taking neighborhood walks. Both parents work in professional roles, with some work-from-home days, and are looking for a nanny who is comfortable working alongside parents while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries and discretion. The primary responsibility will be providing attentive, loving care for an infant while supporting her growth and development through age-appropriate activities. Daily responsibilities include responsive feeding support, assisting with breastfeeding transitions, introducing solids, supporting naps without sleep training, and engaging in developmental play such as floor time, sensory exploration, and Montessori-inspired activities. The nanny will also enjoy outdoor time with the baby through stroller walks, carrier walks, and backyard play. Additional duties include washing bottles and feeding supplies, tidying baby play and meal areas, and maintaining a clean and organized environment related to the child's care.
