Part-Time After-School Nanny Job in Seattle, WA | 10–15 Hours per Week
About The Position
A close-knit Seattle family with three energetic boys, ages 5, 3, and 1, is looking for a dependable nanny to join their family year-round. The afternoons are busy and active, and the family is looking for someone who can help make the transition from school to home run smoothly. The boys enjoy Legos, trains, magnet tiles, and playtime. The youngest is newly mobile and loves to climb and explore. The family enjoys cooking and eating together, spending time with extended family, and going on walks. They are hoping to find someone local and well-established in Seattle who can become a consistent part of their weekly routine. The ideal candidate is playful, sensible, energetic, and attentive, with the confidence to manage three young children at once. They should be a self-starter who can keep everyone moving through the afternoon routine while still making time for fun and connection. Being quick on your feet and highly safety-conscious is especially important due to the youngest child's adventurous nature. The candidate should be warm but able to hold appropriate boundaries, stay consistent with routines, and calmly navigate typical toddler tantrums or sibling disagreements. A safe, reliable driver with a clean driving record, their own dependable vehicle, and experience caring for children in the Seattle area is required.
