Part-Time Newborn Nanny Job in Duvall, WA | 20 Hours per Week

Jovie of CA, WA, and MN•Duvall, WA

8d•$33 - $38•Onsite

About The Position

We are first-time parents in Duvall looking for an experienced and caring nanny to support our family with our newborn, born in early September. We’re hoping to welcome someone into our home late October for approximately 20 hours per week, with the possibility of increasing to 30 hours per week when Mom returns to work in late January. Our home also includes two medium-to-large dogs, so being comfortable around larger dogs is important, although you will not have any pet-care responsibilities. We are a relaxed family and hope to raise a flexible little one without feeling tied to an overly rigid routine. We also love the outdoors, and as our baby grows, we’d be excited for our nanny to enjoy stroller walks, parks, trails, and other little adventures with him. You have strong newborn and infant experience and feel confident stepping in to support first-time parents as they navigate this new season. You understand infant development and age-appropriate enrichment and can comfortably take initiative without being overly rigid. You’re relaxed, flexible, and happy to follow the baby’s cues while communicating openly with parents about how his day is going. We’d especially appreciate someone who can recognize what needs to be done and offer helpful guidance while respecting our parenting preferences.
