Job description

We are a warm, active, and outdoorsy family looking for a part-time nanny for our 2.5-year-old son, Wyatt!Wyatt is a sweet, curious, and adventurous little boy who loves exploring the world around him. He is happiest outside—riding his bike, climbing trees, playing chase, and discovering anything related to construction, especially garbage trucks! He also loves building, imaginative play, and helping out in the kitchen (both real and pretend!). He is potty trained and absolutely adores his 5-year-old big brother, who attends a local Waldorf kindergarten.

Our family values connection, curiosity, imaginative play, and time spent outdoors. We practice responsive, attachment-focused parenting and believe in nurturing children’s natural desire to explore, learn, and grow through everyday experiences. We are also a largely screen-free household and prioritize hands-on play, creativity, and meaningful interactions over technology.

We’re hoping to find someone who shares these values and will approach caring for Wyatt with warmth, patience, kindness, and a sense of adventure. Someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with young children, follows their interests, and encourages their growing independence while remaining responsive to their emotional needs.

Our family also includes two friendly dogs and two cats, so comfort around animals is important!We have flexibility with scheduling and are looking for approximately 8–16 hours of care per week, depending on availability and our family’s needs.Above all, we’re hoping to find someone who feels like a natural extension of our family and builds a meaningful connection with Wyatt.

Thank you for your interest! We look forward to getting to know you!
