The Family:

This Queen Anne family is seeking a warm, experienced infant nanny to join them as they navigate the early months of parenthood with their first baby. They are looking for a professional caregiver who can provide attentive, developmentally appropriate care during the workday while also serving as a confident and knowledgeable resource for first-time parents. The family is especially interested in finding someone who can bring practical infant-care wisdom, offer helpful tips and guidance when appropriate, and support them as they build confidence in their parenting rhythm.

The household has a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The parents enjoy cooking, playing music at home, and spending time together with their baby and their small wiener dog. One parent works a hybrid schedule and will be working from home two to three days per week, so the ideal nanny will be comfortable working in a household where a parent may occasionally be present during the workday. The parents value open communication and respect the professional experience that an experienced nanny brings.

Their child is described as a very happy baby who enjoys motion, face-to-face interaction, and spending time playing in his activity gym. The family is excited to find a nanny who will engage with him throughout the day and support his early development in a calm, attentive environment.

Because the family does not have extended family nearby, building a strong and trusting relationship with their nanny is especially important to them. They hope to find someone who will become a reliable, steady presence in their baby’s life and a trusted partner in their parenting journey.

The household includes a small, sweet wiener dog, so comfort around dogs is important. The family also has a few household preferences, including no heavy scents or perfumes and no shoes worn inside the home. Baby has no allergies or special needs at this time.

The Job Description:

The family is seeking a full-time infant nanny who is loving, dependable, and highly experienced with young babies. This is a childcare-focused role centered on providing attentive, developmentally supportive care for one infant during the workweek. The ideal nanny will be confident managing infant routines, knowledgeable about age-appropriate development, and comfortable guiding first-time parents with practical tips and support as needed.

This family would love to find someone who is confident but not overpowering—someone who can take initiative, bring a strong infant-care foundation, and offer expertise without being overly domineering in their style.
