Nanny Needed In Issaquah - Great Family

About the job

Professional and active family in the Issaquah/Bellevue area is searching for their next long-term nanny! Both parents work full-time (outside the home) and are looking for someone to care for their two boys, ages 5 and 7. Both of their previous nannies rave about working for this family and are happy to provide references! The older boy will be turning 8 in May and is sweet, empathetic, super silly, loves to read, play with legos, and LOVES to play with friends. He is currently in second grade. The younger brother recently turned 5 and is sweet, snuggly, and loves one-on-one attention. As most 5 year olds he is learning his voice of what he wants and doesn't want... and he's not afraid to tell you "it's not fair." He is very funny, loves playing with cars, and playing with friends. Both boys have great imaginations and can play independently. The parents are hoping to find a true partner in their family journey and one that prioritizes play time over screen time. Their parenting philosophy is one that focuses on setting clear boundaries with kindness and having natural consequences. Both parents believe that their nanny is an extension of the parents and they put their support and trust in the nanny managing and handling issues as they arise.
