Nanny Job Details

Job ID: 5079
Location: Boulder, CO


Please describe your family:
Happy, fun-loving and on-the-move (we travel a lot!). My husband, David and I, have been happily married for 8 years. We are originally from opposite coasts - I'm from Southern California while my husband is from Connecticut, however, Colorado has been our chosen home for years now. Our son, Jake, is 5-years-old and will be starting Kindergarten this Fall. He is very sweet, thoughtful and smart. Our daughter, Dylan, is 2 years old and has not started any formal schooling as yet. She is spunky, fearless and hilarious. We appreciate the craziness that is our children - and everything that entails, however, we also embrace respect and order in our house and employ a loving but firm attitude to help guide our children in this manner.

Please describe why you are looking for a nanny:
Looking for someone who is patient and respectful with lots of energy who loves to engage kids in a variety of activities - especially outdoors. We would love it if you had a car to accommodate our children, should you want to take them out of the house while you're here, but that's not a requirement.

Describe the child(ren) you need a nanny for:
Our son, Jake (5), is very sweet and thoughtful - a real smarty pants! He is a typically active 5-yr-old who loves all things computer/IPod, is crazy about sports and loves to read (he's been reading since he was 3!). Our daughter, Dylan (2), is incredibly independent for her age is quite the actress/comedian already! She loves to play 'make-believe princess' and adores playing with her brother. She's a real sweatheart. Jake doesn't nap much anymore but Dylan still naps daily. We usually have our son go to his room for 'quiet time' while she's napping.

Describe your home setting: Large home in North Boulder with a backyard that includes a playground for the kids. Each of our children have their own bedroom. We are very close to a bike path, Wonderland Lake open space, Lucky's Market and several playgrounds.
