Nanny Job Details

Job ID: 5236
Location: Boulder, CO


Please describe your family:
We are a young family that likes to keep healthy and have fun doing a variety of activities. We are two working parents, who believe in education and development but also some silliness. We prefer organic food, have very limited if any screen time with the kids, and like the outdoors. Introducing a second language - Spanish - to our kids is important to us.

Please describe why you are looking for a nanny:
We seek a nanny to look after 4 year old girl and 7 year old age boy. The hours are typically 25-30 hours a week during the school year. (if you are interested, we could start in the summer in which case we have up to 40-45 hours a week available.) Our boy will go to second grade in central Boulder (8:00 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.) and our girl attends preschool in N. Boulder five days a week (8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m). We have raised our children with exclusively Spanish speaking childcare and would like to maintain that, though we do need basic English proficiency for us and activities. Experience with young children a must. We are looking for a happy demeanor, talkative and playful with the children, willing to spend time outdoors even in colder weather. Training in childhood development/education helpful. Must be punctual in picking up the children from school. We offer the benefit of vacation time accrual (dependent on work hours), holidays, guaranteed minimum hours/week, and wish to hire legally.

Duties include picking up kids from school (must have clean driving record, though biking, walking and taking the bus are all preferred alternatives), transporting to after-school activities, engaging with activities, help with school work and other educational activities, play and light housework at home, and maintaining an organized house. During the school year, we value availability for some full days (8:00 a.m. -5:00 p.m. ) when one or more child is out of school (school holidays that are work days, snow days, when sick, etc.). If available, we would like assistance with housework chores (laundry, dishes, occasional small shopping, some not strictly related to the children) that can be accomplished with the children and prior to school pick-up (on days you are available).
If you are interested and qualify, please contact us! We're a fun, caring family who will look forward to working with you. Testimonial from previous nanny:
"This family has been terrific employers. They are so generous, kind, flexible and treat me like a member of the family. They are respectful and listen to my suggestions and recommendations. Working for them has been a marvelous experience. I will miss them and their sweet children when I leave."
