Location: Louisville, CO
Please describe your family:
We are a Swiss/Austrian family who moved to Colorado recently. Our son is 1.5y old and we are expecting a newborn in March 2015. Daddy S. is working full-time and occasionally on business trips and mommy B. is currently full-time mommy. Our son will also be part-time in daycare. Our family language is Swiss German but we would like the nanny to talk English (or her mother tongue) to the kids.
Please describe why you are looking for a nanny:
We would need support in preparation and during the delivery of our second child. In the long term mommy would be happy to have some time for herself, studies or part-time work.
Describe the child(ren) you need a nanny for:
Our boy is a healthy, energetic, active, joyful child, interested in everything, and starting to have his own opinion :-). He loves to be outdoors and enjoys nature. But he also likes to indulge himself into some books or some indoor play.
As soon as the sibling arrives it would be great if the nanny could take over one or the other 3hr slot between breast feeding to allow mommy some sleep.
