Please describe your family:
Dad has a Masters in Business and a Doctorate in Chemistry and works from home. Mom is a Professor at CU Boulder. Our son is six and our daughter is three. We like to read, to do outdoor activities like biking, hiking or walking. Both Mom and Dad work full-time and travel as needed.
Please describe why you are looking for a nanny:
We love spending time with our children! We are looking for a Nanny/House Manager who can spend time with the kids while we work. Besides Nanny care, a large portion of the job is House Manager duties, for example picking up and dropping off our kids at school, grocery shopping, preparing meals, doing laundry, errands, organization, tidying up, anything needed! Occasionally we like to go on dates, but the bulk of the time when we have the chance to be with our kids we take it. You would need occasionally to have a valid passport and travel with us. If we are both traveling, we will need you to watch the children overnights as well.
Describe the child(ren) you need a nanny for:
Our son is 6 years old. He loves to tell stories, especially about dinosaurs, space and the human body. He loves Legos, and his friends. He is a sweet, social and loving child, but can push limits, and be a bit bossy. Our daughter is 3 years old. She loves her teddy bear, taking care of dolls, looking at books, running around and asking a lot of questions. She loves to give hugs, but also can, as most three year old's, want to do her own thing, and also push limits. They both tend to be upset when we leave, but then recover very quickly. They have been in daycare or with a nanny since they were a few months old and so are used to childcare. Both children will be in school in the fall. The children rarely watch any T.V. or other screen time.
