Job ID: 5676
Location: Boulder, CO
Please describe your family:
We are an active family of four with a love of nature and the outdoors. Living a healthy, active lifestyle is very important to us. Our idea of a perfect day is spending quality family time together exploring the outdoors.
Please describe why you are looking for a nanny:
Both mom and dad work full-time with occasional travel. However, we will never be required to travel at the same time. We each have an office in our home so it is important our nanny be comfortable with parents who work from home. With that being said, we will not interfere during your work day. This arrangement is nothing new for our family, so both our 4-year old daughter and 2 year old son are already used to mom and dad working from home, and understand we are not available during this time. The nanny we are looking for will be part of our family and provide safe, kind and loving care for our children. We are looking for an energetic person who will form a close relationship with our children. Someone who has good initiative to set up interesting and creative activities each week.
Describe the child(ren) you need a nanny for:
Our son is an energetic 2-year old who loves to play outside. When not outside, you can find him with his second love, anything related to cars, trucks or trains. He has a vivid imagination and loves to build with Legos. He also enjoys music, reading, puzzles and all sorts of different art projects. Our daughter will be starting pre-school again in August, she will be doing 5 half days a week. She is a very happy, outgoing "talker"! She loves arts and crafts, reading, singing, and learning new things. She loves exploring new things, and like her little brother, she loves to be outside.
Describe your home setting: We live in a 2-story home located in Boulder. Each child has their own room on the 2nd floor. In addition, we have a playroom on the main level. Outside there is a play set in our backyard along with a grass area for play. We also have a deck to enjoy meals outside on a nice afternoon. Our neighborhood has several walking trails along with multiple playgrounds near by. We also have a community pool within walking distance of our home to be used during the summer months. Due to our very busy schedules we try very hard to keep an organized home, although some days are better than others
