The Family:
Raising a child without nearby family support can feel both exciting and overwhelming, especially for first-time parents.

Having recently moved to the Puget Sound area, they are building their local support system from the ground up and are hoping to find a caregiver who will provide exceptional care while becoming a consistent and valued presence in their daughter's early years. Their daughter is a happy young infant with a wonderful temperament who is becoming increasingly interactive and curious about the world around her. She enjoys being outdoors, engaging with the adults in her life, and discovering new experiences each day. As first-time parents, the family is looking for someone who can bring professional infant experience into their home while partnering with them as they develop their own parenting style and routines.

They are seeking a nanny who enjoys collaborating with parents, communicating openly, and working together to create a nurturing environment that reflects both professional experience and the family's values. One parent works remotely from home while the other works outside the home.
