Part-Time Nanny Needed in Ridglea (76116)

About our family:

We are a family of 3 (mom, dad and 11-month old girl) with one cat living in the Ridglea area off of Camp Bowie. Mom and dad both work in oil and gas, working both remotely and in-office. 

We are a very intentional, crunchy-lite, Christian family focused on building a strong and loving relationship with our daughter.

We enjoy spending time outside and would live in the Colorado mountains if we could! We focus on learning through play and reading (no screens). We enjoy outings with our daughter, whether that’s walking around the neighborhood, playing at the park, or going to museums to play and learn about the world around us. She loves books, music and giggling!

We hope to find someone who shares our beliefs and values, and supports us as our family hopefully grows. We would love for our entire family to have a cherished relationship with our nanny.

About you

We hope to find a nanny who shares our Christian faith and is comfortable helping us raise our children with traditional Christian values. Ideally, you have experience with toddlers and newborns, as we hope to grow our family soon. Our long-term vision is to transition our daughter to a mother’s day out if / when we are blessed to have baby #2.

You are fun, friendly, open, intentional and confident. You can work through the common challenges of infants and toddlers with love and patience. You enjoy being outdoors and active, and you can help our daughter continue to meet milestones through fun, engaging activities without screens. You are willing to align to our expectations for our daughter’s routine (healthy diet, safe and stimulating activities, etc.), but confident suggesting changes or additions based on your observations of her development. After all, you will be one of her closest and most trusted relationships!

We hope to partner with you and learn from each other as we grow our family and raise our children to be compassionate, well-rounded and secure in their faith and values.

We can’t wait to meet you!
