| Hello, we are a late 20's & early 30's couple adding our newest member to our family in January 2009. We would prefer live in, but may be flexible with the right fit. We definitely need to find someone who is flexible with our sometimes changing schedules and plane hopping. We are looking for someone who can travel with us, as needed (obviously expenses would be covered) and be flexible with us on weeks that our schedules are not consistent. Most of this is covered in the job description, so more about us...we are a younger couple, pretty laid back, very active, enjoy the outdoors (snowboarding, biking, hiking, etc), and easy to get along with (we think). We would like to bring someone into our home to help care for our children, but also compliment our family well, and we also hope will gain some memories and experiences by being with us. We will respect your privacy and individuality, as well as make sure you feel included in our home.
My husband and I both have professional jobs, and we're college graduates. We used to spend our time in the winter snowboarding. In the summer, our time was spent snowboarding in Argentina (which we plan on continuing), wakeboarding, or just getting to the lake (Tahoe usually). However, with the addition of mortgages, babies, and although I’m not willing to always admit it, maybe even age, we do spend a more time at home...Jay plays Xbox, geeks out on his PC, and hangs out with his family. I do mostly the same. We also have friends over for dinners and BBQs, try to catch a movie here and there, and go for walks (our dog Jack goes out every day playing fetch). We have a television, but no means to watch TV, so our TV use is restricted to Xbox, Netflix, and other movies.
As far as travel, we are looking for someone whog on the trip. We are planning on living in Jackson Hole for a month in March, getting back to Argentina, I take biweekly short trips to Seattle, and we go other places here and there.
About being LDS (in case you're wondering), my husband is LDS, and I actually am not. We are somewhat active in the church. We are very open minded and respectful of others beliefs or non-beliefs. We expect our nanny will be a role model to our children, and therefore, to have good morals - doesn't matter what their religious preference is, we just expect them to be a quality individual. In regards to drinking, a non-drinker would be great, but if our nanny does drink, we'd expect them to refrain from being dumb about it - i.e. never drinking while working with the kids, driving the family car, and not being hungover while caring for our children. We are only interested in non-smokers because I think smoking stinks..n't want to have to risk smelling it (in the car, on clothes, etc). We don't expect your religious beliefs or ours to be a big deal as long as we all have good values.
We are both very close to our families. We come from completely different backgrounds. Jay grew up in Houston and myself in Reno. We're not 100% sure how we're going to find our post 2nd baby arrangement, but we look forward to talking with people and maybe finding someone right for our family.
We will require a background/criminal check. We will also be validating references and past experience.
Pay is negotiable and will depend on experience in all areas of our needs. We think that you will enjoy the living conditions - private furnished bedroom, great neighborhood, access to a car (if needed), private bath (may be shared with babies), and we will consider other assistance as well (like cell phone).
Thanks for checking us out. |
