Magnolia Family Assistant Needed
A family in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood is looking for a wonderful nanny/family assistant for their boys, ages 4 and 2. Eventually, when the timing is right, their soon-to-be sister too! Their youngest is quite the extrovert who wakes up happy and loves leaving the house and going on adventures, endless dance parties, going on walks around the neighborhood, being read all age-appropriate books, blowing and popping bubbles, being pushed in a swing until your arms fall off, all the snacks and he especially loves popsicles. He is great at making messes and cleaning them up, eating all the berries, and taking good naps. Like most toddlers, he can get impatient and frustrated, though really, he's hysterical- a real ham. Their oldest is an introvert and prefers playing independently, drawing, painting, coloring, building creations with his magnetic blocks and tiles, going to the movies, collecting treasures, and he would honestly rather stay home. Being cozy is his jam (wearing pajamas, sitting with his stuffed animal avocado in his "cozy corner" with a big blanket) though once out, he enjoys being at the playground.
As a family, they enjoy going on adventures. They will go to the beach, go to the park and run around, go to restaurants and share french fries, find Seattle-specific activities like the bounce castle fair, bug day at the zoo, find the biggest donut at a farmers' market, and splash at a water park. Mom keeps a notecard of all the parks in the city, and they will often choose a new one at random and just drive to different cities for the day to check out a new place. They also enjoy family time at home. Mom likes to bake (the kids help) and meal prep. Dad watches sports with the kids, builds pillow forts (or, lately, a "pillow hot tub"), throws baseballs around in the backyard, plays with chalk and markers, and destroys and reassembles the sofa.
FAMILY VALUES: This family values open-mindedness, diversity of perspectives, and love of nature and outdoors, humor, and keeping things in perspective. They are so grateful for their children that when parenting gets frustrating, they remember, "These are the problems we prayed to have." They laugh and don't sweat the small stuff. They also value perseverance. They encourage their kids to work through problems, be self-compassionate when they get upset, and move on. Lastly, they value flexibility. The only constant they have noticed in parenting is change. They often have to pivot at the moment, and it helps when everyone can roll with the punches and have a good attitude about it.
FROM THE BABYSITTERS: “I had the privilege of working for nearly two years with this family, and it truly felt like being a part of their wonderful family. They are joyful and supportive, and the kids are some of the sweetest and most enjoyable to care for.” Gabriela
“I have been working for this family since April. They are extremely respectful and expect the same from the kids, always communicate when something will change, and never have been late at the end of the day. The children are polite, and the parents work hard to make you work easier; they have a good and easy routine, they are very lovely and smart, and they are always up to play. I can say that they always did everything to make me comfortable in their house, and we never had any issues.” Nanny Isabella
"I had the honor of working with this family. Their oldest brought so much joy to my life. When my schedule shifted to where I couldn’t remain with them long-term, I still jumped at the chance for random days and date nights because I just loved hanging out with them that much! The parents are caring, supportive, flexible, and hilarious. I always felt welcome and comfortable in their home. The boys are kind, respectful, creative, FUN, and so loving. If I still lived in Washington, I would work with them again in a heartbeat." Natasha
"I have been working with their youngest for almost three years since and with the youngest his whole life. They are amazing kids. They are cute, energetic, funny, and full of curiosity. They love books, buildings, art, and so many things.
One has a big imagination and is a natural artist! He likes being home, his pajamas, and listening to stories. He loves superheroes and dreams up new plans and projects every day! The other kiddo LOOVES food!, the moon, and music (Baby Beluga from Raffi & Moonshadow from Cat Stevens). He really wants to do all the things his big brother can do and is very determined. He is very funny, has lots of questions, and is the sweetest. It has given me great joy to watch these sweet babies grow and grow!" Karen

She is curious and lively and needs a companion on her adventures. She enjoys the neighborhood park (especially the slide!), books, and music classes. She loves her newborn baby brother who is just a few days old.
