Jovie of CA, WA, and MN·Kirkland, Washington
The nanny will provide after-school care for two children, including homework supervision, snack preparation, and engaging them in creative activities. Additionally, the role involves light household tasks such as tidying, laundry, and kitchen organization.
A bit about us: We are a warm, easygoing family in Kirkland looking for an engaging after-school nanny to support our two school-age children throughout the school year. Our family values quality time together, sharing meals around the table, and creating opportunities to connect through conversation, games, and family activities. We are looking for someone who can become a positive role model, help encourage healthy routines, and bring fresh ideas that inspire our children to stay active and engaged beyond screens. This position is a wonderful opportunity for a nanny who enjoys building meaningful relationships with older children while also providing light household support before they arrive home from school.
You are energetic, outgoing, and naturally connect with school-age children through creativity, humor, and genuine enthusiasm. You're the type of person who can make everyday activities fun, encourage children to try new things, and confidently set kind but consistent boundaries around routines like homework and screen time. You enjoy thinking outside the box and know how to motivate children through positive choices and engaging activities rather than simply asking if they'd like to participate. Most importantly, you're dependable, proactive, and enjoy becoming a trusted part of a family's daily routine.
Your afternoons will begin before the children arrive home, allowing time to complete light household tasks such as tidying the kitchen and main living spaces, unloading or loading the dishwasher, light laundry, taking out the trash, and helping keep the home organized. After school, you'll pick up one child while the other arrives home by bus, prepare healthy after-school snacks, supervise homework and reading, and encourage engaging activities that balance creativity, outdoor play, and fun with friends. The children enjoy music, art, remote-control vehicles, video games, and spending time with family, so bringing new ideas that match their interests while expanding their horizons will be greatly appreciated. Occasional transportation to playdates or activities may also be part of the afternoon routine.: “Text NANNY to 206-752-6917 to apply and schedule your interview in under 3 minutes.
