Friends, first and foremost, I want to thank you for all the support you’ve given me when I’ve needed anything before, including helping us in our search for a nanny for our kids.

We’ve had a mixed blessing recently - we have a wonderful human being serving as our nanny / household assistant, and we couldn’t be happier. Sadly, because of circumstances out of any of our control, she needs to move on to her home state (which is in a galaxy far, far away, known as ‘New York’, heard of it). Anyway, we need to find a replacement ASAP to start ideally by Jan 5th, 2012.

Here’s the job description. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas / NYE and you deeply appreciate any help you can provide. For those of you that know me well, you know that we’re great employers and we take care of our own (sometimes to our detriment! :-(

Thanks again:

“Looking for the perfect long term fit for my family. Hours are Monday - Friday 2-6 pm with one night each week till 7 pm instead. Extra weekend, along with date night “babysitting” hours are needed as well, including occasional overnights. Pay is competitive and will be discussed at time of interview.

We are looking for you to treat our home as if it were your own, including weekly grocery shopping, household cleanup (we have a cleaner, we are not asking you to be her :-) ), laundry, and general household chores throughout the week to go along with childcare. Our current nanny will be giving you the full rundown and a couple days of training to get a hang of the routine, but official hours begin on Monday, January 9th, as our current nanny is moving out of state.

This is absolutely a 50/50 household management/childcare job.

Thanks for reading - we look forward to hearing from you.”
