A warm and active family of four in Spokane, WA, is seeking a high-energy live-in or live-out nanny for two young children, ages 1 and 4, with a third child expected in May 2026. The ideal candidate is experienced, reliable, and capable of creating a nurturing, fun, and engaging environment for active children. They should be skilled in providing structured routines, purposeful play, outdoor activities, sports, and developmentally appropriate enrichment.

 

Fluency in Spanish is a plus but not required. The family plans to care for the newborn themselves for the first six months, during which the 4-year-old will be in preschool and the 1-year-old will be transitioning to daycare. After this period, the nanny’s primary responsibility will be the youngest child, who will then be around six months old and cared for throughout the day.

 

The family values candidates who can support healthy eating habits and prepare nutritious meals for their children. They are looking for a long-term, trusted partnership with a professional who can combine high energy and creativity with warmth, reliability, and the ability to maintain household routines as needed.

 

 

Located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, the home is close to parks and local cafés and offers convenient access to shops. Downtown Spokane is about 10 minutes by car, and Spokane International Airport (GEG) is approximately 15 minutes away.

 

The Nanny will be provided with a private bedroom and ensuite bathroom located on the main floor of a spacious single-family home. The bedroom is situated off the family room, offering privacy and separation from the rest of the household, as all other family bedrooms are located upstairs.
