Sitter in Riverside, California

I'm an
Individual
We have the most amazing nanny and now that our boy is over the age of 2, we are looking to do a nanny share. This allows our child the same level of care, but also an ability to have a playmate and interaction with another child his age. Looking for: Nice family with a boy or girl, ages 2 – 3 (will consider older child as well) Hours: 4 days a week, Monday-Tuesday, Thursday-Friday (Wednesday off) Cost: Our nanny will be paid $2200 monthly salary, split unevenly: We pay $1200 and other family pays $1000. I pay extra for housekeeping. Food is not included, but for a small amount more we can buy extra each week. If you only need care for part of the hours (less than the 40 she is in our home, please let us know and we will be able to work something else out for cost sharing). Our nanny is paid over the table- so taxes, W-4, etc all apply for her. Of note: Our nanny is 25 years old, trained as a school teacher in Uruguay. She lives close by our home and does not have a car. She has a bike and we have a double bike trailer that she uses to take our son to the park, etc. There is a park close by our home (Mountain View), so they walk together now that he is older. She has been with us since our son was 9 months old. She has never been late and only called out sick 1 time. She is highly reliable, but most importantly, we have never worried about our child in her care. Not even once. She is very diligent about his safety as well has his schedule and what he is fed. We follow a very healthy diet. No television is watched during these hours. We have a separate room for napping, but a pack-n-play would need to be provided. Our child is potty trained since 20 months old, so your child would need to be fully potty trained as well. I am not going to ask her to start changing diapers again. As far as her being a teacher, it is important to understand what you are paying for. She has taught our child amazing manners for a 2 years old. She is aware of the way we like to handle situations with him and is always supportive and helps us raise him. She does a lot of reading and has many time offered very helpful suggestions for team parenting and raising a healthy, smart, and considerate child. At the age of 2 he knows his entire ABC song, he speaks in 5-8 word sentences, knows his own name and how to spell it, he can count to 10 in English and 5 in Spanish, he knows all his colors in English and Spanish, he knows all his shapes (including hexagon, pentagon, trapezoid, etc). He can read the first 20 pages of Go Dog Go by himself because he understands what the pictures are saying. She is truly amazing. He knows so much more than that, but we have no illusions that this has all been by our nanny. He loves to read and has never once not enjoyed learning the way she teaches him. I came home 2 days ago and he said to me “X is for Xylophone” and now it turns out he knows not only his ABC song, but he knows “A is for apple, B is for bear,” etc. FOR THE WHOLE ALPHABET. We have hundreds of books and we do a lot of reading here. We live on Jurupa Ave and Palm, the care would be at our home. We have a small (always groomed) terrier mix that is well behaved and loves children. He is very calm and not easily aroused. We don’t smoke and our nanny is also our house keeper. The home is always clean and tidy. Our son has allergies and eczema, so we limit exposures in that regard. At our request upon hiring, she did CPR training. She has proof all vaccines are up to date. Only serious inquiries please. If you are interested and think you may be a good fit for our family and our nanny, please contact us with details about your family and child. The schedule is not flexible, Wednesdays are her day off. Our number is two zero.... Thank you!
