Part-Time Educator Nanny Preschooler; Placement

Summary

Jovie Bellevue, WA, USA. A bit about us:
We’re a warm, professional family in Bellevue seeking a long-term after‑school nanny for our 3‑year‑old son. With both parents working full‑time, we’re looking for a caregiver who can make weekday afternoons engaging, calm, and enriching after a busy school day. Kiaan attends preschool during the day, and we value intentional care that balances play, learning, and flexibility. We’re excited to welcome a nanny who feels like a trusted extension of our family.

Our 3yo son has recently started preschool, and our childcare needs have evolved. We are now looking for a high‑quality, education‑focused nanny to support him during after‑school hours. This role is ideal for someone with a background in early childhood education or child development who enjoys turning afternoons into meaningful, engaging learning experiences through play, structure, and curiosity.

• Create a calm, engaging after‑school routine until ~7:30 pm
• Lead developmentally appropriate, play‑based learning activities (language, early literacy, numeracy, creative play, problem‑solving)
• Encourage reading, storytelling, and age‑appropriate educational games
• Support social‑emotional development through structured play and positive reinforcement
• Prepare simple snacks / light meals as needed
• Maintain a tidy, organized environment related to the child’s activities
• Communicate regularly with parents on progress, interests, and observations

• Background in early childhood education, preschool teaching, child psychology, or child development (formal training strongly preferred)
• Experience working with preschool‑aged children in a structured learning environment
• Strong understanding of play‑based learning and child‑led engagement
