The Basics

This is a full-time live-in nanny position in a safe neighborhood in the Washington DC metro area during the student's semester off (approx a 4-month commitment Jan-Apr, Apr-Aug, or Aug-Dec). If you love kid (a must!) and are looking for a short-term adventure to see all the sites in DC, this is a wonderful opportunity. I am looking for 5 nannies to be placed with 5 families. Only 2 of the 5 families are LDS (The Workmans: jared-krystal.blogspot.com). However, the other 3 families are accommodating to the needs of the LDS nanny (FHE on Monday, Institute on Thursday, Church on Sunday). The Workmans have been doing this for over two years; our family and the nannies have greatly enjoyed the arrangement.
