Part Time Nanny: Madison, WI

A kind, active family in West Madison is searching for an experienced and nurturing nanny for their two girls. 

Both parents are physicians,  balancing busy professional lives while maintaining a warm and engaging home environment for their girls. 

They love spending time outdoors, whether running, biking, or exploring nearby parks. Music is a big part of their lives—Dad enjoys playing the piano and guitar, and both parents love attending live music events whenever they can. Cooking and preparing meals together is another cherished family activity!

Children (3.5 & 17 months)

• The oldest is independent, imaginative, and loves creative play. With a love for books and outdoor activities, she enjoys reading, attending preschool a couple of mornings each week, and engaging in messy, creative activities! 

• The younger child is starting to show their fun personality, full of energy, and loves to mimic everything older sister does. She has a sweet and adventurous spirit.

Both girls love to play together and helping in the kitchen and around the house!

The family lives in a walkable neighborhood with several nearby parks. The oldest child walks to preschool, and the nanny may be responsible for walking or driving them as needed.
