Our Wonderful Part-Time Nanny (Emily) is Available 2 Days/Week

[Anonymous]

Hi fellow DMV parents,

I'm posting here on behalf of our part-time nanny, Emily, who helps take care of my 3-year-old daughter and 3-month-old son three days a week at our home in North Bethesda. Emily has been with us for just a few weeks, but she comes highly recommended by her previous two families (each of whom have two, young mixed-age siblings) and she's been a wonderful addition to our household.

Since she's only in our home three days/wk, she's looking to help another family part-time (ideally on Thursdays and Fridays each week, but the days could be flexible). She lives in outer Silver Spring, but is able to commute around the DMV by metro/bus/scooter for now and is hoping to buy a car soon.

Emily is originally from Brazil, but her conversational English is quite strong after spending two years as an au pair in San Francisco, CA, and Towson, MD, respectively. My wife and I speak no Portuguese and we've had no problem communicating with Emily in English.

After just a few short weeks, our daughter absolutely loves dancing, playing, and doing arts & crafts with Emily. And my wife and I fully trust Emily to keep our kids safe, engaged, and supported in their ongoing physical, cognitive, and emotional development.

If you'd like to speak with Emily, you can reach her directly via email at [e-mail]. If you'd like to speak with me directly about our experience with her, you can reach me directly at [e-mail].

Thanks, and best of luck with your childcare searches!
