After-School Aide for Redmond 9, 8, 6yo (20 hrs per week) Placement

Jovie
Redmond, WA, USA

Summary:

A bit about us: We are an inclusive family where love knows no boundaries, seeking an extra pair of hands and a calming presence during after-school hours (4-7 PM) and some weekends! Our ideal matches are compassionate and open-minded individuals who can join our diverse household, where every member is valued for who they are. Our three adopted children, aged 6, 8, and 9, are former foster youth with unique needs. We also have two friendly cats named Griffie and Marco. We prioritize laughter, conversations, and fun in our household. With a nonbinary family member at the heart of our home, we celebrate uniqueness and embrace diversity. Alongside our neurodivergent children and our experiences navigating the foster care system, we've cultivated an environment of empathy and resilience. If you're queer/an ally and looking for a supportive environment where you can truly be yourself, come be a part of our loving family.

Behavioral Expectations and Guidance: Our kids, aged 6, 8, and 9, are former foster youth and have ADHD, attachment issues, and impulse control challenges. We value caregivers who remain regulated, use redirection strategies, and adjust caregiving based on the kids' state. Strict disciplinarians won't be a good fit. We value open communication and a parent will be available in home or by phone for quick communication about any behavioral concerns if needed.

A bit about you: We are looking for a trauma-informed, neurodiverse-knowledgeable, and emotionally intelligent nanny who can connect with our children. Patience, adaptability, and a love for fostering connections are essential qualities.

Job Duties: Your workday will involve picking up the kids from school, facilitating outdoor play, and offering a calming presence during decompression time. Light snacks and reminders for simple tasks (such as putting their plates by the sink after eating) will be part of your responsibilities. On weekends, your assistance dividing and conquering with parents, so you could focus on one child's day preferences (such as going to the park) while we focus on the others would be so helpful. We use a digital shared calendar for scheduling and tracking activities.

Children’s Preferences:
All of our children have unique interests. Our eldest (non-binary) loves PE, singing, and sports; our middle child (son) enjoys math, computers, and video games; and our youngest (son) is into playtime, computers, and video games. Small, engaging, and fun activities work best for our children!
