WASHINGTON, D.C. family looking for live-in housekeeper/nanny

Active American family with three boys, ages 4, 7 and 9, looking for warm, energetic, detail-oriented person who loves children (especially boys!) for live-in housekeeper/nanny position. Boys are in school during the day, so we need help with all housekeeping duties during that time (cleaning, laundry, straightening, organizing etc). After school, duties include driving them to activities, helping with homework, dinner and baths, and, most importantly, playing and having fun with them. Daily schedule is flexible, but need someone willing to work some weekends. We have a terrific apartment with its own entrance and live in a wonderful area of Washington, close to the Metro, shops, restaurants and movie theater. Great salary and benefits for the right person.

Good driving record, proficient English, previous experience and excellent references are all musts. Position to start in May or June 2007. Please send an e-mail about yourself and experience to k.schwartz@starpower.net.

In response to your posting, I am single (mother of 2 adults) from Connecticut looking for career change (presently office mgr.). Impeccable driving record, fantastic references (upon request), fair-to-good cook (have owned 2 breakfast-lunch establishments in my past), great housekeeper, great with kids as well, in great health, too!

This is my first attempt at job search on internet. Would appreciate a response. Thanks very much.
