Hello! I am the mother of a silly, 5-year-old and a very curious 10-month-old. Our family home has three friendly dogs and one very calm cat. My eldest is starting preschool and I will be studying for an exam over the next several months. We have had live-in au pairs in the past and had great experiences with both, as well as occasional babysitters. Our home includes myself, my sister, my mother, and my two nieces (12 and 10). My nieces will likely not be home and do not require any caregiving.
I am looking for someone to watch my 10-month-old in my home a few mornings a week. It would also involve picking up my 5-year-old from a nearby preschool (half-day program). In total, it would be about 4.5 hours a day, 4 days a week. The 5-year-old will be in preschool for much of the time. This position involves primarily caring for my 10-month-old, changing diapers, engaging in safe play, and comforting. It also involves engaging my oldest in play and feeding both children lunch.
