Hello! We are a family of 4 who live in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn with a studious but secretly hilarious 10 year old girl and an energetic 3 year old boy. My husband and I are both working writers (I work in TV/Film, theater and write novels, and he is a novelist and works as an editor for the New York Times.) We have an apartment filled with many books and love to read, listen to music, play games, go to the park, visit museums, and laugh with our kids.
We are looking for a sitter to pick up our 10 year old from school at 2:35 (25 min walk from our apartment though there is a bus), help w/ homework & practicing, bring her to & from activities or playdates and stay until 6/6:30pm. Occasionally (not very often) we might also ask that the sitter pick up our son from daycare (he can be there until 5pm, we tend to like to pick him up a little earlier). Availability as an evening sitter on occasion is a plus but not a requirement.
Usually one of us will bring home our son at 5, and it would be great if the sitter could either engage with him or take him out for the last bit of the day while we cook dinner/check in with our daughter! We would also be open to someone working less than all 5 days of the week, so please still get in touch if this seems great but you can't do every day!
