Your responsibilities will include washing our son's lunchbox, doing the kids' laundry, and organizing their things while the baby naps. Around 4 PM, you will wake the baby, change him, and give him a snack. You will also be responsible for bathing and playing with the 4-year-old and playing with the baby as needed.

We are looking for someone with experience caring for toddlers, someone who takes initiative, and someone comfortable with bathing young children safely. Phone use should be kept to a minimum while caring for the kids. CPR certification will be considered a plus.

Occasional extra hours may be available for appointments. We will start with a paid trial afternoon.
