Job description

We are seeking a reliable and proactive babysitter for our family in Oakland, CA. Your primary responsibility will be to care for our two children, a 4-year-old and a 16-month-old, during weekday afternoons while I take our older son to his activities.

Your afternoon will begin at 2:00 PM with the baby usually napping. During this time, you'll be responsible for washing our son's lunchbox, doing the kids' laundry, and tidying and organizing the kids' belongings. By 4:00 PM, you'll need to wake, change, and give the baby a snack before we arrive home. From 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, you will bathe and engage in play activities with our 4-year-old and/or play with the baby.

We're looking for someone who has hands-on experience with toddlers, takes initiative, is comfortable with safely bathing young children, and keeps their phone away while caring for our kids. Availability for the entire school year is required, and CPR certification is a plus. Occasionally, extra hours may be available for appointments. We will begin with a paid trial afternoon.

No pets are in the home, and your duties will include feeding and bathing, but there will be no driving or bedtime responsibilities.
