We are looking for child care around Diane (my wife's) work schedule. Current set work days for August: Mondays
Future set work days starting in September: Wednesdays
The hours are flexible depending on the sitter's availability. A preferred schedule would be at our home by 8:30am at the latest and stay as late as 6pm. We both work in public service so the time we leave work can vary slightly but we always attempt to home by the agreed time. Breakfast and lunch meals for the kids will be preplanned. Cleaning up after the kids will be necessary. They may need help getting dressed, using the bathroom, and an occasional bath. No driving is required. We have 3 energetic, curious, kids who love outings, walking to parks, riding bikes and scooters, crafts, do a lot of imaginative play. Screen time is allowed in the morning. There is an e-bike available for outings. Because of our job type, we need someone who is very comfortable managing 3 kids and manages emergency situation if they arise with minimal contact. We can always be reached by phone but may not be able to answer a phone call or text immediately. Text updates are always appreciated even if we can't immediately return the message. We need someone who will be very kind and affectionate with our children but will also be firm to redirect any poor actions or behaviors. And we need someone that will be very engaged with the the kids during your time together. At this current moment the posting is for 1 day a week, however there is flexibility to pick up additional hours/days depending on sitter availability. We are a casual family, easy to approach and talk with, not strict on a schedule. We need someone dependable and on time who will communicate with us about what is working and what is not working while caring for our kids. If you are interested in knowing more about this position please reach out. Thanks. Pete and Diane.
