A little bit about us
We have a newborn child (boy, 3 weeks old) and would like help with:
Housekeeping - standard cleaning, tidying, organization, dishes, trash take out
Laundry - Once per week, folded and put away
Occasional light meals & grocery runs - this is not required but is a definite plus. The grocery store is right down the street and meals could be made in bulk to last a few days if this service could be provided.
Possible occasional running of errands
Occasional childcare (feeding, diaper changing, etc). We are still working out our new schedule and may want this person to cover some “night nurse/nanny” shifts in the future.
We are still adjusting to becoming new parents! We are open to your recommendations in creating our new schedule as well and look forward to speaking with an experienced nanny housekeeper.
Thanks!
