Hi! We have a 17 month old boy who is a super happy toddler who just learned to walk. We also have a 4.5 year old energetic and adventurous girl who will be starting kindergarten in Freeport in the fall. She is a hoot, super fun and loves to make her brother laugh!
We are currently looking for someone to start at the end of august/beginning of September ideally for the school year and beyond if possible.
Mom works full days Mondays and Tuesdays but also needs flexible care Wed-Friday and is willing to come up with a schedule that fits everyone. (MT 8-6, 5 hour days WThF would be a rough schedule). We would appreciate someone who loves to be outdoors, can do light housework (tidy up kids spaces, dishes, etc) and who would be able to babysit some evenings/weekends if we need a break! Driving is a must as our girl may need pick up/drop off at school and also for you to get out and explore with our kids—we have no problem with bringing them on outings-beach, walks, etc. and this is much encouraged. We have lots of gear to help you have fun!
We had a nanny for our girl until she was 3 and loved her. She is still part of our family, but now lives out of state. We loved having the ability to have our child spend one on one time with someone at home during these first couple of years and think it gave her an important sense of stability. We would like the same for our son.
We believe in an active lifestyle with our little one as we are active and outdoorsy ourselves. We are liberal and open and would like to raise a well rounded son with a curiosity for all life has to offer. Exploration, creative play, getting dirty, and healthy food are all encouraged! Spanish speaking is a perk but not necessary.
We have found that someone who is confident, patient, grounded, intuitive (has good common sense), kind, and at least a little adventurous works best with our family. We are silly and fun. We appreciate honest, direct communication.
Thanks for checking us out!
