Hello, I'm looking for a licensed childcare provider to babysit our infant daughter. She is 9 months old and a chill baby! Mostly this would be in the evenings while she is sleeping (goes down at 7:00pm) so my wife and I can go out to dinner and events. We can only accept licensed providers due to the stipulations put on our childcare support provided by my employer.

A little bit about us

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and loving nanny in Boston to help with my children for approximately 10 weeks.

Most importantly, I’m looking for someone who loves God and genuinely loves children. I want someone who is patient, kind, responsible, and understands that caring for children requires trust, love, and good character.

📅 Schedule & Responsibilities

👧🏽 My 11-year-old:

During the first week, both children will be home. After that, my 11-year-old will be attending school. The nanny will be responsible for meeting her at the school bus and bringing her home.

👶🏽 My 2-year-old:

After the first week, my 2-year-old will be spending the daytime with Grandpa, so the nanny will primarily be caring for my 11-year-old after school.

🏠 While at home:

I would appreciate help with preparing simple meals, keeping the children’s areas tidy, and light cleaning while you are home. This is not a heavy housekeeping position.

I’m looking for someone who is dependable, respectful of our home and family, communicates well, and will treat my children with love, patience, and respect.
