A little bit about us
Hello! We're in need of part-time childcare for our 2-year-old identical twin girls during the coming 2024–25 academic year. For the fall semester, something like 12-ish hours a week: Mondays 9AM–5PM + Tuesdays 1–5PM (w/ 1PM pick-up from CNS Nursery School). Spring semester needs are TBD. We can offer $25/hour.
We're in search of a childcare provider who creates an engaging environment and prioritizes education and creative activities with our twins. We like to limit screen time as much as possible, and instead enjoy reading books together, creating arts and crafts projects, playing outside, going for walks, visiting the local library, wandering through the Ithaca Children's Garden, exploring at the Sciencenter, etc.
Responsibilities—in addition to spending quality time with our twins—includes light chores: snack and mealtime preparation and clean-up, tidying-up toys, laundry (if necessary), etc.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you think you might be a great fit for our twins!
