A little bit about us…

My wife and I are going back to work in February and are seeking care for our child, Kenzo, who will be ~5 months in Feb. We're seeking someone who can reliably provide care for 2-3 days per week (depending on which days you prefer), for the foreseeable future (at least until he is 1 years old, but likely longer).

My partner and I work from home 2-3 days per week, and will stagger our schedules so one of us is always home and can directly handle any emergencies. Given his age, we mainly expect you to bottle feed him pumped breast milk / formula, give him play time, change him, and put him down for naps.

We have a 3 year old 20 pound dachshund mix who loves people and has never shown aggression. She spends most sunny months snoozing in the sun in our backyard. You won't need to tend to her.

The most important things we're looking for in a caregiver is someone who is reliable, can take direction, and is well-referred by others they've worked with. Our baby (currently 2 months) is already sleeping through the night and we're hoping to sleep train him to have 3-5 naps for 1-2 hours per day, so hopefully he'll be fairly low-maintenance.

We’re here for you at every step of the process
