A little bit about us…

I'm a library branch manager and looking for childcare for my two adorable kids 1 to 2 weekend days a month.
My son Miles loves toy cars and showing his books or vehicles to company.
My daughter Kali loves helping around the home, and playing.
They both love being read to, music and dancing, going outside, and learning new things.
I would like childcare one Saturday or Sunday a month while I'm at work. The frequency changes due to work schedule. Childcare includes, preparing and serving the kids food; walks outside or trips to a local park; and reading books and play.
The schedule is 8:45 to 5:15p when needed for a full day. Possible other days half day on the weekend.
If you are a good nature person experienced in childcare, please consider this opportunity to care for two awesomely beautiful young kids.
Thank you.

Hello, we are looking for a nanny and a family for nanny sharing starting end of August 2023 (long term) . We have a bubbly 6 months old and ideally we could find a family with a child of a similar age.
Both me and my husband work in the tech world . He is a software engineer and I work in finance. Some days we work from home , but we will need to go in office often . We do not expect anything else from the nanny besides taking care of the baby, reading and singing with him and keeping his items clean.
Thank you
