A little bit about us…

Hi!

I’m looking for a nanny for my 2 children available to hire for Monday, next week. Are you available for that day?

Here are some details: I start a new job Monday and I would need to leave for work at 5:15am, so I would need you to be at my home at 5a M-F. You would get them ready for school and then take them to school and daycare. I also may need to pick them up, I’ll see how my schedule goes. The weekend would go a little differently since they will be out of school, I would need you to care for them for my whole shift.

The pay rate would be 19.00/hour. I would expect you to cook meals for them, keep the home clean and entertain them. If you think you would be a good fit for this position please send me a message. Thanks so much!

A little bit about us…

My family and I have moved to the city and are in search of an amazing nanny for our 4 kids while my husband and I work full time. We are looking into day care and schooling, but do not have those in place yet so we are considering this to be a full time position for all 4 kids. In the future we may ask for assistance with pick up and drop off depending on the programs we can find. Our kids are super sweet and funny and love to put on shows, go outside and play in the snow, sing and dance, do craft projects, and we certainly don't mind giving them some tablet time in the evening! We are looking for an 8 hour day give or take with some variations, we would need weekend help every once in a while.
