A little bit about us…

Looking to potentially higher a part-time nanny to help watch out 3 year old son in the fall. My wife and I both work and are hesitant to send him back to daycare. Looking for someone to come by 10-2 or 3ish, 4-5 days per week. You will be watching him, helping him learn, potentially taking him on play dates (socially distant as much as possible) with trusted friends, feeding him, etc. We do have a 5 year old dog - he has an electric fence so he doesn't need walks but he may need to go out occasionally. He also can take a while to warm up to strangers.
