We need someone on Mondays to watch our baby boy. I work nights and have no one during the day to help me out with him so I can sleep so I will be home while the nanny is here watching my son. Plus would love someone who could pick up extra babysitting times on other days with enough notice for times we can’t take our baby with us to do something.

A little bit about us…

We are interested in hiring a nanny instead of having our children attend daycare. Isabelle, Ben and Sam are all great kids that like to play and learn. Izzy has been in gymnastics for years and Benjamin is starting soccer this year. I am active duty military and regularly deploy and my wife is an RN that works varying hours (sometimes 4-10s & sometimes 3-12s). The only drop off that would be needed is dropping Izzy off at school in the morning and she can ride the bus home. We also have two dogs but they are very well behaved and pretty much take care of themselves.
