A little bit about us…

Hello everyone, 👋🏽
Our Dumfries family is looking for a home assistant/ Family helper. We are a pretty busy family. Both parents work . Our family lives are swamped with activities! By the time we are done working, we just want to use all of our free time relaxing with our kiddos. We now have a newborn added to our family and we need help during the day with our little guy while we work (from home most days) With that said, we need someone to help out about 20 hours a week.

Hours would look something like:
Monday- 9am-1pm or 12pm-4pm
Tuesday- 830am-330pm
Wednesday- OFF
Thursday- 9am- 1pm
Friday- 9am- 1pm

The BIGGEST thing we need help with aside the baby is LAUNDRY; It's never ending!

This position is for a family helper! The parents will be in the house most days working out of their work from home office. The baby is a newborn baby and sleeps most of the day.

But time may be spent

• Keeping the baby safe!
• Baby care to include: Changing diapers, feeding breast milk to the baby, respecting baby's schedule

• Noticing needed household maintenance and ensuring we know

• Keeping a running list of household items that need to be replenished such as groceries, soap, trash bags etc and putting groceries away if delivered during your working time.

• Grocery shopping/ running errands

• Laundry

• Meal preparation - Helping us to prep for meals and school lunches

• Light housekeeping

This is not things to be done every single day, but an example of things that we can use help with during downtime while the baby is asleep or while the baby is feeding with mom or hanging out with dad etc.

* Occasional help with 2 older siblings when out of school

A little bit about us…

Hi, we are Terrence and Elizaveta.
We are lucky parents to Dimitri, who was born August 2022. Dimitri is a curious, somtimes serious, bundle of love and smiles.

We are both working parents looking for a nanny and family to share a nanny with during our working hours. One of us is currently fully remote, and the other is hybrid (working from home on Mondays and Fridays).

The main responsibilities we are hoping to fulfill are feeding (as well as prepping baby's meals), changing, bathing, napping, and developmental/outdoor activities.

For now we are looking for a two month arrangement with the possibility of extending it further.

Looking forward to getting to know you better.
