The job would consist of infant care for 1, playtime and developmental activities, some light laundry for baby, and picking up baby items from around the house. We also have 1 easygoing pup who loves to snuggle and will need to be let out a few times a day. Hours will probably be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 7-5, but may increase to add Monday 1:30-5 and Friday 7-2 as I am able to return fully to my office. Hours are somewhat flexible based on nanny availability. No weekends or late nights needed. We’d love to meet you and look forward to working together!
