Liam is nearly three years old and very energetic. He has a pleasant demeanor. He is on the autism spectrum, so I'd prefer someone with knowledge in this area. Liam has some speech delays and is receiving therapy, but he can communicate what he wants.
This temporary role lasts 1-2 months, working two days weekly and occasionally on weekends (ongoing).
You will need to accompany Liam to local daytime activities.

I am a mother of two children, aged 2 and 4 years old. They are loving and fun kids. My oldest child is able to take care of herself in the morning, but my son requires more assistance, such as changing his diaper and moving him out of the crib. Typically, they wake up around 8 am. During this time, all you have to do is relax until they wake up and prepare their breakfast. I am in need of a babysitter every Sunday from 6:30 am to 2:30 pm, starting from November 26th until December 17

I want you to start part time from Oct 1st until Oct 30th tentatively.
Until the baby comes, the main tasks are to bring Vrishank from school, feed him, bathe him, help with light house work etc. So I am thinking it will be best if you can come during the evenings, may be from 5:30-7:30 or from 6-8. I am assuming that this way, you can continue working at CLC in the morning, since I need you mostly in the evenings until the baby comes.
My baby is due in late October, so may be from Nov 1st until April 30th, I would like to hire someone full time, preferably from 8 to 6. I will be home from November to February. So I can help out as much I can. I may need this person to come over and stay 2-3 days in October when I am in the hospital, which is optional.
The primary tasks during this time would be taking care of the baby, feeding , bathing, changing diapers, light house work etc. Taking care of my older son is secondary, only when needed (picking him/dropping him off at daycare, feed him). We have a cleaning service and a person who comes to cook for us every 2 weeks, so I am assuming any work outside of caring for the children will be very minimal.

What Are Short-Term Nanny Jobs?
Short-term nanny jobs are temporary positions with a set end date, such as covering a parental leave, a family move, a summer, or a gap between nannies. They suit nannies who like variety, are between jobs, or want to try a family before committing.
Types of Short-Term Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Short-term jobs can be full-time or part-time and last from a few weeks to several months. Responsibilities are the same as in an ongoing job, with an emphasis on getting up to speed quickly. Check the dates, the hours, and whether there is a chance of the role being extended.
How to Interview for Short-Term Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- What are the start and end dates, and could the job be extended?
- Is the schedule full-time or part-time?
- What is the reason for the temporary role?
- How will I be paid, and is there a written agreement?
- What routines and house rules should I know on day one?
Beyond asking these questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
