We are looking for a babysitter from August 18-26th from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Our son, Dylan (normal birth, full term, no special needs), is 3 years old, very bright, and very happy. He loves to laugh, play with his cars and balls, and build with blocks. He is done with summer camps and his school does not start until August 27th. So we are looking for a fun, caring, and responsible babysitter, who will have an amazing and fun time with Dylan. Our babysitter will need to help Dylan with going to the bathroom, give him food and water, clean up, and engage in learning and games. We have a dog who is 5 years old. He is a golden retriever mix and he is very sweet. We will make plans for his care, but he may be around during the day. We may need you to pick up our other child from school at the end of his day around 5.
After this job, we would consider hiring for weekend babysitting as well. You can find us on facebook as well.
Thank you!

A little bit about us
Our first child will be born this July (end of the month) and we are looking for part-time or shared childcare to support us when I go back to work in late October. He will be 3 months old. Our schedule is currently flexible; if we are not sharing, most likely it will be from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm three or four days a week (15-20 hours/week). If it is shared, we could go up to 40 hours a week, 9-5 or 8-4 Monday-Friday.
We are looking to keep this arrangement at least until he is 6 months old in late January and possibly until he turns 1 in July next year when we will be looking at full-time daycare. If it works out great for everyone it could be longer.
We have one dog who is about 3 years old, she will be going to daycare twice a week from 8-5 and otherwise would be home. We are both hybrid workers but I primarily work from home. So, for a shared arrangement, ideally it would be in the other family's home, but our home has enough space that we could remain separated. For the part-time arrangement, my husband and I would aim to work outside the home on the days/hours the nanny was working, and would stay in our office while the nanny was there if we did end up working from home.
We prefer a non-smoker with reliable transportation who is okay with (ideally who likes) dogs. CPR and First Aid certification is a requirement. As our son gets older, we would like a nanny who has a sense of developmentally appropriate activities like playing outside, crafts, games, books, etc. versus relying on screentime.
The only responsibilities would be related to childcare, but a little light housekeeping related to the baby like washing bottles, emptying diaper pail, or light tidying up before the end of the day would be asked.

We have two kids Angel and Khloe. We Will need someone for afterschoool and bedtime hours while I am taking real estate classes through the fall and winter. The hours would be 5-8. There would not need to be any drop off or pick up times but we do have neighborhood playgrounds you could go to. Responsibilities would be light dinner prep and managing snacks and clean up. Hours would differ depending on my classes but we would probably try to keep it Monday through Saturday, with Saturday being 5 hours instead of 3. Or Friday 5 hours instead of 3.

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.
