A little bit about us
Hello! I have 2 young children - Leo (boy, age 5) and Aurora (girl, age 2.5). My fiancé works Monday-Friday from 6:30am-6pm and I am a nurse working sporadic 12.5 hour shifts at St. Luke’s Meridian. I work part time, 2 days a week. We currently pay my mom to watch them. Finances are tight and we are trying to pay for a wedding and work our way out of debt so I really need to start working full time. As a nurse - this equates to one additional 12.5 hour shifts a week. My mom is unable to watch them for this additional shift, and I would like to have childcare lined up before I request full time from my employer. Once I request to work full time, I plan on picking up extra shifts until they can let me start as full time. So the hours as of right now would be one day, sometime between M-F, 6:00am-7:30 pm. We also need a babysitter/nanny every Wednesday night 5:30-8 through July 16th for a class. Leo finishes up preschool the end of May, and if one of the days you watch them for is a school day (M-Th) he would need driven to school and picked up [phone number hidden]). Leo has ADHD and Sensory Processing Disorder. He is high energy and loves to talk about cars and construction and police officers. Aurora has autism, and currently in speech therapy trying to develop and work on her communication. She is a sweet happy girl in her own little world.
***My mom may be getting shoulder surgery soon, and we would potentially need a nanny full time if she gets surgery. We will know in July! And we could make it a permanent transition to you being full time or just temporary until she heals and rehabs.
The kids are allowed to watch TV and have their tablets. We aren’t super strict about that. You can play on your phone here and there, if they nap you can too. You can eat our food. We just want to make sure they are safe, fed, and happy while we are gone.
Ty!

Hi I am currently seeking a baby sitter to watch my 8-year-old son from [phone number hidden] from 9am- 1 p.m. Long story short I wasn't able to find a day camp type setting for my son for spring break and now I need childcare! My son (Lucius) is diagnosed with Tourette's and ADHD, he's pretty easy going and can be kept busy with various toys, games, TV and of course his tablet. He isn't extremely symptomatic when it comes to his Tourette's and only really exhibits symptoms when he's either nervous or excited. If you have experience with children who have ADHD or feel like your up to the challenge please feel free to get in touch.
