A little bit about us
Looking for a caring, reliable individual to watch our newborn son 2 days a week when I return to work 8/9. He was born 7 weeks prematurely and has had follow up appointments with therapy services since he left the NICU. There are some detailed instructions as far as eating, routine, development, etc. that are important to us. Start date is flexible and am open to days and location / situation if watching him at our home isn't preferred. We do have 2 dogs but our yard is fenced and they would require minimal attention.
