We are looking for a summer nanny for our two kids, girl 10yo and boy 8yo. Looking for someone who is comfortable driving kids to activities like summer day camps, pool, parks, movies, zoo, and so forth. We have two dogs, so the ideal candidate needs to be comfortable with dogs although no additional responsibilities will be required to care for the dogs. Parents will be working hybrid schedule and may be home some of the days. The expectation is that nanny and kids find an out the house activity, staying home all day. We have pool passes, zoo and science center passes, and lots of other fun ideas - but welcome a creative, energetic, and responsible individual. Candidate with a teaching or nursing background preferred. Thank you!

I have an 11 month old baby boy who name is Oliver he loves to play with his toys and his parents.
I work from noon to 9pm but his mother works only until 6pm. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday thru Saturday.
I would appreciate having my dog let out to go to the bathroom. But it isn't something that I expect to be done just taking care of my son.

I work weekends long days. Need someone every other weekend that I have them. Husband and I split up so we alternate weekends. Me and my daughter both umpire softball starting 1st weekend in June till the last weekend in October.
I have two boys. My 7 year old is non verbal autisic and unfortunately still in diapers. We are patiently working on that. My 5 year old will literally just talk your ear off unless he zoned into utube on his tablet.
Honestly my boys are super easy. When it is nice they want to be outside on the playset, trampoline, and swimming in the pool. So bring your sunglasses and a swimsuit. Book or tablet to sit back while they are outside.
If they are not doing that, most likely they will be on their tablets inside and want to watch something on the TV. My 7 year old will tell u when he wants something to eat. Usually handing u a bag of something to cook in the airfryer. Or some ramen noodles. There's not much he eats.
I need Saturday n Sundays every other week. And then, Maybe some Friday night if they have games. We can start as early as 8am and go till 10pm. Just depends on what park and how many teams are in the tournaments. I do have a spare room for late nights that u could just stay and not have to worry about leaving late and coming back next day early.
We do have 4 dogs and a cat for any allergy concerns. They are all really good and no reason to worry. All think they are lap dogs.
My boys can be slobs, all I ask is to make sure they are throwing things away and picking up. If you don't push it they will push to see how far they can go and get away with it.
I'm a single mom so I can't pay 15/20 an hour. Would like to pay a base rate for the whole weekend where it is actually worth me working!! Also Hoping to find someone that will come familiar with my kids and be consistent as our weekend sitter!
I will always have your favorite food, drinks, and snacks in the fridge for when u are here.
