Additional hours/days needed occasionally for date nights.
An ideal candidate is energetic, kind, fun, creative, patient, trustworthy and responsible and has experience with toddlers through adolescents. Experience with with special needs a plus.
Should also be a good role model, use sound judgment, and conduct themselves professionally. Being able to multi-task and prioritize children's varying needs is essential. (Our older two are very helpful with the 3 year old--and he's also pretty laid back--but they like to have fun and build a relationship with their caretaker as well).
Our children enjoy crafts, music/dancing, imaginative play, swimming, movies, playing outdoors, board games, dolls, and other fun/creative activities.
Light/quick/easy cooking (kids meals, snacks) and basic clean-up is expected and appreciated. Childcare would be primarily at our home, but a clean driving record is expected in the event of occasional outings and/or school pick-up is ever needed. (Of course compensation would be provided for gas and any extra expenses when applicable).
Our previous sitter(s) graduated and moved away, but one was with us for 4 years (another also grew close over the course of a year) and both were like a part of our family. We hope to find someone new we can grow to be just as comfortable with! Please reply if you think you're our person!
