A little bit about us
Hello I am a single mom of three I have to school age kids that I almost always need care for while I work. The youngest stays with his dad sometimes so it would be rare that I would need care for all three. I work night shift 12 hours but can park something out to work 8 hours if that works for the sitter. Some days the kids are in after school until 5:30 p so I would need help with pick ups if possible. The kids usually eat dinner, take baths, do any homework needed for that day then off to bed. They are allowed tv time

We're planning in advance for a start date in late July 2024.
We have a 6-yo girl in fulltime grade school, and a 15-mo girl currently in daycare.
Ideal situation would be help when Avon schools are in session, July through May (except Fall, Winter, and Spring Breaks), from 8am to 5-6pm, M-F.
Watch the youngest at our house while we work, get the older girl off the bus, and provide light house cleaning/tidying up during the day.

A little bit about us
Hello! I'm looking for a nanny for a unique set of needs. We live on the NW side of Indy. I have a foster daughter that I'm in the process of adopting who will be 3 in October. I'm due with a baby boy in January. My mother, who had a stroke 15 years ago, lives with us. I'm needing care for all the of them, starting in February. Hours would be 7-4:30 most days, M-F. The nanny will primarily focus on the children, but will be available to help my mother as needed, as well as help her shower 3 times/week. My daughter will most likely go to part-time preschool so I need someone comfortable with driving the children. Light housekeeping will also be needed. Please message me if you're interested in learning more about this position.
