A little bit about us

Hello! We are looking for a weekend nanny! I work from home on weekends so I’ll be around but I need help so I can focus. I’ll be there if there are questions or she has a hard time or whatever tho :D she is super super cute (no bias whatsoever) and loves to make happy screams, throw toys around, snuggle, drink milk, eat yogurt, pet our cat, and be bounced. She’s very chill for a baby and is super sweet. We have a sweet chill cat, so if you’re allergic that’s a problem cus the cat is on everything. Hours are flexible — I just need like 15 hours to focus on weekends. Whether that’s mostly one day or split evenly between the two doesn’t matter. Looking for someone consistent (so there isn’t an issue with stranger danger) but one weekend schedule need not look like another. If you have something Saturday one weekend all good as long as you can take her more on Sunday 😎 about me — I’m a phd student at MIT and also work a bit for a hedge fund. My partner’s a weekend night nurse so she sleeps daytime on weekends. My priority is that my baby girl is super happy and having fun :)
