Looking for full time care for infants starting in July (he will be 5 1/2 months old). Would be typical working hours (M-F, 9-5). We live off of Devine St in Old Shandon! Require that nanny is comfortable with dogs if working in our home, as we have an 8 year old mini Aussie. We are looking for someone with infant experience, CPR/first aid training. It would be even better if they have early childhood education training. Additional responsibilities outside of care for our child would be maintenance of the home while you're there (leave the home as you find it, light housework). We are interested in nanny share so our little guy has someone to grow/spend time with!
