  • 2 children (Infant, Elementary)
  • $25.00 - $40.00 per hour

Hi! I’m looking for a reliable, experienced caregiver for my 6-week-old baby and 9-year-old during a one-week period.

I’m seeking part-time help (approximately 4–6 hours per shift, a few days that week), primarily during daytime hours. This role is best suited for someone comfortable with newborn care and light supervision of a school-age child.

What the role looks like:
* Care for a 6-week-old infant (feeding support, soothing, diapering, naps, holding)
* Light supervision of a 9-year-old (independent but may need snacks, simple activities, or company)
* Help create space for mom to rest, shower, exercise, or step out briefly
* Parent will be home during most or all shifts

Important details:
* Must have strong experience with newborns (under 3 months preferred)
* Must be comfortable caring for two children at once for short periods
* Calm, attentive, and reliable presence is essential

Ideal candidate:
* Experienced nanny, postpartum doula, or mother’s helper
* Confident with very young infants
* Engaging but not overly screen-dependent with older kids
* Strong communication and punctuality

Schedule:
Flexible daytime hours (likely mornings). Maybe -
1-2 evenings. Exact days/times to be coordinated.

**Because I have a very young newborn, I’m only considering applicants with direct infant experience under 3 months old and comfort independently managing infant care for short periods while I’m home.
