We are looking for a reliable, kind babysitter for our toddler for date nights 2–3 times per month, plus occasional weekend evenings for events. Most evenings include playtime, snacks or dinner, and a simple bedtime routine, with some nights primarily monitoring after bedtime. We also have a gentle elderly dog who only needs to be let outside and given a little attention. We are hoping to find someone dependable, communicative, and comfortable with toddlers who is interested in building an ongoing relationship with our family rather than one-time sitting opportunities.
