We seek a reliable occasional babysitter (mostly after school hours, i.e. 3 - 6 or 7pm various days per week) and sometimes weekend hours - for our elementary-age child. The sitter will engage our daughter in fun activities, prepare meals and snacks, and occasionally pick her up from school. The ideal candidate is comfortable with pets (we have 3 cute cats!) and understands the importance of clear communication and safety. The role requires a fun and caring attitude and good communication skills! Our daughter is easy going and thoughtful, loves to pretend play, jump on the trampoline, paint, draw and read. If you think you might be a good fit I'd love to hear more about what you like about working with kids - and your general availability. We live in Carroll Gardens and her school is in Brooklyn Heights.
