We seek a reliable babysitter for the morning (9 am -1:30 pm) of June 9, 2025, to care for our 18 month old son. We hope that this can be the first of several babysitting opportunities with someone! Most of the babysitting following this will be for date afternoons/nights. Responsibilities include engaging the child in play, preparing meals and snacks, and managing nap routine. The babysitter must be comfortable with pets in the home, but our dog will be separated for the most part, and the sitter will not be expected to care for the dog. Safety and loving care are essential. The candidate should be attentive, responsible, and able to follow instructions. Previous experience with toddlers is preferred. We value a nurturing environment where our child can explore and learn.
