Friendly Wedgwood family seeking a warm, reliable sitter for our active 20-month-old daughter, Mon–Fri 3:30–6:30 PM (~15 hrs/week), starting late October. Hoping for a long-term fit.

Duties: play and age-appropriate activities, a simple snack or dinner, diapering and early potty-training support, light tidying after her, and occasional drives to the park or library in your own car with her car seat. Our mellow large dog just needs to be let out and played with a bit.

Ideal: toddler experience, CPR/first aid (or willing to get it), safe driver, non-smoker, comfortable with dogs, dependable communicator. References appreciated.
