Afternoon Babysitter Needed

AFTERSCHOOL BABYSITTER NEEDED
 *ideal start date is March 31

Are you a reliable, experienced babysitter looking for a great family to work for? We are looking for a babysitter to take care of our two kids, mostly after school. We live 1.5 miles from the Mount Ida College campus. You have to be a safe driver & have a reliable car for school pickup and short drives around Newton/Chestnut Hill.

Our daughter is a 7-year-old who loves the Rainbow Loom, anything pink and purple, and intricate art projects. She is happy, sweet, smart, imaginative, and likes to help take care of and/or tickle her little brother. She is very social and loves play dates.

Our son is 4.5 and loves trucks, animals, pirates, and anything that his big sister is doing. He is very sweet and surprisingly empathetic for a 4-year-old. He is really good-natured. His favorite toys include legos and pirate ships.

They are both healthy with no allergies or medical problems. Our family life is happy and our household is loving.

We are both doctors and have specific schedules. We need someone who shows up reliably and on time. We can offer 20-30 hours per week. One of us gets home between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m. We definitely will need someone available Monday-Thursday from 3:00-6:30, and rarely on a Fri afternoon. 

We would also appreciate someone who could help out perhaps 2-3 mornings a week (7-8:30 AM), to help get the kids to school- these morning hours could be paid at a slightly higher hourly rate. Besides taking care of & playing with the kids, the job includes straightening up the kids toys and the areas they play in, and simple cooking for the kids. If you would like more hours and do not mind household chores, we are happy to give more hours for shopping, cooking, laundry, or light cleaning. There also can be plenty of opportunities for extra paid hours, such as full days when the kids are off from school, or days when we both have to work late (optional, and we will ask in advance if you want them). 

We are looking for a babysitter with experience. We are of course looking for someone with lots of love, smiles, common sense, honesty, and energy.
