Hello babysitters and nannies,
We are looking for some help with our lovely 2.5yo girl and 5mo boy. Would you be able to help with one or more of these jobs?
1. Once a week on a Tues, Weds or Thursday between 2-4pm, caring for my 5mo boy, so I can nap at home. (He's a very happy and fun boy, but he'll only nap in the carrier. I would love for someone else to be able to wear him for a bit so that I can nap at home horizontally!).
2. When my partner needs to work late, staying on from 4-7:30pmish to help me with both bubs. (The exact dates are TBC but we can confirm them with you soon.) That could involve: (once my 2.5yo is familiar with you, walking to her daycare centre in the city to pick her up and walk her home), helping me with putting dinner on the table (very light cooking / reheating involved), eating with my toddler while I help my 5mo take a quick nap, cleaning up after dinner with my toddler, helping my toddler prepare for bed. I'll be at home for all of it so you won't be solely responsible for both of them.
3. We also need light kitchen cleaning help for roughly 30 mins after dinner on Sunday-thursday nights. We offer $40 for this
A bit more about us:
- We live in Surry Hills, a 7m walk to central station
- I genuinely enjoy learning about child development and different approaches of caring for children. Right now I’m a big fan of the Janet Lansbury / RIE parenting philosophy (e.g. encouraging uninterrupted self-directed play, communicating authentically with children etc). Woud love to hear more and learn from you about your approaches
- At some point later in the year, I would also be looking for 2 or 3 days full-time nannying care for my baby boy (for when I return to work by Nov). If all works well, and that's something you're interested in, we can chat about what that might look like too!
Let me know if you have any questions.
