Hi there!
My name is Christeen, and I'm looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for our 1-year-old son, Tavi, for two out of the following three days: Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. I work from home and need someone to care for Tavi during business hours (9am–5pm).
We're hoping to find someone who:
• Can plan age-appropriate, engaging activities that support Tavi’s motor and cognitive development (bonus if you're familiar with Montessori-style play).
• Can assist with preparing and feeding meals.
• Is confident putting him down for naps independently (I'll be around to support you as he gets used to it).
• Can change nappies.
• Can help with his daily routine, especially to support an earlier bedtime around 7pm.
• Wouldn’t mind helping with small daily household tasks while Tavi naps.
• Bonus: Speaks Spanish! I’m hoping to reintroduce the language into our home, and exposure through play and conversation would be wonderful.
We prefer someone who has professional experience working with toddlers aged 1–2, whether as a babysitter, in a daycare or early childhood education setting, and who can provide references for that experience.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone nurturing, fun, and trustworthy. Someone Tavi will be excited to see and feel safe with. So far, he’s been cared for by his grandparents and is used to being with loving, familiar adults.
A bit about us:
We’re a small family of four: my husband and I, our sweet 1-year-old Tavi, and Benji, our gentle and friendly 7-year-old Golden Retriever. We live in Mickleham and both my husband and I work from home. We follow a gentle parenting approach and are inspired by Montessori principles. We aim to give Tavi the freedom to explore, learn, and grow at his own pace in a calm and supportive environment.
We’re really excited to welcome the right person into our lives and look forward to finding someone who feels like a natural fit with our family. If this sounds like you, please get in touch and share your experience and references at chriskas2020@gmail.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
