Child Care Needed [Winchester]

Posted on by

Description: We are a loving and empathetic family with two wonderful daughters (ages 6.5 and 4.5), and one tiny dog!

We are looking for a kind and empathetic student who genuinely loves kids to help us in the mornings from approximately 7:45 – 10:00 AM.  Right now, we are hoping for help ~3 days a week, but we can be very flexible! We live nearby in Winchester, MA and are targeting ~$25-30 per hour, but are open to discussion for the right person.  A strong natural fit is most important to us!

A little more on us – We have had a wonderful nanny for 5 years, but now that our youngest is in school, we reduced her hours to just afternoons.  However, we are realizing we could use more help as both my husband and I work full time!

We are hoping for help with the following:

·         Driving our two girls to school

·         Taking our tiny dog for a ~30min walk

·         Occasionally running a light errand (if time allows)

In addition, we are hoping to find someone who can occasionally help play with the girls on “no-school days,” which occur ~once a month. For example, parent-teacher conference days, Veteran’s Day, MLK Day, etc.

If this sounds like a good fit, please contact us!  We would love to meet you.
