Bridge care is 2:30-5:30pm.

Most common babysitting schedule is anticipated to be 6-10pm.

I am looking for someone to help with afternoon/evening bridge care and occasional babysitting for my sweet and funny 7-year-old daughter.

My immediate need (beginning 9/4) is for someone to pick her up from school at Franklin Elementary at 2:30pm on Wednesday afternoons, bring her to music lessons, then bring her to our home near the Capitol. I will be home to relieve the sitter at 5:30pm. The compensation is $20/hr for 3 hours of work. I will also ask about occasional babysitting for evenings and school closure days if the sitter happens to be available. We are planning to get a small dog in the fall, so comfort with dogs is important.

Responsibilities may generally include:

• Ensuring her safety during indoor and outdoor activities
• Occasionally preparing/feeding her meals and snacks
• Reading with her, supervising homework completion
• Taking her to the playground and other prearranged activities
• Occasional transport to and from other extracurricular activities (driver’s license not required)
• Helping her to tidy up play areas
• Walking the dog
• (For evening babysitting) Putting her to bed

• Previous experience as a Nanny or Babysitter, with reference
• Ability to come up with creative ideas to educate and engage children
• Multitasking skills
• A pleasant and patient personality
• Background check (if none available yet, we will pay for a service)
