Job Description
We’re looking for a warm, playful, and reliable local student to spend time with our almost 4-year-old son in the evenings. He is a very happy, curious, and talkative little boy who loves asking questions about EVERYTHING. We’re hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys being around young children — chatting with him, answering his many “why” questions, playing with toys, reading books, and helping him learn through play and conversation. Simple age-appropriate tutoring is welcome This is more of an evening playmate / mother’s helper role than traditional babysitting. Mom and Dad will usually be home. The goal is for you to keep him happily engaged with you during this time so we can have 1.5 hours of uninterrupted time. Schedule Monday–Thursday, 7:30–9:00 PM Flexible: 1–4 evenings per week, depending on your availability Confirm the upcoming week’s availability by Sunday evening Once confirmed, we’d like to avoid last-minute schedule changes except for emergencies Busy exam week? Totally fine to take the week off — just let us know when we make the schedule We’re hoping to find someone who would enjoy staying with us for at least the school year, ideally longer Pay $40–45 per 1.5-hour evening, depending on experience
Requirements
What we’re looking for Kind, cheerful, patient, and playful Genuinely enjoys talking and playing with young children Comfortable answering LOTS of questions :) Reliable once the weekly schedule is confirmed Able to stay actively engaged with him rather than using your phone during the 1.5 hours Experience with younger siblings, babysitting, camps, tutoring, or other young children is a big plus, but formal babysitting experience is not required We especially prefer someone who lives in the neighborhood or very close by, since we’d love for this to become an easy and consistent long-term arrangement The most important thing to us is finding someone who really enjoys spending time with him and can become a familiar, consistent part of his week.
