  • Evening Routine: Assist with feeding dinner, bath time, and bedtime transition, either independently or alongside a parent.

  • Kitchen Cleanup & Light Household Tasks: Wash/load child's dinner dishes, wipe down counters, and put away leftovers. Take out trash/recycling and tidy up bath and play areas.

  • Occasional Flexibility (Optional, but Preferred): Availability for occasional evening or weekend babysitting or morning support with advance notice.

  • Additional hours: If able to do regular morning support a few times/week, additional hours can be given.

Ideal Qualifications:

  • Warm, communicative, and comfortable with a cooperative household dynamic.
