The Ideal Sitter for this Job

Ultimately this family is looking for a classic fun, camp counselor style babysitter! Somebody great at playing games, coming up with games, activities, and art projects. At the same time, you'll also be intuitive enough to know when everybody is over tired and too hot from the summer heat! Sometimes you just need to go home and veg and the parents know that. If are you flexible, creative, and skilled at managing the dynamics of multiple children, we're looking for you! The ideal candidate should be adept at handling occasional minor conflicts (three different personalities after all!) and fostering a positive, fun environment. You should be comfortable rotating care locations between two homes and adapting to different settings.

Your day will end at 6 P.M., providing approximately 15 hours of work each week. During the initial schedule, you will care for the 8-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy only on June 18, 20, and 21, as well as on June 24, 25, and 26, from 2:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M.

There are no significant household duties expected due to the limited hours, allowing you to focus entirely on the children's needs and interests.

Additional Information
