What You’ll Be Doing
Childcare (Your Primary Focus)
Your job is to be fully present, engaged, and intentional with the toddler throughout the day.
- Lead age-appropriate play, creative activities, arts and crafts, and outdoor exploration
- Encourage curiosity, independence, and learning through play
- Follow and support existing routines and daily structure
- Plan and lead outings as trust is established — parks, the zoo, splash pads, indoor summer activities
- Support potty training as that phase begins
- Stay phone-free and fully attentive during care hours
Newborn Support (Secondary, Beginning May 2026)
- For the first 30 days after the birth, the parents will be closely involved with the newborn — your focus stays with the toddler
- As things settle, you may occasionally care for both children when the parent steps out briefly
- Newborn experience is required: bottle feeding, soothing, general comfort
Household Support
Household tasks are completed during nap time or independent play
- Prepare simple meals and snacks during care hours
- Clean up after meals and activities
- Child and baby laundry
- Monitor and flag when household supplies are running low
- Assist with pre-ordered grocery pickup occasionally
- Follow the family’s shared notes system for simple, specific tasks
Pets
The home has 3 cats and 1 dog. You must be comfortable in a pet-friendly home and not allergic to cats. Letting the dog out as needed is part of the day.
You’re the Right Fit If:
- Toddler care is something you genuinely love!
- You bring high energy and creativity to the children, then shift to a calm, unobtrusive presence when a parent is nearby
- You take initiative — you see what needs to happen, and you do it, without being asked
- You communicate proactively, keep a tidy space, and follow through on details
- You’re comfortable supporting both a toddler and, eventually, a newborn in the same home
What This Role Offers
- A happy, verbal, curious toddler who will keep you on your toes in the best way
- A family that values kindness, creativity, clear communication, and professionalism
- A structured home with clear expectations and genuine appreciation
- Guaranteed hours, consistent schedule, and W2 employment
- The chance to make a real difference during an important transition for a wonderful family
