Babysitter wanted for a family living near 98034.
Pay: $18 - $23 per hour
Start Date: In 7-10 Days
Location: Kirkland, WA
About the role
We have two fun, easygoing boys. Our oldest is starting kindergarten on Thursday, September 3rd, and our 2.5-year-old is in full-time daycare. Our family is looking for someone to help as soon as the first week of September for 8-10 hours/week, ideally across 3 or 4 days.
Our biggest need is morning care/extra set of hands at home with my energetic toddler from 8-9:30am while we adjust to the new schedule and I walk my kindergartener to school. I'm flexible on hours worked and could add extra minutes for tidying up after we head out for the day (light dishes/laundry) and kindergarten pickup/after-school care, particularly on early-release day (Wednesday @ 1:45). If afternoons 3pm-5pm only work for you, that's more of a tutor option as well that we are open to.
We live in Kirkland near Juanita Beach.
Hours we are looking for care:
- Morning 8-9:30am M/T/W/TH
- Afternoon 3pm - 5pm M/T/TH
- Afternoon 1:45-5pm Wed
If any combination of the hours/day work for your schedule, we'd love to hear from you! Even if it's just 2 days per week.
