Reliable Babysitter Needed – Tuesdays and Thursdays (2 months, potentially extending)

by Isa • Barking
Hi, We are seeking a reliable and creative babysitter with great attention to detail to care for our 2-year-old boy on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the days he doesn’t attend nursery. Schedule Hours: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM I typically finish work at 4:00 PM and should be home by 5:00 PM. His dad works from home in his study most days but occasionally goes to the office. We also have an elderly cat at home who will need feeding 2 to 3 times a day and occasional affection. She mostly sleeps in her pod but may need some attention from time to time. Responsibilities Meal Prep: Prepare and serve breakfast and lunch for our son. While we aim to prep meals in advance, you may occasionally need to serve simple frozen foods (like chips, chicken nuggets, or steamed dumplings). If you’re comfortable introducing new foods, we welcome it—he can be picky but has no food allergies. Outings: Take him to the park, soft play, or museum for engaging and active experiences. At-Home Activities: Plan fun and educational activities to keep him engaged. Our son is active, observant, and learns quickly. Once he masters a skill, he tends not to repeat it, which can make planning activities a bit challenging. We’re open to age-appropriate ideas and happy to support you in planning. Potty Training: He is not potty trained yet, so diaper changing will be required. Minor Housekeeping: Tidy up after activities, wipe up spills, place used dishes in the dishwasher, feed the cat as needed, and clean her litter box if required. Screen Time and Snacks: Moderate screen time and snacks are allowed. What We’re Looking For We’d love someone who is: Detail-Oriented: Attentive to both small tasks and our child’s needs. Creative: Capable of coming up with engaging, age-appropriate activities. Reliable: Trustworthy and committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment. Respectful: Understanding of and willing to follow our solid routines and parenting approach. Location We are based in Barking Riverside. Additional Information We are happy to reimburse transport fees if you are taking our boy out for activities. If you are driving, please note that the area only provides pay-and-display visitor parking. We’re looking for someone who can create a stimulating and enjoyable environment for our son. If this sounds like the right role for you, we’d love to hear from you!
