The position will initially focus on "mother's helper" tasks-helping around the house, organizing items, and handling light chores-then transition to a more childcare-focused role once Mom returns to work. If you're an experienced caregiver who loves newborns, has a reliable vehicle, and enjoys keeping a household running smoothly, this might be the perfect fit!

Teamwork & Communication - Collaborate with parents on schedules and routines, ensuring smooth daily transitions. - Provide regular updates on children's progress, household tasks, or any concerns. - Maintain a professional, respectful relationship-offering suggestions yet valuing feedback.
