About the job
Location: Cedar Park, Texas Start Date: ASAP Children: male 10/2024 (back-up care only for 4-year-old in school) Compensation: $30-35/hr Schedule: Monday - Thursday 8:30am-2:30pm "Our two children, a 4 year old and a 4 month old are the brightest of lights. Our 4 year old is silly and creative and is in preschool most of the day, while the 4 month old is the happiest baby (seriously, just make eye contact and you get the biggest cheese) who is just getting to the really fun age where giggles are endless and they are learning to sleep more independently. As we both work from home, we are looking for a caregiver who can help us to care for our baby and make sure he is meeting all of his milestones while we get in some solid working hours. As a mom who desperately wants to be able to juggle everything on my own, but has been unsuccessful at adding more hours into a day, I realize that to give my kids everything I want in this life, I need to have some help during these critical working hours. Our family lives out of state and so far in our four years as parents, we haven't had to bring someone in to help. So we are looking for someone who can give our little one all the smiles, giggles and interaction they deserve while being open to Mom sneaking away from her desk, when she can, to share in meal times or see what adorable thing the baby is doing."
