We are looking for a nurturing and reliable caregiver to provide attentive, in-home care for our newborn son, who will be about 8 weeks old at the time of hire. One parent WFH full-time and will be present in the house; we are seeking support so work can be done without interruption while ensuring our baby receives high-quality, one-on-one attention.
While our dogs will be kept on a separate level, comfort around dogs and cats is appreciated (though no pet care is expected).
Responsibilities
- Provide full-time care for our infant during working hours, including bottle feeding, diapering, soothing, and age-appropriate play.
- Maintain a clean and safe environment for the baby
- Monitor sleep schedules and support healthy sleep habits
- Gently stimulate development with activities like tummy time, singing, and reading
- Communicate with the parent daily about routines, milestones, and any concerns
What We're Looking For
- Calm, present, and nurturing personality
- Reliable and punctual, clear communication skills
- Willing to limit phone use during care hours unless on break or in an emergency
- Respectful of the home environment and collaborative with an at-home parent
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous experience with infants, especially under 6 months old
- Infant CPR and First Aid certification
- Up-to-date on relevant vaccinations (TDAP, flu)
- Non-smoker
