Babysitter wanted for an active family near

A little about us… We’re looking for a wonderful person to come alongside our family as a Mother’s Helper (something between a nanny and babysitter). As of Nov. 2025, we have three amazing daughters, 9, 6, and 1, each with their own unique personality. (We also have 2 cats at our house which wont be an issue unless you are allergic.) We’re looking to replace our current Mother’s Helper, who had to step away due to health issues. She was down to working Wednesday evenings from about 3:00–9:30pm, so that is the schedule we’d like to start with. We’d love to find someone dependable, warm, and playful and really looking for someone who connects with our family beyond a babysitter, someone who becomes more of a family friend type of vibe where we are interested in your success as much as you are in ours. The role is simple but meaningful: spend time playing and engaging with our older two girls, making sure they are fed, cared for, and ready for bed so Mom and Dad can accomplish other goals. The girls love crafts, games, and playing outside. They are fun, kind, and easy to direct. We don’t expect you to discipline them, but we do want clear direction with responsibility such as cleaning up after themselves. During downtime (when they’re asleep), we’d appreciate help keeping the house tidy. The baby will mostly be with Mom, but that may change as she grows. We’d like to begin with Wednesday nights for continuity and see how things evolve. There may be opportunities for more hours, but that is currently uncertain. About our girls: 9-year-old: very bright and imaginative, loves every kind of craft. 6-year-old: full of energy, makes friends easily, and is always ready for fun. 1 Year old: calm, sweet, and learning about the world (will mostly stay with Mom for now). I (Dad) also run two other businesses, including an e-commerce company. If you’re interested and the fit is right, there could be opportunities for extra work beyond childcare to make this closer to full-time.
