Part Time Helper for Work-at-Home Mom

[deanna]

I work from home 10-20 hours per week and am looking for someone (or a few people I can call on) to look after my 6 month old daughter while I work. I’d be home the whole time and available for just about anything, and I will feed her too. I have a mellow job, I just need to be able to focus so I can get work out of the way for the day so I can just hang out with the kiddo afterwards.

My schedule is kind of weird right now, as in, totally unreliable work. But I should have more steady work starting in a month or so.

Adeline, my daughter, is a super awesome, mellow, sweet baby. She’s easy. She just needs someone to play, interact, read books, change diapers. She is pretty much always in a good mood.

She’ll probably end up napping through half of my work day, so I’m hoping to find someone who’s willing to do some light house cleaning as well when/if she’s napping.

Typically, I work no more than 4 hours in a day. I usually have at least a few days notice on my schedule, occasionally I need someone the next day. I never know. With my upcoming projects (I do fundraising database/events consulting) I should have a pretty steady ongoing schedule. But there will be additional projects to add to that as well. A typical work week for me is 3 days (flexible) from around 9am to 1pm. Sometimes I get a crazy deadline and work 40 hours (NOT often). Sometimes I have a week or two with nothing going on and no need for a sitter, and sometimes I travel and take my daughter with me (so, no need for a sitter). My mom usually goes on my work trips with me to watch Addie, but there may be the occasional offer to accompany us on a work trip. (And by ‘offer’ I mean that you shouldn’t feel obligated, asking for travel is a big deal!)

Also, I’d like to go to a yoga class or 2 during the week, so there could be a couple hours home alone with Adeline while I do that. And maybe the occasional date night with my husband (imagine that!).

If I could find one super flexible person to be my go-to, that would be awesome. But I’m also OK with a roster of a few people to call on. Please let me know if you’re interested. Pay is $11-13/hr. + free coffee and tea while you’re here! (my husband works in specialty coffee)
