We are seeking a weekend nanny to help take care of our 3 year-old in coordination with a set of grandparents who are living with us for the next few months. Mom and Dad's busiest work days are Saturdays and Sundays. One set of grandparents are staying with us through December, and while they are self-sufficient, they cannot properly care for a toddler (or speak English) so we need someone on hand who can handle emergencies and ensure our little one is getting the attention he needs at all times. If things go well, this job could potentially scale up in scope/hours in early 2025. Ideal candidates will be energetic enough to keep up with an excited little boy, and sweet enough to read to and play music with him. First aid and CPR training are a huge plus. Since Chinese is our primary language at home, candidates conversant in Mandarin will move automatically to the front of the line.
