I need a nanny for the weekend of September 26 to September 28th. The nanny needs to be able to arrive around 330pm and I will be back before 8pm on the 28th. The only thing that the nanny will have to do is keep my children entertained and keep them fed while i'm gone. I would also like my children to be in bed by 930pm each night and my children use melatonin, so that should not be difficult. I intend on cooking a meal for dinner that will last until I return so the only meals that the nanny will have to prepare is breakfast and lunch on saturday and breakfast and lunch on sunday. My house will be clean and laundry will be done so the only cleaning that would need to be done by the nanny are the minor messes that my children make during the day while they play and move around my house. Also My daughter is 11 years old, and she is very independent and she will assist in any way the nanny might need her to. I am a single mother, and my finances are not the greatest so I hope I can find a nanny that will provide for my children in an amazing way and not charge too much for their services. I don't need the nanny to take them anywhere because they are very content with staying in my home on the weekends and they have plenty of things inside my home to keep them entertained. My five year old son is fully potty trained, but has occasional accidents here and there but nothing major. He is also on the spectrum, but his outbursts are pretty well controlled as long as he remains in a calm environment so when the nanny is inside of my home it must remain quiet and calm. My children's bedtime routine is pretty simple and self explanatory. They eat dinner, they take 2 melatonin gummies, they take a bath and they usually fall asleep shortly after. My son also needs a lullaby video put on the TV in my bedroom. He will fall asleep regardless but this video helps him fall asleep faster. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions or concerns while I am out of town.
