About the Job
I PREFER A SET RATE FOR DAYS/ OVERNIGHTS/WEEKENDS
I am looking for a dependable, trustworthy, and caring individual who can become a consistent part of our family’s support system. I am looking for someone who is interested in developing a long-term relationship with our family, rather than someone looking for a one-time babysitting job.
I occasionally travel for pageants, events, and other commitments and would like to establish a relationship with one primary caregiver whom my son and I both know and trust.
Before any overnight or multi-day care begins, I would like to meet with the selected person several times. Once I feel comfortable, I will introduce them to my son. From there, we will gradually transition into short babysitting periods before considering overnight or multi day care.
Safety Is My #1 Priority
I want to be completely transparent about this portion of the position. My child’s physical and emotional safety is my highest priority. Our home has security cameras in common areas for household and safety purposes. A caregiver accepting this position should be comfortable working in a home with disclosed security cameras.
I am not interested in micromanaging someone throughout the day. The cameras are simply an additional layer of protection for my child, my pet, my home, and ultimately the caregiver as well.
I have zero tolerance for theft, neglect, abuse, inappropriate physical contact, mistreatment, intimidation, or any behavior that could endanger my child, my dog, or my property. Any suspected criminal conduct will be documented and reported to the appropriate authorities, and I will fully cooperate with any resulting investigation or legal process. Where warranted, I will pursue all lawful remedies available. This is not intended to make a trustworthy caregiver uncomfortable. I simply believe expectations and boundaries should be completely clear from the beginning. I am looking for someone I can eventually welcome into our routine and trust with two very important members of my family.
