Student Jobs

Hello! We seek to hire a trusted, part-time/occasional sitter for our three-year-old son. Typically we'd need care for a few hours at a time on a weekend or in the evening. Every so often, daytime care or longer hours may be desired if the sitter is available and interested. We live on the Near East Side of Madison, in the SASY neighborhood. Our son verbally communicates his needs and interests, he is very social, and he is potty-trained (still some assistance required with toileting). He enjoys eating, he is energetic, and he can easily be entertained without the aid of screens. We expect to pay a minimum of $20 per hour.

Requirements:

• Certified in First Aid and CPR
• Some experience caring for a young child
• Interest in and commitment to supporting safe and fun engagement without the aid of much screen time (supplies provided: lots of books, art supplies, MagnaTiles/building blocks, toys for imaginative play, etc.) 
• Minimum of three (3) references, at least two (2) of which should be childcare-specific

Preferences: 

• More extensive experience caring for a young child
• Student in School of Education or with some background in child development, early childhood/K-12 education, or similar
• Interest in serving as a sitter for our family longer-term

PLEASE NOTE: Our home is on the bus line, although the automated part of the listing suggests otherwise. 

Please submit contact information, letter/statement of interest, resume, and references (minimum of three) via email.
