We are a family in Middleton looking for a warm, responsible, and dependable babysitter for our two daughters, ages 4 and 2.

We are not looking for a regular nanny or a large weekly commitment. Instead, we'd love to find one or two great sitters we can get to know and call occasionally when we need a few hours of childcare.

Typical needs would include:

  • Weekday daytime appointments
  • A few hours so Mom can run errands, work out, or have some time to herself

  • Has previous experience caring for young children, especially toddlers
  • Is warm, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children
  • Has reliable transportation to Middleton
  • Can provide childcare references
  • CPR/First Aid certification is preferred but not required

We are hoping to find someone who is comfortable with an occasional schedule and would enjoy becoming a familiar, trusted person for our family. We may sometimes have opportunities to schedule several weeks in advance, but there is no expectation of a fixed weekly schedule.

Qualifications:

Our ideal sitter:

  • Has previous experience caring for young children, especially toddlers
  • Is warm, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children
  • Has reliable transportation to Middleton
