Tutoring and Childcare

Nanny

Description: My wife and I are attorneys practicing locally here in Gainesville, and we are hoping to find a nanny for our two children: Isabel, who is 5, and Colin, who is 2.5.
Hours: At a minimum, we are looking for help during weekday evenings, from approximately 4:45 to 8:00 p.m. every night, as needed on the weekends, and possibly some early mornings as well to help with the “off-to-school routine.” There is potential for more time than that presuming things go well. We live in Brywood, and pay is negotiable and commensurate with experience.
