Afterschool babysitter for our three kids in South Orange, New Jersey. @Sandra Irby

Hi! We are looking for an afterschool babysitter for our three kids in South Orange, New Jersey. We have two children attending a local school, walking distance, in first and second grade, who will have activities after school, like soccer. And our oldest, who is 11, and starting middle school will take a bus home after sports on his own and be mostly self-sufficient.

Our ideal candidate is warm, energetic, organized, and has significant childcare experience. Hours will be 3/3:30 to 7/7:30 M-F during the school-year, with possible request for earlier for half days or evening/bedtime/weekend babysitting. We will of course ask in advance and respect your time.

Responsibilities include:
- pick up from school at 3:30 for 6 & 7-year-old girl and boy
- snack + homework help with 6 & 7 year old, maybe 11 year old
- driving the 6 & 7 year olds to soccer and other activities
- creating a structured after-school environment
- assistance with dinner for kids (often pre-prepped) and routine towards bedtime, including bath for youngest

If you are interested, feel free to send me an email telling me a bit about yourself, including your prior childcare experience and any references. Rate is approx $28 per hr.
