Part-Time or Full-Time Nanny

Looking for a sitter to help part-time or full-time at my home in Williamsburg, VA with a 4-6 month old baby girl. I work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule, so could accommodate a flexible schedule for a student. Sitter would need to start mid-June and work through the month of August, possibly into the fall, but I am flexible depending on when we get into daycare and what the schedule is for the student. We are planning a vacation over the week of the 4th of July, so they would have that week off. Pay is flexible as well, depending on sitter availability and qualifications. Please reach out to Liz Foster at lizfoster.va@gmail.com.
