Student Jobs

Hours only on Monday, 7:30 am – 5:00 pm. Full days would be great, but also more than willing to accommodate for half-days as class schedule allows within that time frame. Will likely be only 3 out of 4 Mondays a month.

We are a fun-loving family in the near West Madison area in search of a babysitter/nanny on Mondays for our 4 year old who loves nature, trains, and creating all sorts of things.  We have a nanny four days a week, and our son goes to school Tuesday -Friday, but are looking for care on most Mondays. This could be a full day postion from 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. or it could be broken into a morning or afternoon shift within that time period. We are seeking experienced, caring individual who truly enjoys spending time with younger children. You'll need to get our house, which is about a 20 minute bike ride from campus on the bike path. We also live close to a bus stop, but no need for transportation beyond that. We live very close to library, park and have a great back yard. One parent will be working from home.
