Student Jobs

Hi! We live in the Near West Side of Madison and are looking for a nanny to watch our kids during the weeks they don't have camp this summer.

About them: our daughter is going into 3rd grade and our son is going into 5th grade. They both love books and board/card games, both love to ride bikes and swim, but if given the choice would choose screens over all else - so we need someone who is willing to direct their attention to other activities. They are funny and kind kids, and both are happy when they’re busy. We have a pool membership and live close to bike paths and playgrounds.

About us: Two working parents, one works from home full time and the other is back and forth between home and work. We also have two friendly cats!

About you: We are looking for an adventurous, kind, and energetic individual who genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids, and will keep our kids safe and entertained. This will include planning activities and adventures for them (including the pool and bikes) and making them lunch and snacks. You will need to provide your own transportation to/from our house and have a driver's license; having your own car to take our kids to/from activities is a plus.

When: We need someone to watch our kids for four weeks this summer: July 1-5 (except the 4th), July 29-August 2, August 19-23, and August 26-30. If you aren’t available all four weeks that’s not necessarily a deal breaker. For those four weeks we are looking for you to be here between 8 am and 3 pm.

Pay is between $20-$26/hour, depending on experience. Experience and references required.

If this sounds like a good fit, please email a short description of yourself and your experience with kids, and confirm your availability for the time periods listed above. Please also include contact information for three references. Send to: becca.coughlin@gmail.com.
