Hello I am looking for someone to fill in for my Main sitters supervision duty this upcoming Saturday morning 10/19 and 10/24 from 10am to 12 PM. Hoping to start here in the House at 9 AM though so you can get to know my adorable funny sweet Camila, and maybe have fun with toys or on the rooftop until she gets comfortable with you. Then by 9:55, you'll take her a couple blocks to the playground in Central PARK over to meet grandma and dad for a two hour visitation. So you basically just sit, read, drink coffeee and make sure their play date is going okay ! Super simple. ;-)
Provided all goes well, I'm always in need of a reliable lovely back up sitter! Especially if u can do late nights (after midnight) ;-). Thank you !!!!
