About the Children

Boy, 8 months: An infant who follows a consistent feeding and sleep routine. He takes a bottle every 2–3 hours and has been experiencing some acid reflux, so attentive feeding and monitoring are important. Dad tracks sleep and feedings using the Huckleberry app and would like the sitter to log updates there as well.

Responsibilities

Pick up the child from daycare at 6:00pm and manage the full evening routine through bedtime. Warm pre-prepared bottles (formula containers will be ready), feed every 2–3 hours as needed, and log feedings and sleep in the Huckleberry app. Provide attentive care with awareness of acid reflux. Bath time is typically Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (as needed). Child-related laundry 2–3 times per week is appreciated, along with maintaining tidy child spaces. Stroller outings are not necessary for new caregivers.

Additional Information

Dad is transitioning the baby to pure formula. Bottles will be prepped in advance and only need warming. Comfort using the Huckleberry app is required.
