Looking for an occasional night nanny. We need someone who can be available sometimes on short notice to arrive at our apartment in North Syracuse and be there for our 20-month-old. If needed, drop her off at her daycare in Mattydale at 5:30 a.m. Our night nanny needs are always when snow is arriving - when Mom has to be available to work. That can sometimes be hard to predict ahead of time so short notice availability is important. Since we have daycare available, we would need you for times between 5:30 p.m. to 6:00am, and you'd have a comfortable place to sleep next to the fireplace. If interested, let us know!RequiredPreferredJob Industries Other
