Hi -

We are looking for an after school sitter for my 4 year old. We'd like someone who can pick him up at preschool in Prospect Heights, and take him to the playground and afternoon activities and then bring him home in the evening. The ideal candidate would be fun and engaging and willing to play with him and make sure he gets plenty of outdoor time. We would prefer someone certified in CPR and would be happy to pay someone to attend a class.

We'd love someone to start Sept 10, though are flexible. This job would likely be 4-6, since he will do one hour of extended day care at school. Occasionally we would ask the sitter to get his dinner ready, but that would not happen every day. We do have a friendly dog, so anyone who takes this job would have to be comfortable with dogs.

We will pay $25-30 an hour, depending on experience. We'd also be open to working with this person as an occasional date night sitter.
