As a result, our workspaces may overlap with where the baby is (e.g., living room, kitchen). Please make sure you’ll feel comfortable working in overlapping spaces with us around. •There are two cats in the home that will be in close proximity Experience Requested •Infant CPR certified •More than 6 months of formal/paid experience working with newborns/infants either for a family directly or in a childcare center.
