    We are looking for someone who can help with our son and with the house. The house is not big, so it is very easy to have things done.
    Babysitting is not a full-time job, as our son goes to pre-school and we also love taking care of him. Maybe take him to the nursery and pick him up every now and then. Oliver is lovely and very smiling happy boy.
