  • Looking for an experienced and thoughtful nanny to take care of our 3-month old daughter, from Aug,15 to Nov, 15, for a full day (9:00-17:00). The nanny should be good at taking care of the fragile small baby. A basic English is necessary. A person with open mind (i.e.,understanding that we may have different traditions) is better. We are also glad to recieve your recommendation.
    A brief introduction about us:
    We are post-doc students from China. We have been in Israel for almost two years. We are easy-going young people. jing.ji@weizmann.ac.il
