Subject Babysitting gig

Babysitting— Regular Gig (for CosmoGirl magazine research director [name redacted]):

We're looking for an experienced and energetic, fun, sweet, dependable babysitter to watch our [infant] son [name redacted] once a week for a four or five-hour block. Stay-at-home dad needs a break!

Must be during daytime hours, preferably on a Tuesday or Thursday; mornings or afternoons are fine.

We're very conveniently located to NYU at East 4th Street, between 2nd and Bowery.

E-mail a letter with your availability and experience to [redacted].

Because, you know, the best way to get your foot into the glossy media's door is through the long-respected art of domestic servitude. And, who knows? Maybe you'll get some free lip gloss samples after you're done changing baby's diaper!
