I have 2 boys, Logan and Tristan. They are 8 and 4 years old. Logan likes to play video games and be active outside. Tristan is pretty easy going and likes doing pretty much anything. We have 2 dogs and a cat.
My husband lives overseas 6 months out of the year (roughly 3 here, 3 gone, etc.) so I need assistance while he is away. We would need less regular care the months he is home but would still need a sitter periodically during those times.
Pick up the children from camp 2-3 days per week and bring them back to the house, prepare snacks/dinner (nothing more complex than microwaving needed). Vacuuming/light mopping would be a plus but not required.
The months my husband is away are May to mid-July and mid-September to mid-December. There will also sometimes be evenings when a sitter would be needed if they are available.
