We have very independent but active 9 year old boy girl twins. We have two overly friendly pitbull mixes.
Responsibilities including picking up from school, preparing a snack and helping out with after school activities ( piano, tutoring, girl scouts, rides to practice, etc) A parent is usually home by 5:00.
Kids attend Conrad Fischer and we are walking distance to school, I’m just not quite comfortable with them walking home alone yet.
