We are an easygoing family. Our oldest is a bright, curious kid who loves all things science. Our youngest is energetic, loves to play games and do crafts. Being comfortable with pets is a must. We have a puppy, a Saint Bernard and cats.
Care will mostly be for the youngest (2, almost 3). We would appreciate someone who can plan activities, get him outside when the weather is nice and do some light housekeeping during his quiet/ nap time. (put away dishes, fold laundry.) The oldest will get off the bus close to 4 every day and we would only need care for him on days off from school. We would be willing to pay extra for these days.
We are looking for full time care right now because my mom who is our primary childcare provider had a stroke and I am providing most of HER care while she recovers. Our needs might drop down to part-time once she is doing better but we will still need care while we work and go to school.
