I’m a single mom to an amazing 8-year-old named Daniel. He’s outspoken, knows what he wants, and follows the rules. I work in the office a few days a week, and when Daniel isn’t in camp or school, we’ve leaned on family. This year, we joined Sittercity to find a great sitter to support us.

Daniel is an easygoing kid, but he uses his iPad a bit too much. The goal is to limit screen time with reading, spelling practice, games, or arts and crafts. You can also head to nearby parks. Please help with snacks, meals, and winding down, including a shower before I get home.
