We have 2 daughters 8 and 6. Once or twice a month on average we need someone to be with them in the evening while we attend work functions, satisfy volunteer opportunities, etc. This is in- home help only, no transporting. Both are well behaved and as easy to take care of as any 8 and 6 year old can be :) No allergies. In most instances there will be no need for food prep, we won't ask for help with house chores. We may occasionally ask to switch a load of laundry from the washer to the dryer while we are out, or bring their dishes to the kitchen once they are down for the night. We are a pretty easygoing family that just requires responsible supervision for a few hours at a time.
