Occasional sitter as needed, typically afternoons/evenings (mostly will be Friday evenings specifically). 3 children (almost 7/almost 5/almost 2). The oldest is very independent and helpful with the younger ones. Most days will only require some light, engaging activity, dinner (will either have something already prepared or ordered, might just need warming up/distributing/supervising), bedtime prep. We do have 2 huskies who are small and very friendly who can be crated if needed.
