We are in a household with a five year old and a 1 and a half year old. The 5 year old goes to kindergarten but the toddler stays at home. We all have different schedules now and that is why we need a sitter to cover gaps for the youngest child.
There will be a gap between when my husband leaves for work and when I get back from home. We have a 5 year old in school and. 1 1/2 year old at home. You will be watching him during the gap.
