We are a small family of 3 plus a dog. Our daughter is 16 months old. Our dog is a 4 year old miniature dachshund named Odie.
Occasionally we would ask for someone to watch our daughter for a few hours. They should be open to playing with her and feeding her dinner we've prepared. They should not have to worry about our dog but should be okay with him being around.
The schedule is very flexible and ad hoc.
