My husband is in the Navy. I am orienting on day shift. I have 7 year old, Camille, and an 11 year old, Khloe. We also have a dog and 2 cats in the home.
Pick Camille up from school and get her a snack and help if she has any home and just play with her.
Khloe sometimes stays after school, but she may need picked up from the community center a mile away.
My little one would need picked up from Norfolk Highlands at 2 and my older one from the Indian river community center between 3 and 4. They are pretty self sufficient by we need someone until my husband gets home from work. So we only need 2-3 hours a day 2-3 days a week in October. And for a date night would be amazing.
