I am a single father, 2 children ages 8 & 10. I work as an emergency physician I occasionally need childcare on days, nights, weekends when my work committments conflict with my days I have my kids.
The kids are pretty reliable, they know what they need to do. They would need food prepared, reminders on when to go to bed. They would need to be driven places to play, fed, games.
I live in Gig Harbor in a quiet neighborhood where the kids have some friends.
