My daughters (6&10) need someone around, but they're surprisingly self sufficient. I work from home, but can't be truly present with them from 9am-2pm during the day. They are home schooling this year, but will be in public school this fall. Until then, we need a responsible adult to make lunches and keep the peace for the stretch of day that I'm obligated to meetings. If their schoolwork is done, they'll either want to go outside or play Nintendo. My mom has been doing this (so the start date is flexible), but it's holding her back from accomplishing her own goals. Please have your own transportation.
