A little bit about us
My daughter is a very lively, happy, active little girl. The state of Tennessee has identified her as intellectually advanced. She's an only child who's very independent but requires a lot of attention. My goal is to mold her into being well rounded. She needs balance between playtime-sports-and academics. (Less use of electronics, more books!)
The hours will be 4p-8p.
An ideal candidate will be fun and energetic, structured and organized; be able to assist with homework and other extra curricular activities; and also be able to cook and clean daily, and do laundry when necessary.
May also be responsible for pick-ups and/or errands, and other social projects - given adequate notice and the situation. (Ex: helping me find a way to organize the play space/area in my home).
