- Savvy with online research and personal shopping

A little more about us:
We are full-time leaders who wish we could only be full-time parents (most of the time 😏). Our funny, bright, sweet and active boys keep us crazy busy when we get home from work - and we want to soak it up! We’re really hoping for that unicorn person who needs flexible, choose-your-own schedule work (within our parameters of min. 2x weekly and dinner by 5/6 p.m. most of the time).
