A little bit about us…

Hi!
Single WFH mom of active 1-year-old twin girls looking for someone to be an extension of our family and come to my home and help out with the girls for a few hours a day while I work. My schedule varies so flexibility is needed. Duties would include taking the girls to weekly activities, trips to the park, and just hanging out with them at our home doing different activities to keep them busy. I'd prefer the days be structured with activities to keep them from getting board and sitting in front of the tv all day. Mainly looking for Monday -Friday (for a minimum of 6hrs or somedays you will be needed for 8hrs), an occasional weekend night and possibly an over night every Blue Moon (I work for an airline and sometimes have to travel for work.) Gas allowance is provided on days you would have to transport the girls to and from activities outside of the home, but you will need your own vehicle. Dog in home, so you should be pet friendly. However, you would not have to provide any care for him. Looking for someone to start immediately. Let's chat if interested, looking forward to hearing from you soon!!!

I have two boys a 2 year old and 2 month old. I work from home as a therapist providing telehealth services so I'm looking for someone to watch my boys while I'm working in my basement. I would be feeding them breakfast and lunch (I take a break about 12-1, if you want a break during that time you are welcome to it) Mostly the responsibilities would just watching over the 2 yo while he plays & engaging in activities with him, and the basic needs for an infant. We are looking for about 27 hours a week- 8-5:30 most days ( sometimes I don't have an appointment at the end of the day or start of the day). If there are times in the day I don’t have an appointment I may be trying to get housework done, but I’ll also be available for the boys.
