I tend to work 8-9am to between 3 and 5pm. Hours can range from 30-40hr/wk of childcare. We’re happy to pay a fixed rate.

We have a 7yo Great Dane, Kendall. She might be one of the largest dogs you’ll meet, but she is also the sweetest. She was raised in a home daycare facility and we adopted her at 1yo.

Duties:
Promote academic growth by fostering a learning environment for our children
