A little bit about us…

Hello! We are new to CT and looking for someone to pick up our two kids from school in Woodbridge 4 to 5 days a week and drive them home. Some days you would stay until 5:30pm and then some days I'd ask you to give them dinner, start bedtime and leave between 7 and 8pm. The later nights would only be when one parents is traveling. We currently live in Milford but plan to move to Woodbridge or Guilford in 2023.

Not required, but if you're interested in housekeeping (light or more) and meal prep, I would love to pay extra for that!

We do have a small dog - cockapoo (25lbs).

Looking for someone who is looking for part time and is flexible with hours as we are two traveling / full time working parents :)
