A little bit about us…

I have two sweet little girls with big personalities. They are very loving.I need someone for mostly week days. I do need someone that can occasionally stay over night and who can travel with us when we travel. I also have four dogs. 3 are under 12lbs and one medium dog who weighs 40 lbs. I just need to share some of the daily responsibilities. Their dad passed away a little over a year and a half ago. Needless to say it has been a little overwhelming adjusting to our new lives.

A little bit about us…

I need someone for daytime care during the work week, but would also love if you had a week night or weekend night available on occasion for a "date night".

My daughter is 4 and in a full time preschool/daycare situation but beginning August 2021 I would need someone who can also get her on and off the bus.

My son, Troy, who would need full-time care is very sweet. He loves going on little adventures and takes great naps. In Surf-City we live within walking distance to parks, playgrounds, and the beach. I would love someone who is also willing to take him to library story times or playgroups, etc.

I would never leave a "chore" list but I would appreciate someone who is willing to clean up whatever mess was made during that day of care. I will also need someone willing to prepare at least breakfast and lunch.

We do not have any pets but I am open to someone who has a well trained pet (potty trained and does not chew) bringing their pet during care . I am also open to someone who would like to bring their own child.
