A little bit about us…

My husband is a traveling engineer and has to go out of town at random times. I am a behavior therapist and work in Northern Virginia from 11am-6:30pm. On days my husband is not home I need help getting the kids from school and making sure they complete their visual schedule that includes chores and homework. We also have 3 dogs that seem intimidating but they really aren’t. We have 2 cats that generally hide all day. Unfortunately our nanny schedule can’t be consistent so we need someone that is flexible with hours and days. Jadyn is our 10 year old daughter. She is very responsible and independent. Our five year old loves to talk and show off his superhero skills and play Minecraft.
