A little bit about us

Hi! We are are family of four.
My husband recently went back to school and got a new job requiring me to take on most of the care of our children. I am in the process of purchasing the business I work for, and will also be extending my hours.

Both sets of grandparents are very involved in the care of our children, but are having some health issues and cannot take on any additional responsibilities at this time.

Our kids are 4 & 8. They both wear cochlear implants, and communicate well. They are great kids, who love to play, go outside, and to wind down we will cuddle on the couch and watch tv/a movie or read books. We also have two cats and a dog. One cat is very social, the other you will almost never see. Our dog is sometimes too friendly and acts like Velcro.

We are looking for a friendly, loving, and responsible person to help with school pick up, homework, possibly making dinner/getting kids to bed during the week. Moderate tidying up. Letting our dog outside to use the bathroom if needed. Possible transport to and from extracurricular activities if one of us is not available. We live in a quiet neighborhood, so outside time would be great, weather permitting.

Hours are not set yet, but maximum would be 3-9 4 days per week. Some day would be 3-4:30, depending on when one of us would get home. You would be welcome to stay and help with dinner/homework if one parent is home, but we are unsure what kind of need we will actually need at this time.

We look forward to welcoming you into our family!
