A little bit about us
I have two boys. My 7 year old is non verbal autisic and unfortunately still in diapers. We are patiently working on that. My 5 year old will literally just talk your ear off unless he zoned into utube on his tablet.
Honestly my boys are super easy. When it is nice they want to be outside on the playset, trampoline, and swimming in the pool. So bring your sunglasses and a swimsuit. Book or tablet to sit back while they are outside.
If they are not doing that, most likely they will be on their tablets inside and want to watch something on the TV. My 7 year old will tell u when he wants something to eat. Usually handing u a bag of something to cook in the airfryer. Or some ramen noodles. There's not much he eats.
I need Saturday n Sundays every other week. And then, Maybe some Friday night if they have games. We can start as early as 8am and go till 10pm. Just depends on what park and how many teams are in the tournaments. I do have a spare room for late nights that u could just stay and not have to worry about leaving late and coming back next day early.
We do have 4 dogs and a cat for any allergy concerns. They are all really good and no reason to worry. All think they are lap dogs.
My boys can be slobs, all I ask is to make sure they are throwing things away and picking up. If you don't push it they will push to see how far they can go and get away with it.
I'm a single mom so I can't pay 15/20 an hour. Would like to pay a base rate for the whole weekend where it is actually worth me working!! Also Hoping to find someone that will come familiar with my kids and be consistent as our weekend sitter!
I will always have your favorite food, drinks, and snacks in the fridge for when u are here.
