Providence$15/hr | 1 kidMy wife and I have a six-year-old daughter. Our daughter is curious, creative and all-around wonderful.
All parents are biased, of course, but I like this kid. She is just starting first grade after a year of being home-schooled.
Both my wife and I work -- my wife is a university teacher and a designer/illustrator, and I am a wildlife photographer. The nature of my work sometimes calls me away for a few days at a time, and I am looking for a reliable sitter who can help with an irregular schedule.
In the immediate future, I'm going to be gone for two days, and I need someone who can come to our house and spend ~3-4 hours/day with my daughter in the afternoons, from 5-8/9. My daughter often drives activities, and won't be shy about suggesting what she would like to do. Common activities involve: sitting and reading, art projects, outdoor play (scooter/bike/etc), investigating nature/animals in various ways, playing board and card games, building kit projects, and an ever-changing cast of other interests.
I have an immediate need for help, but long-term, am looking to start a good, ongoing relationship with a caregiver who can help out on both a regular and irregular schedule in the future. If that's up your alley, let me know.
