We need someone on M/W/F 2:30- 5:30 with occasional Wednesdays from 12:00 – 5:00 due to half days. It could involve an occasional pick up of my sixth grade daughter in town after sports as needed during those hours. If you need more hours we could include a weekend night out too.
We will guarantee hours for you and you will have all holidays off.
This job is about picking my son up safely from school and giving opportunities to have fun with friends or activities while we work. I can connect you to previous caregivers so you can learn about us as a family too.
This person will have a car. Responsibilities include: driving, taking son to play dates and scheduled activities, hosting and supervising play dates, overseeing homework. You must be reliable, responsible and connect me to references that validate your good judgement. Additionally you must be Covid-19 vaccinated and a non-smoker.
