A tight knit family who relocated here from the west coast is finding their footing and in their new home and mom is looking for a partner to handle the afterschool and occasional weekend hustle of three active kids! G10 is a girly girl who dances 5-6 days a week. B7 is wise beyond his years and B5 is the life of the party! They all have evening activities that spill into the weekend, as this widowed mother needs a second person to make sure they are all where they need to be. They love to spend time together as a family, and strongly value love, respect and manners. They kids are gaining lots of independence and do so much for themselves as they are getting older, but an essential team member will be key to this family’s daily success!
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Assisting with the after school routine most weekdays and driving the kids to/from appointments or extracurriculars.
