Currently schedule needs are Monday Wednesdays and Thursdays 3-6:30pm. Typically need help picking kids up from schools and getting them to after school activities with some free afternoons to take them to do something fun. Most of our care needs are picking up from school and driving to and from activities with occasional afternoons where they can either play at the pool, go to the library, or parks. Need someone comfortable driving a large car (GMC Yukon XL) and is okay with pets (we have an English bulldog).
