  Regular Wed Babysitter Drive to Piano and Home 3:00 PM to 6:00

  Hi all! My sometimes shy, sometimes sassy 9-year-old takes piano on Wednesday after school and I'm looking for someone to pick her up from school in Campbell/San Jose, drive her to the class in Almaden, wait in car while she takes the class, and then drive her to our home in Los Gatos. At home, I'm asking to you to start dinner. I return from work between 5:30 and 6:00 so you might have a little time to play. This gig is ongoing through the school year. Although you won't have much time to play, I am looking for someone who can connect well with my daughter. You need to use your own vehicle. I am flexible about when exactly you start if you're the right person!
