We are looking for a caring, reliable summer helper for our two children in Dubuque, ages 12 and 13. Since they are older, this is less full childcare and more supervision, structure, and activities during the day.

We’d love someone patient and dependable who can help keep them engaged, active, outside when possible, and on a good routine. Comfort with occasional big emotions and calm boundary-setting is important.

We have pets, so being comfortable with animals is needed. We may also have an above-ground pool this summer, so comfort supervising swimming/water activities is a plus.
