Family of 5 plus a friendly Basset Hound. I work in EMS and spouse works as a full time nurse.
4 year old pre schooler, he’s potty trained.
8 year old 3rd grader
11 year old middle schooler

We’ve lived in Crystal Lake for 6 years.

Pre schooler and 3rd grader need to be driven to nearby schools. Pre schooler is in school approx 9-noon. Pickup at noon and make sure he eats a lunch and watched over. 3rd grader would need to be picked up around 3:30 and watched and fed until spouse is home from work.

Firefighter shift schedule. I work 24 hours on and 48 hours off. Need care 1-2 weekdays per week. Works out to 6-7 days a month.
