My two children, Pema (8) and Galo (11), are truly easy and wonderful. We sometimes need backup care. They sometimes need to be driven to swimming or other activities. They are responsible and will do their homework and practice piano on their own. They are a ton of fun to hang out with. Schedule is usually between 3.30pm (when they come back from school) until 6 or 7pm. Galo and Pema tend to develop close relationships with sitters, who become part of the family.
