We're a small, liberal family that needs occasional help with our 8-year-old son and also to cuddle and provide access to our secure backyard for our new 4-month-old pit-mix puppy, Otter.

We're an emotionally intelligent bunch who talk about our feelings a lot. There is no yelling in our house, no first-person-shooter video games. We're authoritative without being authoritarian, and we're looking for someone who matches that vibe.

We need someone occasionally for times when my husband is focused on construction projects at the house, and I need to run errands. Bonus if you're familiar with Roblox or Nintendo Switch games and are willing to play with him.
