We are a muticultural family of 4 with two cats. One parent works nights the other works during the day and there is a small window of time between in which neither of us is"home." I am a nurse so my schedule varies and if there is an emergency at work I may be later than expected. The time posted accommodates for this possibility. Our eldest is 4 in November and our youngest is 1 in June
The sitter will have to serve and supervise breakfast (cereal or toast with fruit). Light clean up like wiping the table, doing dishes and picking up toys. Supervise children (read entertain, play games). Assist eldest with potty and change youngest diaper until we potty train.
The schedule isn't completely set but every other Thursday is consistent.
