  • 2 children (Elementary)
  • $25.00 - $29.00 per hour

We are looking for a responsible, dependable, and engaging individual to support our family and care for our two elementary-aged children (5th and 3rd grade). This is a perfect role for someone who loves staying active, enjoys being a "mentor" figure, and values a consistent, year-round schedule.

**The Schedule**
Monday – Thursday: 3:00 PM – 6:45 PM
Friday: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Start Date: As soon as possible

**Key Responsibilities**
The "Warm Welcome": Our kids walk home from school, so it is **critical** that you are at the house by 3:00 PM every day. We want someone who can provide a consistent, welcoming presence the moment they walk through the door.

Activity Driver: Driving the kids to various afternoon activities and practices. We are flexible regarding transportation—**you are welcome to use your own vehicle or use our family car.**

Daily Support: Preparing healthy afternoon snacks, assisting with homework as needed, and managing the children’s laundry.

Engagement: Providing a fun, kind, and energetic environment for an 11 and 8-year-old.

**Requirements**
Punctuality is a must: Reliability is our top priority to ensure the kids are never coming home to an empty house.

A clean driving record.

A warm, "can-do" personality with a flexible approach to changing afternoon schedules.

Experience with elementary-aged children.

**Why Join Us?**
Stability: This is a 52-week-per-year position. You can count on consistent pay and hours year-round, even during school breaks.
Competitive Pay: Compensation is competitive and based on experience.
Vehicle Flexibility: Use our car or yours—whichever you prefer!

If you’re a proactive, punctual person who wants to become a valued part of a busy family’s routine, we’d love to hear from you!
