Hi! We are in the process of moving from Kirkland to West Seattle 98116 area. We are looking for after school pickup and care for our three children, ages 4, 6, and 8. Days needed are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, time blocks down below, prob around 12 hours a week. The start date is flexible as we have not moved yet (if you are open to coming to Kirkland until the move that works too!), and we would like to begin ASAP. After school care involves needing a vehicle to pickup our PreK child from one location, and the other two at elementary school. You would be bringing them to our house afterwards until we get home from work by 5pm. Activities might include helping with homework, preparing snacks, and supervising activities. Comfort with pets is essential, as we have a French bulldog who likes attention and a cat who keeps to himself. Being able to take the dog out for potty breaks is a plus. We expect someone reliable who can create a fun and safe environment. Open to someone who could come earlier in day to walk the dog is also a plus!
Once in West Seattle, school schedule lets out as follows:
PreK at 2:30 Mon-Wed (can be picked up earlier)
Elementary at 2:25 Mon/Tues and at 1:10 Wed
If you are comfortable with dogs, we would be open to someone walking dog at 1pm Mon/Tues, then early pickup on Wednesday is at 1:10. That would provide a more consistent schedule of 1pm-5pm three days a week, for 12 hours a week.
Husband's work schedule sometimes has him out of town for a week, so if you had flexibility throughout week and was open to it, I might ask if you are available at those times to help out with our schedule, as sometimes the kids might have sports practice nearby etc.
