The family has 2 children ages 4-years-old and 7-years-old who are in school full-time. They have 1 dog.

• Help the children, 7 and 4, get ready for school in the morning, including getting dressed and brushing teeth.
• Prepare and serve breakfast
• Escort the children safely and on time to school a few blocks away
• Provide occasional care on school holidays, with advance notice (these would typically be non-federal, weekday holidays, observed by schools but not offices)

• A candidate who is warm, proactive, organized, dependable, and who enjoys becoming part of a family's long-term routine

• $40–45/hour, commensurate with experience
• Two weeks of paid vacation, with scheduling coordinated in advance and, where practical, around the family's travel schedule
