Seeking honest, responsible / reliable, woman (a thoroughly vetted male is possible) starting in September  through the end of May / June to house sit, and support with childcare (well behaved girls – ages 8, 10) roughly 1-2 days a week (3 pm through evening) and my parents in their late 70′s 1-2 days per week. Plan on 3 days being occupied per week (3 pm to 8:30).

House will not be occupied 4 days per week. 3 days per week, the kids or grandparents will sleep over. Nice 4 bedroom house, with pool, jacuzzi near Oak and 14th – furnished. Use of a car is an option.

For Grandparents:

The kids are easy, sweet, lovable, well behaved, normal kids.
The grandparents are slowing down but with plenty of energy and a wealth of rich worldly experience. The grandmother has some short-term memory loss but functions far better outside of their house 20 minutes from Davis. The grandfather is a former orthospedic surgeon  with relatively mild Parkinson’s. He is deep and wise but slow with physical tasks; his mind is still sharp.
