House Sitting, 3 day a week Childcare / Elderly Support

johndawkins — Fri, 04 May 2012 02:31:34 +0000

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.

Duties:
For Kids
1. Driving kids to soccer, music lessons, etc..
2. Tutoring, oversee instrument practice, etc.
3. Preparing healthy meals
4. Putting them to sleep, preparing breakfast, taking them to school

For Grandparents:
1. Preparing healthy meals in the evening
2. Helping them with erands, internet orders, and other assorted support. 3. Spending some social time with them talking over herbal tea in the evening.

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.

- Free rent, unoccupied 4 days a week
- Potential use of car.
- Actual costs (i.e. – food, gas to run errands, etc.) reimbursed.
- Payment negotiated in person depending upon agreed duties and timing
- Starting September 1 and ending May 30 with options to start sooner or end later.

I have had experience sitting for children of ALL ages for seven years and I always come prepared with age appropriate activities. I also speak Spanish and can help with homework. References are available for those who ask.
