• Enjoy creating meaningful connections and becoming part of the family's routine
• Be dependable, organized, and proactive
• Respect the family's no-screen-time routine during the week (aside from occasional TV)
• Be comfortable working with a family that values a progressive, inclusive approach to parenting
• Have a valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and a reliable vehicle

Family Details:

• Two boys, ages 5 and 7
• No pets
