Help
We need some help around the house and with the kids and dog. We would need some support with the girls; perhaps babysitting, picking one or both up from or dropping off to school. Walking the dog. Perhaps helping to tidy up and cook meals. Help kids with homework. Anything that helps us out on family tasks during this time. Sometimes you may be required to drive, so a valid full drivers licence would be great.
