Description
I need help with my 2 kids and around my house. Getting them ready for school, making lunches, driving to school and helping with grocery shopping & errands. Making dinner a couple nights a week. Some house tidying and lawn mowing/gardening.
I am a single mother of 2 children - my son is 13 and my daughter is 7. We live in East Vancouver, and our house is very centrally located to access all the great parts of living in Vancouver. We get along great with all our neighbors. We live in a house and also have a flower/veggie/berry garden. Transit is VERY easy to catch, a main thoroughfare is only 2 blocks away. I have my daughter 50% of the week and my son on all weekdays. We speak English only but love Spanish (my kids take it in school). We love going to the beach, hiking, going to see a movie and hanging out with family & friends. We also have one cat - so those with allergies, please take note!
I am looking for a very responsible person who has a clean & valid driving record (allowed to drive in BC/Canada). You would be driving my kids to/from school 5 days a week (vehicle provided) and making their breakfast & school lunches some days. Your schedule would NEED to allow for this Mon afternoon-Fri morning. I am looking for someone to commit to 6-8 weeks (Sept & Oct) with us.
I am looking for someone who is very interesting in cooking as I would like dinner made by our workaway friend 1-2 nights a week. There would likely be 1 night of babysitting/week, and 2 late afternoons where you would drive my son to his Tai Kwon Do class (must have a valid license). We like to eat healthy and we don't eat red meat or pork very often, if at all. We’re mostly vegetarian and eat some fish. If this sounds like you - message me!
The schedule I need is basically 1.5 hours in the morning except Monday (7-8:30AM) and 3.5 hours most afternoons (3:15-7PM) except Friday, during the week.
