The schedule is Monday through Friday, encompassing morning hours from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM before school, and afternoon hours from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM after school. The position also includes overnight care on occasions when the parent is traveling, with additional compensation provided for overnight responsibilities.

After school, duties include transportation to extracurricular activities, homework assistance, dinner preparation, and overseeing the evening routine until the mother returns from work.
When the child is at school or with the father, the role extends to family assistant duties such as laundry, meal prep, grocery shopping, running errands, household organization, maintaining common areas, and scheduling appointments as needed to support household functionality. While the position is not primarily custodial housekeeping, the ideal candidate will enjoy organization and demonstrate initiative. Responsibilities also include preparing meals for the child, managing children's laundry, light tidying, coordinating appointments, handling household bills, and managing occasional home-related tasks such as Amazon or other retail returns and providing access to contractors when necessary.
Ideal Candidate:
The preferred candidate is warm, dependable, organized, proactive, and an excellent communicator. The successful applicant will display emotional maturity, patience, trustworthiness, and confidence in caring for school-aged children. A proactive approach, adaptability, strong time management, and the ability to anticipate household needs are highly valued.
Experience supporting children with ADHD or executive functioning challenges is a significant plus. The candidate should be skilled in establishing consistent routines, structure, and positive reinforcement. A safe driving record, sound judgment, professionalism, discretion, and flexibility are required. Ultimately, seeking someone committed to building a long-term, trusting relationship with our family and becoming a positive, reliable presence in our child's life.
About the Family:
The child is a kind-hearted, creative, intelligent, humorous, and energetic 9-year-old. He has a particular interest in social studies and science but finds math more challenging. His after-school activities include sports, tutoring, and occasional playdates.

Discipline is centered around setting clear expectations within a positive and supportive environment, emphasizing respect, accountability, and teamwork. Approaches are calm and respectful, with age-appropriate consequences aimed at teaching and guiding rather than punishing.
