Single mum looking for help wed/thur afterschool/ evening.
About Me
Hi, I’m a 42 year single mum of two fun boys aged 7 and 10 years old. I have a corporate job that sometimes requires me to work late with occasional over-night stays. I’m very relaxed and easy-going mum who has a really good structure with regards to family life, but I need some help mid-week to navigate juggling working away and giving the boys structure and consistency.
My Requirements
I’m looking for someone who can collect my boys from school (in Hartford) and look after them until I get home from work. This will be every Wednesday and Thursday evening from 3pm to about 7.30pm. I’d like someone who can take the boys to their afternoon club (football, Cubs, etc), supervise homework, cook dinner and help get the boys ready for bed. The boys attend a school which is 1km walk from our home and they regularly walk or cycle, so a car may not be necessary. Both boys love school and are both well-behaved and fun-loving. Neither boys have any medical, learning difficulties or allergies to be concerned with. We do not have any pets. It would be ideal if you could do the odd overnight stay on either a Wednesday or Thursday night, if I have to travel for work. Also the odd early morning drop off to school would be helpful too (but neither essential at the moment). During the summer holidays pick-up will be from their day-time activity club, which varies week-to-week but always in the Hartford area and will be from 9am-3pm.
