Playtime with our social 7-year-old

The experience

My happy privilege to care for our son. I work many hours for my music career, mostly from home, schedule is flexible. Help needed such as school pickups, playing in park, watching he’s safe on walks, etc. Let him enjoy his video games, but ask him questions about the characters & games. I'm often nearby, just need more time to work from home. Also need some help w/chores: washing dishes, vacuum, mop. Our friendly dog loves a walk!

Program Details

Mainly, the hours that you give us as trade will be spent playing with & taking care of our little one, Kai Arrow. He turned 7 years old on March 3rd! Kai is sociable - he loves it when people smile at him, make silly faces, sing & make weird sounds! He is a big fan of plants and trees, and he loves making creations with paper, scissors & markers. When you play with Kai, it is VERY helpful that you organize his toys (once or twice per week, for example), vacuum his crumbs, or that you wash some dishes when Kai plays downstairs. Kai is the main focus, but our house is big and it's hard for me to keep it clean, so please help whenever possible. (Thank you!:)

Activities & Shift

possible schedule on a weekday *during the School year*:

volunteer person 1 - 13:45-17:30 get Kai from school & playtime with Kai (picnic in the park, walk home, play in garden at home, sometimes mixed with some washing dishes, sweeping, mopping while Kai plays video games).
I come and go, to be with you & Kai whenever I take breaks from work, as I mostly work from home.

weekends are usually off / free🙂
