We are looking for a fun, responsible, engaged person to pick up our rising 3rd grade daughter (81/2 years old) and rising 1st grade son (6 1/2 years old) from school weekdays at 3:15. We are flexible in setting a schedule of between three and five days per week, and which days those are, that we need someone to watch the kids from 3:15-6:30pm. Our home is one block away from the school in Chevy Chase, DC, and four blocks from Connecticut Ave., NW. Responsibilities will include walking the kids home, helping them prepare a healthy snack to eat, establishing a nurturing environment in which they can do homework, taking them to sports practices/music lessons, chaperoning play dates, overseeing bathing, and assisting with dinner preparation (from time to time). Mostly, we want someone who will lovingly provide our kids a safe environment to be curious and explore their worlds. Qualifications: We need someone who is at least 18 years old, has experience providing childcare, is comfortable driving children in their own car and has a clean driving record (we may also make a car available for your use), and is - most importantly - super excited to work with sweet, happy children. We will request references and conduct a background check of successful candidates.
