20 Hours Per Week-After School Care for 8 and 12 Year Old Boys
We are looking for after school care support (college/grad student) for our boys, ages 8 and 12. This person should also love dogs (we have a 4 year old Labrador). We are looking for someone to foster a connected and loving relationship so to coach and advise /influence them to on a daily basis (putting in the extra effort on school work, rolling with life's disappointments, an empathetic ear during difficulty). There is no housework/laundry component to this role- the focus is the children. For the 12 year old, it would be carpooling to activities and confirmation of school work completion. For the 8 year old, it would be carpooling to activities, supervising playdates and homework and playing in the backyard. A successful candidate would be a strong communicator with a dynamic and engaging personality who is fun to be with but understands how and when to effect a disciplined response. A sporty candidate (male/female) who can shoot hoops, throw the baseball/football/lacrosse would be ideal. A good sense of humor is a key requirement for a good fit as well. Vaccinated and non-smoker who will lead by example (ie screens only to facilitate logistics during the working day.) We are looking for 20 hours per week 2:40-6:40 and will pay $22 plus per hour depending on car status (will pay gas) and experience/references. Start Date would be in August- date to be negotiated.
