We are very flexible, the purpose of hiring someone is to give me a chance to spend a little more time working. Although I checked off the Monday-Friday daytime, that is not a requirement! Students may apply as well, we can work around your schedule. In a perfect world, you would spend a couple mornings per week doing housework and a couple afternoons you would be able to pick the kids up from school, spend time with them, cook dinner for the kids, clean up after and then head home. Weekends optional. Opportunity for more hours.
