I am a part-time art instructor looking for some summer help with my two younger children, and sometimes my oldest as well. They are 22 months, 3, and 6. I have a backyard studio so am often working back there if not running errands. My husband also just works down the road. We would likely only need 1-2 mornings a week. We would also love an occasional evening sitter for a date night, but that isn't necessary. My kids love playing outside, playing games, doing crafts, or just using their imagination. We live in West Columbia, very close to downtown and have a dog.
