Need a sitter for date nights and some daytime errands for mom. Would be one or two nights every other week. And once or twice a week during the day.

About who needs care: Care is for my 82-year-old mother that recently had a hip pinning and will be released from rehab soon. They do expect a full recovery, but she will need home assistance before the rehab facility lets her go home. About the care needs: The perfect person would have a gentle, easy going personality and like to cook. My mother's hobby is cooking and baking and would love to return to be able to do it. I believe this would be part of her process in healing. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.

I am looking for some help with my infant and toddler (2-year-old girl and 6-month-old boy). I am a stay-at-home mom so I may be in the house getting chores done, or out running errands, or even resting after a particularly wakeful night. I am completely flexible on hours and days. It could be a couple mornings a week or full days or whatever works for you. A lot of your time may be spent with only one child, since I will take my infant every couple of hours to breastfeed him and put him down for naps. Also my toddler naps for a couple hours in the afternoon. We have a large playroom and lots of outdoor space, so if I'm in the house you won't feel like I'm hovering - yet I'm close by if you need help.

Looking for help with housekeeping. We have two kids, two dogs, husband and I both work full time and can't keep up with keeping a big house organized. We need help with all of it - sweeping/mopping/vacuuming, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, washing folding and putting away laundry and bed linens, dishes (loading and unloading dishwasher), and just generally straightening up and staying organized. Bonus if you are willing and able to help with errands such as groceries. Our kids are babies and very sweet (3 months and almost 2 years). We also have 2 dogs, one is a Doberman but they are both very friendly. They will bark the first time you come over but then they will love you. Husband and I just both work long and sometimes unpredictable hours and could use a helping hand. We can be flexible in terms of how often but I am thinking one a week or once every other week. Would be great if you are experienced (can provide references) and organized. Will need your own transportation.

Schedule is very flexible as I am a stay at home mom & really needing someone just to help out on errand days, date nights or days when I just need to have a me day. If we find the perfect fit this could lead to a more permanent position.
