About the children:

The oldest child is almost 6 years old and a great kid! He is loving, determined, goal-oriented, and very inquisitive. He asks lots of questions that Mom and Dad try their best to answer. He likes math but struggles with reading and writing. Some of his favorite activities include playing games he’s made up, building with Legos, and talking about cars and tall buildings. He’s a big rule follower but wants to know why the rules exist.  He needs to know he is being loved and supported. 

This 3-year-old is loving, emotional, funny, and happy.  He LOVES his big brother. He is a “boy’s boy” who loves to explore the world and test boundaries. He hates any type of tension, and will lighten the mood by making people laugh if he thinks they’re unhappy.  He pretends to be tough, but he is very soft inside and will be considerate when he knows it’s important. The children are generally sweet and get along most of the time.

About the parents:   

These parents are calm, rational, and busy! They make their expectations clear to the boys and will give them 1-2 minutes of calm “alone time” in their rooms if they’re struggling. That is usually sufficient. Mom and Dad enforce a culture of respect in the home with no physical violence. 

Benefits:   

On the books salary plus paid vacation days off, paid holidays off, paid sick days off, and paid personal days off.
