Berkeley Odd Jobs

We are looking for someone 20 hrs a week (hours and days flexible) to play with our two fun kiddos over the next few months. Our 5-year-old boy and almost 3-year-old girl are super fun and energetic and need a playmate. Both kids are in preschool, but our daughter would get picked up, brought home and put down for a nap. Our son would be picked up at 4 p.m. On Sundays, we'd be looking for someone to do bedtime for both kids. Our ideal candidate is active and can help with our family cooking (dinner). Occasional errands like grocery shopping may be included.

We need a provider for my father 2-3+ days/week in the afternoon and evening. The primary need is for shopping and other errands, dinner preparation and companionship. Also some light housework and transportation to appointments as needed. We ask that you use your own car for errands and transportation of my father. We are looking for someone who enjoys cooking and will join my father for dinner. It is ideal if you have some flexibility with which days of the week you work, as we are coordinating with another caregiver.
