Odd Jobs in Carlsbad, CA

Hello Sitters! I am searching for an occasional sitter to watch my 2 little guys when I have the random appointments or errands I need to tend to during the weekdays. We would really love someone willing to come and get to know us, and the boys, prior to watching them solo, so we can build a trusting and lasting relationship. You would need to be comfortable with 2 excitable little dudes who LOVE to play, paint, be outside, get messy, splash in water, read books and have fun. Having a flexible schedule is also ideal! If your hours fall during their naps, we'd appreciate someone willing to meal prep dinner for the evening and do some light housework. Thank you for considering becoming part of our boys' (and our) lives!

About who needs care: My mom is almost 90. She thinks she can still drive, but we're hoping to curb that.

This person should have a great deal of patience. About the care needs: Lots of patience! My mom has always enjoyed camping, hiking and birdwatching. She is an "avid" reader and still volunteers a couple of days per month at the the Library in Carlsbad. A strong personality would be good; not necessarily bossy, but not to "sweet" either. : ) Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
