Mother of 5 looking for someone to hang with and entertain 8-year-old, sweet ASD daughter, so I can tend to other kids and their activities as needed.

Additional needs include meal prep, someone who is able to help keep things clean and tidy up as needed and has a reliable car. 16-24 hours a week, a few week nights in the evening and Saturday days a must, possibly some Sundays, willing to be flexible and work with the right person.
