Description

Occasional Friday or Saturday evenings, 2 to 4 times a month, roughly 5 to 10 pm. About 10 minutes from campus. Ride home covered.

We want someone who plays, not someone who supervises. Our two boys are creative, competitive, and high energy. A typical night: baseball, soccer, catch, or a Nerf war outside until dark, dinner together with the music up (Michael Jackson to Brazilian phonk), then Catan, chess, Pokémon cards, or a big Lego build. No screens for them or you until they're asleep.

Athletes, coaches, camp counselors, lifeguards, and anyone who grew up with brothers are especially welcome. Guys and girls both. Bonus if you fish or never outgrew Lego.

$30 to 40/hr depending on experience. Reliable repeat work for the right person.

To reply, tell us: what sport you play or have played, and what you'd do with two energetic boys from 7 to 8:30 pm with no TV. Strong swimmer preferred (the boys swim). References required. The first evening is a paid trial with a parent at home.
