About the Children

4 weeks old, girl: She's 100% breast milk fed and they're using a combination of nursing and bottles. They're still fast and loose with naps. They would love for the baby to have a more established schedule in a few months time, perhaps before the leave in June.

Responsibilities

Mom is home and happy to be with the baby in the mornings. You'll arrive around 11 AM or 12 PM to help with anything Mom needs, before she heads to pick-up the older girls at school around 1:00 PM (their pick-up is at 1:30 PM). While Mom is with the girls, taking them to after-school activities, it's baby time for you! When baby is awake, you'll help feed her, play with her, read her books etc. When baby is sleeping, which is a lot right now, you'll help out around the house with baby related and household tasks. Loading the dishwasher, doing laundry for the older girls, and generally tidying up will all be so super helpful for Mom!
