Dear Caregiver, We are are two working parents with a wonderful 11 year old daughter. My wife has a demanding office job and my job in the last year has required travelling 50-60% of the time. Although when I am home we are able to manage everything ourselves, it is stressful during my travel time, and always worrisome if our travel times can’t be arranged to be exclusive of each other. We are looking for someone to lighten the load while I am gone, as well as to support our daughter, as her extra-curricular activities tend to suffer. It would also be cool if this person brings other influences, has constructive hobbies, and can otherwise form a positive relationship and influence, setting a good example and being some sort of role model for our daughter. She is in full day school, and as mentioned when I am home we are able to manage ourselves. This means you would have much more free time than for example a normal full time job would provide, but the working times would be somewhat scattered. A typical weekday would be breakfast routine from 06:00 to 07:00, and then in the evening from 17:00 until 20:00. The days when I am home (40-50% of the month) would essentially be free days. Weekends will be variable. My schedule is known for the next month 2 weeks before the end of the current month. We have a fully finished basement apartment separated with private entrance but still accessible from the main house. Public transport is easily accessible. Driving will be necessary (so a licence valid in Germany) and if your own car is impractical then you will have access to ours. We have two cats and one dog, all very friendly. We are situated very near wonderful nature and not far from ‘the city’. If you are interested, we look forward to hearing something about you, and what you are looking for. Best regards, Ian and Linda.
